[Short abstract]
Scientific
concepts and methods are essential to modern archaeology. But the rapidly
increasing sophistication of techniques challenge researchers to make the best
use of potential opportunities. For the next meeting, we have two guest
speakers, Dr. Shin’ichiro Fujio and Makoto Goto. Dr. Fujio’s talk is mainly
focusing on how archaeologists use scientific analysis from various disciplines
to the display. Dr. Goto’s talk is showing what disciplines digital humanities
manage to construct, as well as introducing his current project. Also, some of
project members, who conduct archaeological sciences and their displays, will
present their own researches. In this meeting, we would discuss about different
data-making sciences utilised in archaeological projects and the
misunderstandings that arise from these sciences different ways of codifying
and classifying the world. ---
Attendees were fewer than other last meetings, but we had various discussion. Our next meeting will be held in the autumn.
