Document Summary

Digital archaeology: an early use of the term was in the context of mining increasingly large and difficult to access datasets. The data deluge: archaeology has wandered into exciting but daunting territory. It faces floods of new evidence about the human past that are largely digital, frequently spatial, increasingly open and often remotely sensed. Could be useful in the future; stopping this could hinder future research. Meta-analysis and synthesis: some initial excitement from growth of digital datasets was potential for synthesizing data from multiple projects, potential for meta-analysis does not mean it can be carried out without great deal of difficulty. !1: not a hopeless cause, but requires much more dialogue and collaboration between scholars, archaeology needs a set of best practises with respect to management of datasets. First principles: scholars must be critical of the database system they employ along with the intended data they will collect.
