This article is about the subdiscipline of archaeology. For the 2010 exhibition, see Digital Archaeology (exhibition).
Digital archaeology is the application of information technology and digital media to archaeology.[1][2] It includes the use of digital photography, 3D reconstruction, virtual reality, and geographical information systems, among other techniques.[3] Computational archaeology, which covers computer-based analytical methods, can be considered a subfield of digital archaeology, as can virtual archaeology.[4]
The use of digital technology to conduct archaeological research allows data to be collected without the invasion or destruction of archaeological sites and the cultural heritage they hold, aiding the preservation of archaeological data. This is how many early archaeological sites were discovered in-depth.[5] Applications of this technology have aided the reconstruction of historical monuments and artefacts such as pottery, human fossils, and mummified remains.[1]
