Introduction to the Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology Symposium, and the Digital Network for Nautical Archaeology (DNNA)

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

This presentation introduces the SHA2023 Open Symposium Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology, providing some initial context for the symposium’s objectives and scope, and the structure of the presentations and concluding discussion. The symposium is seen as timely given the now widespread use of digital methods for data-capture, analysis, interpretation and dissemination in nautical archaeology.

In part, the symposium seeks to raise awareness of the Digital Network for Nautical Archaeology, a reboot of the former Faro-arm and Rhino Archaeological User Group (FRAUG) network and encourage practitioners to engage with and participate in its activities and aspirations. Both the presentations of this symposium and the ensuing debate will help to inform this network’s aspirations and future direction.
