Exploring
the use of digital methods in heritage studies and archaeological research

The two volumes of
Digital Heritage and Archaeology in
Practice bring together archaeologists and heritage professionals from
private, public, and academic sectors to discuss practical applications of
digital and computational approaches to the field. Contributors thoughtfully
explore the diverse and exciting ways in which digital methods are being
deployed in archaeological interpretation and analysis, museum collections and
archives, and community engagement, as well as the unique challenges that these
approaches bring.

In
this volume, essays address methods for preparing and analyzing archaeological
data, focusing on preregistration of research design and 3D digital topography.
Next, contributors use specific case studies to discuss data structuring, with
an emphasis on creating and maintaining large data sets and working with legacy
data. Finally, the volume offers insights into ethics and professionalism,
including topics such as access to data, transparency and openness, scientific
reproducibility, open-access heritage resources, Indigenous sovereignty,
structural racial inequalities, and machine learning.

Digital Heritage and Archaeology in Practice highlights the importance of community, generosity, and openness in the
use of digital tools and technologies. Providing a purposeful counterweight to
the idea that digital archaeology requires expensive infrastructure,
proprietary software, complicated processes, and opaque workflows, these
volumes privilege perspectives that embrace straightforward and transparent
approaches as models for the future.
