Archaeological publishing
1900-1950
Publication seen as an integral part of archaeological excavation
1960s and 1970s
Shift from exhaustive to selective publication
Primary record is archive rather than the publication
Today
Great variation in publication policy across the discipline, and greater integration between description and interpretation

appropriate standards for interoperability and longevity - file formats, metadata, storage media and delivery systems
increased editorial contact results in a flexible final publication where authors have a say in the delivery and presentationSlide10
Range of content
long and short
themed issues
methodology
fieldwork
landscape studies
artefacts

: Placing immateriality: situating the material of highland Chiriquí, Panamá
Exemplar 3
: The BTC Pipeline Archaeological Excavations in Azerbaijan
Exemplar 4
: Strategies for developing a next-generation virtual museum using close range scanningSlide43
Integrated publication
reader works with different levels of information and
explores the links between interpretation and data through a variety of interfaces
information no longer required to be split across several publications
explicit interrogation creates an active, ‘used’ and visible archive
multiple pathways through the text into and out of archive
boundaries are blurred
integrating text with data, evidence with interpretation: creating a new dialecticSlide44
Implications
shaping how projects develop
shifts publication back towards data
affects archaeological practice and the narratives we create Slide45
