Classical Archaeology in the Digital Age - The AIAC Presidential Panel - Panel 12.1

Classical Archaeology is a discipline which has undergone major changes in recent decades. From its origin as an "Altertumswissenschaft" with a strong emphasis on art and architecture, Classical Archaeology has embraced the most modern methods in field archaeology and analysis of data. The application of digital humanities to Classical Archaeology has changed how archaeologists work, how data is collected and preserved, and how results are made available to the scholarly community and the public in general. The International Association for Classical Archaeology (AIAC) has been a forerunner in digital humanities with the creation and running of Fasti Online and the online peer-reviewed journal FOLD&R. This volume contains papers presented at the panel organized by AIAC in order to present the digital development of the discipline through examples from different countries. It is hoped that the case studies will provide a basis for a discussion on Classical Archaeology in a digital world - benefits, challenges and where the fast development may take our discipline in the future.
