Remote Archaeology: Taking Archaeology Online in the Wake of COVID-19

Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2021

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Remote Archaeology: Taking Archaeology Online in the Wake of COVID-19," at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Online archaeology has advanced steadily with technology in the discipline, from 3-D printing to online site tours slowly and steadily gaining more interest as interpretive tools. The current pandemic however has mandated that many sites and research projects be taken fully online regardless of preparation or desire. This symposium discusses different ways archaeology is being taken online, and how this transition has made archaeology more accessible to the public, as well as challenges and obstacles that still remain especially in terms of equity.
