Digital Archaeology

Digital archaeology is the study and recovery of information from digital forms, such as websites, databases, and digital files, which often contain traces of past activities and cultures. This interdisciplinary field combines techniques from traditional archaeology with computer science and digital forensics to uncover, analyze, and preserve digital artifacts. It aims to understand how technology has shaped human behavior and social structures, providing insights into contemporary society and its historical context. As digital records can deteriorate or be lost, digital archaeology plays a crucial role in safeguarding our digital heritage for future generations.
