Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This article assesses computer visualisations in the light of a range of anthropological, art historical, and cultural critiques to place them and their production squarely within the broader spectrum of the discipline's output. Moving from identifying the shortcomings in the methods and scope of existing critiques of archaeological illustrations, a comprehensive approach to understanding the visual culture of archaeology is outlined. This approach is specifically applied to computer visualisations, and identifies both the sociology of their production, and the technological nature of their creation and reproduction as key elements influencing their readings as communicators of archaeological ideas. In order to develop useful understandings of how visual languages act within the discourse of the discipline, critiques of those languages must be inclusive. The cultural products of archaeology as a discipline should be treated with the same sophistication as the examination of the products of other cultures (past and present), or it is thought archaeologists will struggle to use them to their full potential. | ||
