A Research Stay at Home

This spring I’ve had the opportunity to go on a research stay to the University of Sydney in Australia. What started as a simple email to an archaeologist who works on Pacific island archaeology, because of my interest in one of his books, turned into the idea that we could collaborate and share research methodologies while also presenting my work to a new audience and talk with students hoping to study abroad, all while being able to visit home for the first time since 2022.

Digital or computational archaeology – an “anxiety discourse”?

Working interdisciplinarily is both exciting and challenging, as I’ve experienced firsthand in DTUs and various projects. Recently, my colleagues and I (we are from different disciplines) debated whether we practice digital or computational archaeology. This confusion led me to explore the history of “one of the hottest fields in the galaxy of disciplines focusing on the study of the past.”
