The second colloquium in the Digital Archaeology Bern series will take place on 1–3 February 2023, on the topic of “advancing open research into the next decade”.
The colloquium will consist of three main sessions dealing with the following topics:
- The impact and significance of open science in archaeology to date
- The interaction between archaeology, open science and the digital humanities
- Practical applications and exemplars for open science in archaeological research in the next decade
All three sessions will feature presentations from invited keynote speakers and from an open call for papers.
Participants will also have the opportunity to join one of two workshops or an archaeological field trip. Participants of the workshops (beginners & advanced) will learn about the principles of open research in archaeology and its real world application.
