Überlegungen zur Digitalen Archäologie und zu ihrem Verhältnis zu den Digitalen Geisteswissenschaften (original) (raw)

Archaeology is dedicated to studying material culture as a whole, using various methods and theories. Cultural analyses of complex social phenomena are standard throughout the diversity of the discipline, as are, e.g., bioarchaeological analyzes of animal remains to reconstruct eating habits, etc. Within this diversity, researchers, regardless of the exact archaeological sub-field involved, have sought to apply information and communication technologies (ICT) to archaeological research since the advent of ICT. The talk aims to take up, go into more detail on, and expand upon several considerations of the "nature of digital archaeology" and archaeology's relations to digital humanities. In the context of the conference, the topic will ultimately be opened up for discussion by all.
