Archaeology in the Digital Era: Papers from the 40th Annual Conference of Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA), Southampton, 26–29 March 2012 (2nd Edition), edited by Graeme Earl and colleagues, presents a comprehensive and forward-looking exploration of how digital technologies are transforming archaeological research, practice, and interpretation. Assembled from the proceedings of the prestigious CAA 2012 conference, this volume captures the cutting-edge innovations in computational archaeology—from 3D modeling, GIS, and remote sensing, to digital curation, data visualization, and open-access methodologies. It reflects the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of the field, where archaeology intersects with computer science, data analytics, heritage management, and even artificial intelligence. The book showcases a wide range of case studies and theoretical discussions from international contributors, emphasizing both technical advancement and critical reflection on the role of digital tools in shaping archaeological narratives and accessibility. By documenting these developments, this collection serves as a vital reference point for researchers, students, and practitioners eager to engage with the evolving landscape of digital archaeology.
