Course Objectives

The goal of this course is to introduce the student to the emerging field of Digital Archaeology, its history, current possibilities and limitations, and future potential. Besides providing a general theoretical understanding of what Digital Archaeology is all about, the course also aims to provide hands-on practice in various methods and techniques related to the application of digital tools in archaeology. Beyond theoretical understanding and hands-on practice, the main purpose of the course is to instil the student with a mindset of problem-solving and developing habits of thought geared towards the opportunities of applying digital tools and technologies in the field of archaeology. This mindset goes beyond the practical understanding of a limited amount of specific tools to perform a fixed set of tasks, but rather serves to gain an understanding of how to address problems in creative ways, using digital technologies.
