Event description

Explore the intersection of archaeology and emerging data analytics methods, examine the evolving relationship between the physical and digital and gain insights into the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of digital archaeology.

This symposium brings together University of Melbourne scholars from diverse fields to share their work on data-driven approaches to investigating the past. The symposium will showcase projects that use a variety of data practices, digital tools, computational methods, and analytical techniques.

Speakers will discuss how innovative data-driven methodologies contribute to expanding the frontiers of digital archaeology. Discover new avenues of archaeological inquiry that apply to individual artefacts as well as broad cultural landscapes. Topics include digital preservation of cultural heritage, critical reflections on technology's impact, ethics and interpretation, novel digital methods, and the role of AI and advanced computational techniques.

Morning and afternoon tea provided.
