Now on the final talk of Session 4 at #CAAUK2025!
Our very own Alphaeus Lien-Talks is closing the session with work on AI for digitising archaeological archives and building robust, accessible datasets for future research.
#DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK
We’ve just had two great papers in #CAAUK2025 Session 4 — Robert Foley on PyLithics and computer-vision for lithic analysis, and Victor Yan Kin Lee on multi-objective clustering for archaeological time series.
Next up: Linduo Li on fusing text and terrain with an LLM-powered data pipeline.
A fantastic talk from Sarah Middle with the @ads-update.bsky.social on digital twins and the ARTEMIS project — highlighting their potential to reshape archaeological workflows.
Next up: Alfredo Cortell-Nicolau with 'Sinumorph', an R package for simulating diachronic shape evolution.
#CAAUK2025
Session 4 at #CAAUK2025 is underway!
We're exploring new digital horizons — from interactive geophysical storytelling and heritage digital twins to AI-driven simulations and computer vision in archaeology.
First up -- Dushyant Naresh on communicating geophysics through interactive storytelling!
That’s Session 3 at #CAAUK2025!
A great set of papers showing how modelling and simulation can illuminate political landscapes, cultural dispersal, inequality, morphology, agriculture, and rock-art networks.
Thanks for the lively discussion — now time for coffee! ☕
