Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
It is asserted that the provision of authoritative, interpretative, syntheses is what archaeologists seek through publication. Further, that the first real challenge of the digital age has been to balance this trend and in contrast to archaeological practice over the last two decades, a shift toward the dissemination of raw data is being witnessed. This move towards dissemination to put it on an equal footing with publication and synthesis is here considered both irrevocable and fundamental. The provision of interactive data will begin to allow the formation of new relationships between archaeologists, archaeological organisations and the practice of archaeology. The range of digital provision which may be expected within a medium-sized archaeological organisation is demonstrated with reference to the situation at the University of Birmingham and Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit (BUFAU). | ||
