The Ancient World Goes Digital
The new volume of the CyberResearch series brings together thirty-three authors under the umbrella of digital methods in Archaeology, Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Biblical studies. Both a newbie and a professional reader will find here diverse research topics, accompanied by detailed presentations of digital methods: distant reading of text corpora, GIS digital imaging, and various methods of text analyses. The volume is divided into three parts under the headings of archaeology, texts and online publishing, and includes a wide range of approaches from the philosophical to the practical. This volume brings the reader up-to-date research in the field of digital Ancient Near Eastern studies, and highlights emerging methods and practices. While not a textbook per se, the book is excellent for teaching and exploring the Digital Humanities.
Archeologia e Calcolatori, 30, 2019
Il volume 30 di «Archeologia e Calcolatori» si apre con un inserto speciale, dedicato al trentennale della rivista. Alle introduzioni di F. Djindjian e di P. Moscati, che delineano un quadro dell’informatica archeologica nel suo divenire, seguono gli articoli dei membri del Comitato di Redazione, a testimoniare l’attività di ricerca e di sperimentazione che ha caratterizzato il cammino editoriale della rivista, e il contributo di una giovane laureata dell’Università Bocconi, che ha lavorato a stretto contatto con il team di «Archeologia e Calcolatori». Nella parte centrale sono pubblicati gli articoli proposti annualmente dagli autori. Ne emerge un quadro che rappresenta gli aspe...

The Oxford Handbook of Archaeological Network Research
Network research has recently been adopted as one of the tools of the trade in archaeology, used to study a wide range of topics: interactions between island communities, movements through urban spaces, visibility in past landscapes, material culture similarity, exchange, and much more. This Handbook is the first authoritative reference work for archaeological network research, featuring current topical trends and covering the archaeological application of network methods and theories. This is elaborately demonstrated through substantive topics and case studies drawn from a breadth of periods and cultures in world archaeology. It highlights and further develops the unique contributions made by archaeological research to network science, especially concerning the development of spatial and material culture network methods and approaches to studying long-term network change. This is the go-to resource for students and scholars wishing to explore how network science can be applied in archaeology through an up-to-date overview of the field.

Le banche dati archeologiche. Articolazione e formalizzazione delle conoscenze
Il secondo volume della serie “30 anni di informatica archeologica”, pubblicato nella collana Futuro Anteriore, è dedicato alle banche dati per l’archeologia: sistemi di archiviazione ampiamente utilizzati in ambito archeologico fin dalla fine degli anni Sessanta del Novecento come efficace mezzo per gestire le consistenti quantità di dati con cui lo studioso si doveva confrontare nei diversi settori della ricerca sull’antico. La loro applicazione ha dunque percorso, caratterizzandola, tutta la storia dell’informatica archeologica. Il tema ben si adatta alle pagine di questa collana, che è nata con il proposito di proiettare nel futuro, attraverso una trasposizione temporale, le esperienze passate in funzione epistemica e con valore retrospettivo.
