Traditional methods of making archaeological data available are
becoming increasingly inadequate. Thanks to improved techniques for
examining data from multiple viewpoints, archaeologists are now in
a position to choose to record different kinds of data, and to
explore that data more fully than ever before. The growing
availability of computer networks and other technologies means that
communication should become increasingly open and available to
archaeologists in all parts of the world. Will this result in the
democratization of archaeological knowledge on a global basis? For
the first time archaeology practised with technical developments
can be contrasted with archaeology undertaken in relative
technological isolation. The chapters deal not only with
technologies like solid modelling, videodisc, hypertext and expert
systems as used in archaeology, but also discuss topics such as the
use of information technology to integrate large scale research in
East Africa, and the dissemination of the cultural practice of
Tibetan art. Contributors come from Western and Eastern Europe, the
Far East, Africa and the Americas.
