"Immediate Realities: an anthropology of computer visualisation in
archaeology" by Jonathan Bateman has just been published in Issue 8 of
Internet Archaeology
http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue8/bateman_index.html
As part of our current theme on Visualisation and Representation in
Archaeology, Jonathan assesses archaeological computer visualisations in
the light of a range of anthropological, art historical, and cultural
critiques, and examines just how these images relate to the wider visual
language that archaeologists use. He argues that until we, as
archaeologists, consider the cultural products of our discipline with
the same sophistication with which we examine the products of other
cultures (past and present), we will struggle to use such images to
their full potential.
