Web talks on digital archaeology

In these short videos early career scholars, senior researchers, and academics from Europe and North America talk about how and why they began using digital archaeology methods and how they developed their digital archaeology skills. The interviews took place during the CAA 2019 conference in Tübingen and the videos were produced as part of the work of WG 4: Digital Scholarship.

• Digital Archaeology I: How did you get started?
• Digital Archaeology II: What is the Value of DA in your work?
• Digital Archaeology III: How do you develop Digital Archaeology Skills?
