Open Access Monograph Series: Cotsen Digital Archaeology

Cotsen Digital Archaeology series
The Cotsen Digital Archaeology (CDA) series presents the results of original archaeological and conservation research through digitally initiated and accessible publications that integrate innovative multimedia and data links. The Cotsen Digital Archaeology series thus comprises hybrid publications that have extra online components in the form of audio and video files, data files, data base structures and apps. These materials can be found with each book under the left side tab "supporting materials." Cotsen Digital Archaeology books are published after the same rigorous peer review process as all other Cotsen Press publications, including data review. The printed volumes are also listed on our website http://www.ioa.ucla.edu/publications/browse-books/viewall and can be purchased through our distributor the University of Mexico Press (http://www.unmpress.com/). The purpose of the Digital Archaeology Series is to expand the availability of data and make full use of the new possibilities offered by online interactive publication. The development of this series is a gradual process of experimentation that will take place over the next five years.

This volume suggests a critical approach to archaeology in a digital world, a purposeful and systematic application of digital tools in archaeology. This is a call to pay attention to your digital tools, to be explicit about how you are using them, and to understand how they work and impact your own practice. The chapters in this volume demonstrate how this critical, reflexive approach to archaeology in the digital age can be accomplished, touching on topics that include 3D data, predictive and procedural modelling...

Archaeology 2.0: New Approaches to Communication and Collaboration

(2011)

How is the Web transforming the professional practice of archaeology? And as archaeologists accustomed to dealing with “deep time,” how can we best understand the possibilities and limitations of the Web in meeting the specialized needs of professionals in this field? These are among the many questions posed and addressed in Archaeology 2.0: New Approaches to Communication and Collaboration, edited by Eric Kansa, Sarah Whitcher Kansa, and Ethan Watrall. With contributions from a range of experts in archaeology and technology, this volume is organized around four key topics that illuminate how the revolution in communications technology reverberates across the discipline: approaches to information retrieval and information access; practical and theoretical concerns inherent in design choices for archaeology’s computing infrastructure...
