Disciplinary grand challenge: archaeology within a modern material context
Disciplinary grand challenge: archaeology within a modern material context
Presentation to "What do you want from your digital archaeology?" Roundtable at CAA2014, Paris, 25 April, 2014
Additve Manufacturing is enabling the spirit of virtual archaeology to generate new challenges to transform archaeological practice positively. Printing artefacts, monuments and cultural landscapes is established technologically and is already starting to disrupt both transcultural and disciplinary discourses and narratives as direct access these e-cultural entities by almost anyone, almost anywhere, to materialise them in any transcultural space, effectively disintermediates the opinions, interpretations and ‘authority’ of archaeologists and cultural resource managers. The implications of the above abbreviated, and much truncated, thesis for archaeology are immense. Releasing the spirit of virtual archaeology into any/transcultural space will add a technological nuance to the debate on the ontology of archaeology.
This paper challenges archaeologists to 'print' an excavation in macro- and micro-morphilogically accurate detail

Abstract
Presentation to "What do you want from your digital archaeology?" Roundtable at CAA2014, Paris, 25 April, 2014
Additve Manufacturing is enabling the spirit of virtual archaeology to generate new challenges to transform archaeological practice positively. Printing artefacts, monuments and cultural landscapes is established technologically and is already starting to disrupt both transcultural and disciplinary discourses and narratives as direct access these e-cultural entities by almost anyone, almost anywhere, to materialise them in any transcultural space, effectively disintermediates the opinions, interpretations and ‘authority’ of archaeologists and cultural resource managers. The implications of the above abbreviated, and much truncated, thesis for archaeology are immense. Releasing the spirit of virtual archaeology into any/transcultural space will add a technological nuance to the debate on the ontology of archaeology.
