What's New in Archaeology

CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT A Collaborative Primer for Archaeologists Edited by Thomas F. King Drawing on fifty-plus years’ experience, and augmented by the advice of fourteen collaborators,  Cultural Resource Management  explains what “CRM archaeologists” do, and explores the public policy, ethical, and pragmatic implications of doing it for a living. Introduction

MAY 2020 BLURRING TIMESCAPES, SUBVERTING ERASURE Remembering Ghosts on the Margins of History Edited by Sarah Surface-Evans, Amanda E. Garrison and Kisha Supernant Drawing on archaeological, historical, and ethnographic data,  Blurring Timescapes, Subverting Erasure  demonstrates the value of conceiving of ghosts not just as metaphors, but as mechanisms for making the past more concrete and allowing the negative specters of enduring historical legacies, such as colonialism and capitalism, to be exorcised.

NEW SERIES Digital Archaeology: Documenting the Anthropocene

FIRST VOLUME FORTHCOMING JULY 2020 AN ENCHANTMENT OF DIGITAL ARCHAEOLOGY Raising the Dead with Agent Based Models, Archaeogaming, and Artificial Intelligence Shawn Graham The use of computation in archaeology is a kind of magic, a way of heightening the archaeological imagination. Agent-based modelling allows archaeologists to test the ‘just-so’ stories they tell about the past. It requires a formalization of the story so that it can be represented as a simulation; researchers are then able to explore the unintended consequences or emergent outcomes of stories about the past. Agent-based models are one end of a spectrum that, at the opposite side, ends with video games. This volume explores this spectrum in the context of Roman archaeology, addressing the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of a formalized approach to computation and archaeogaming.

DIGITAL ARCHAEOLOGY: DOCUMENTING THE ANTHROPOCENE SERIES Series Editor: Andrew Reinhard This series aims to answer the questions of what digital heritage looks like and how it can be understood archaeologically. Read more.
