Digital Archaeology Bern – Ancient West Asia

For the archaeology and philology of Ancient West Asia, metadata standards, ontological data modelling, linked open data (LOD), and crowdsourcing open new holistic research approaches by building bridges between archaeological, epigraphic, pictorial, and ecological sources as well as between specialised scientific disciplines. Training in computational and digital methods and the methodological exchange with neighbouring fields and the overarching Digital Humanities increasingly gained importance in recent years and started to impact networks of scientific communities and academic education.
The hybrid conference brings together Archaeologists, Philologists, and Digital Humanists to present their state-of-the-art research and discuss the future of archaeological and philological studies within the broader framework of the Digital Humanities.
