- Abstract
- This paper examines the profound impact of digital technology on Classical and Mediterranean archaeology, with a focus on digital field recording and infrastructure. Using the 'skeuomorphism of practice' framework, it traces the integration of technology into our current practice. The Swedish Pompeii project is used as a case study to illustrate the adoption of 3D models into traditional archaeological practices. While highlighting the benefits, the paper also addresses the tensions between traditional and digital methods. As archaeological practices increasingly generate digital data, the role of infrastructures as collaborative hubs is emphasised. The study questions the adequacy of current pedagogy in preparing students for the digital... (More)
