Archaeological Information in the Digital Society - The Conference 2016


There are many challenges pertaining to the making, documentation, management, use and theorising of digital archaeological information. ARKDIS-project organised a two conference in Uppsala June 30-July, 2016 on archaeological information in the digital society. The conference was at the same time the third Centre for Digital Heritage annual meeting and gathered an engaged group of 40 participants from around the world to discuss different aspects of archaeological information and digital heritage. Conference featured four keynotes by Dr. Michael Olsson (UTS), Dr. Åsa Berggren (Sydsvensk arkeologi), Dr. Kari Uotila (Muuritutkimus) and Prof. Julian Richards (University of York) and two full days of presentations from heritage scholars and specialists. The conference was concluded by a field trip to Gamla Uppsala on July 2.

The programme of the conference and the ARKDIS conference webpage are online to consult together with a probably somewhat non-exhaustive log of tweets (without retweets) from the conference.

6/30/2016 0:39:13.@ihuvila giving opening address and background to conference #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 0:48:38First up - Keynote by Michael Olsson (Sydney) on field arch as embodied social practice https://t.co/bfZUfAnCfS #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 0:57:15Olsson looking at archaeologists as community. Acad vs field practice, theory vs practice #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 0:58:54Most knowledge needed by archs is invisible in literature. Tacit and implicit #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 0:59:51Olsson: ‘information has a role in defining who we are’ #arkdis16Gary Brannan
6/30/2016 1:00:08Olsson: passion to which archaeologists hold to their identity disappears in the published literature #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:02:10Olsson: Never ask an English and a Scottish archaeologist to define Iron Age in same conversation #ARKDIS16 - metaphor for #brexit outcome?Julian D Richards
6/30/2016 1:03:15Olsson: used ethnographic approach on site, but never pretended he was't there! #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:06:06Interesting potential comparison here about the decisions taken in archaeological finds and appraisal #arkdis16Gary Brannan
6/30/2016 1:06:12Olsson: key moment in arch practice is whether something goes in the finds tray or on the spot heap! #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:07:53Olsson: objects can be documents too and so this decision point is crucial #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:11:54Olsson: decisions are invested in expertise of team members - but this is not 'documented' in the traditional sense #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:16:09Olsson: haptic (hands on) analysis important eg. Knowing a tool from picking it up #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:17:17Some of this reminds me of this article about excavation photography https://t.co/butDvceo5w #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:25:24Olsson: archaeology as apprenticeship. An Internalised socialised discipline #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:28:49Olsson: investigated why everyone still draws. It's about 'knowing your trench'. A cognitive socio practice #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:33:03Interesting similarity: archaeology and influence and excitement of Time Team and archives and WDYTYA. #arkdis16Gary Brannan
6/30/2016 1:33:38Olsson: analysing how sites are represent. Passion and excitement of arch is stripped from formal reports #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 1:34:04Olsson: "We are missing portals that unite these different stories" that link the research and the stories #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 2:06:39Now @nicolo_dellunto on 3D simulation platforms and arch interpretation #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 2:09:28Dell'Unto: overproduction of 3D data, but has it changed #archaeology #arkdis16Isto Huvila
6/30/2016 2:12:09.@nicolo_dellunto 3D models. Great for presentation but less the research tool they were lauded to be #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 2:18:49.@nicolo_dellunto reflexive on site usage of 3D models at Çatalhöyük #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 2:24:54Great example by @nicolo_dellunto of usefulness of 3D model on site to retrieve info from previous season to aid interpretation #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
6/30/2016 2:30:43.@nicolo_dellunto Volumetrics is the next challenge for 3D archaeology - and also the relationship with density of finds? #ARKDIS16Julian D Richards

7/1/2016 7:55:08@Julian62523002 reminds that data collection is expensive! Reason to reuse. But preservation costs, too #arkdis16Isto Huvila
7/1/2016 7:56:09Amirite, kids? Neat idea though. #arkdis16 https://t.co/a35RMD8mYvGary Brannan
7/1/2016 7:57:25Richards: biggest battle is to persuade colleagues to archive and to factor in funds for its preservation properly #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
7/1/2016 7:58:45Richards: research funders also need to have strength to stand up to non-deposition and refuse further funds (stick vs carrot) #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
7/1/2016 8:00:27Richards: there is an economic and a research value of digital archiving #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
7/1/2016 8:01:29Richards: key lesson is that it's easier to work in partnership rather than in isolation and it feeds back to our work #arkdis16Internet Archaeology
