Title:
Apps and Archaeology. Use of Apps as Archaeological Tools
Content:
Archaeology as a science and discipline has evolved remarkably from its birth to the present day. It has gone from being an auxiliary discipline of History to a science with its own entity and personality. In recent years, new technologies have offered us a huge number of tools to facilitate our archaeological work.
In this session we would like to explore some of the most interesting mobile apps for the archaeologist's work, from photogrammetry to GIS systems, exploring which of them are suitable for each archaeological necessity, the implication of new mobile technologies in daily work, current dependence on many of these apps and the democratization of archaeology thanks to them.
Carrying out this session collaboratively in a regular session will help us to share experiences, learn about other uses that can be given to everyday applications that, a priori, are not intended for archaeology, as well as assess and create synergies and possibilities for developing new applications in the future based on the needs of professionals.
