Contributors thoughtfullyexplore the diverse and exciting ways in which digital methods are beingdeployed in archaeological interpretation and analysis, museum collections andarchives, and community engagement, as well as the unique challenges that theseapproaches bring.

Inthis volume, essays address methods for preparing and analyzing archaeologicaldata, focusing on preregistration of research design and 3D digital topography.Next, contributors use specific case studies to discuss data structuring, withan emphasis on creating and maintaining large data sets and working with legacydata. Finally, the volume offers insights into ethics and professionalism,including topics such as access to data, transparency and openness, scientificreproducibility, open-access heritage resources, indigenous sovereignty,structural racial inequalities, and machine learning.
