Archaeological Informatics

Archaeological informatics is the use of digital technologies and data management tools to enhance archaeological research. It involves collecting, storing, analyzing, and sharing information about ancient artifacts, sites, and cultures through databases, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), 3D modeling, and other software. This approach helps archaeologists interpret findings more efficiently, collaborate globally, and preserve cultural heritage. Essentially, it combines archaeology with computer science to better understand the past and make research more accurate and accessible.
