It's all Greek, to Digital Archaeology

 

 Hi all,

Came across this promotional post about digital applications in Greek archaeology. includes a little of everything, all done very well! They don't unfortunately, actually provide any digital fly through links, despite the promise, but here is one for you to get a sense of that, too:




That, of course, is the real challenge, you'll find, in executing effective digital archaeology and digital heritage applications and research. What I see in reading through this post, is the money, inter-disciplinary co-ordination, and, of course, economic agendas (e.g., tourism), fuelling such efforts. Greece has long been a leader in digital applications in archaeology (as well as many places in Europe), and scholarship often goes hand in hand with promoting and celebrating Mediterranean heritage as something to see and experience. That is pretty plainly evident in the overview here!
