Archaeo-Informatics

Under the topic ‘Archaeo-Informatics 2022: Challenges in Digital Archaeology’, the Istanbul Department of the German Archaeological Institute and the Department of Settlement Archaeology at the Middle East Technical University jointly organised a conference between 23 and 25 November to highlight problems and challenges in digital archaeology.
The conference primarily offered a platform for researchers to discuss issues relating to digital archaeology, exchange experiences and develop new solutions.
The main focus of this conference, which can be seen as a prelude to further events, was on three important topics in archaeoinformatics: digital documentation and documentation standards in archaeology, the analysis of digital data and its archiving, and the publication of digital data.
In addition to numerous exciting contributions on the topic of digital archaeology, the conference concluded with a lively plenary discussion on ‘Digital Humanities: State-of-the-Art and Outlook’.
