The iPod Touch: Part of the 21st Century Archaeology Toolkit
Posted on September 1, 2010 | View CommentsYesterday, I was very excited to tune into the livestream of Steve Jobs and Apple’s Music Day. Not because I’m a huge music fan (which I am), or because I really wanted to know who the musical guest was going to be (Coldplay. Nice.), but... -
Archaeology, Social Media, and the in-the-field workflow
Posted on April 25, 2010 | View CommentsI have been using Digital Social Media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr to show real-time posts to the fans of Campus Archaeology while we are excavating in the field. These messages are all attached to an image, so making sure the image is... -

Foursquare, Yelp, and Making Archaeology Visible on the Virtual Landscape
Posted on January 13, 2010 | View CommentsUnless you have the resources of Williamsburg or Historic St. Mary’s City, recreating the historical landscape above ground is a near impossibility. Once excavations are complete, the units are filled in, and the space goes back to being what it once was, or it is... -
