Congratulations to the authors and contributors to this important issue of the journal. Their message moves the discipline, and the academy as a whole, closer to a more just and equitable institution. There’s still work to be done, and I offer my thanks to the authors for moving the needle.
These #Cambridge articles showcase exciting advances in #archaeology, examining at the same time how #AI is opening up possibilities for discovery, and enriching the debate around accuracy and ethics.
