Abstract

OK computer? Digital community archaeologies in practice

Highlights

The articles of Internet Archaeology came out of a Theoretical Archaeology Group session at Manchester University in 2014
The session was motivated to explore issues associated with 'digital public archaeology' (DPA). It addressed the ways in which digital methods mediated or challenged the practice of public archaeology, an aspect of archaeology that has often emphasised communities defined by an attachment to place, frequently framed by the archaeological site
We wondered whether the mitigation of archaeological practice by digital media, which has been argued to lead to the unclear ontological statuses of material culture (Tringham 2010; Carusi et al 2011), led to any specific issues with the practice of digital public archaeology
