Reaching the Point of No Return: The Computational Revolution in Archaeology

Abstract: Archaeologists generally agree that high-power computer technology constitutes the most efficient venue for addressing many issues in archaeological research. Digital techniques have become indispensable components of archaeological surveys, fieldwork, lab work, and communication between researchers. One of the greatest advantages of the digital approach is its ability to examine large assemblages of items using advanced statistical methods. Digital documentation has reached the point of no return in archaeolo… Show more

“…Recently, however, other approaches were added, combining the two types of analyses (Hovers, 2009;Nigst, 2012;Scerri et al, 2016;Tostevin, 2012). At the same time, new technologies such as the use of 2D and 3D digital images of artifacts (Bretzke & Conard, 2012;Chac on et al, 2016;Dogand zić, Braun, & McPherron, 2015;Grosman, 2016), have opened new perspectives in the field of lithic analysis. However, the use of these very different methods has sometimes contributed to impeding communication between researchers as well as restricting comparisons between stone tool assemblages.…”
