aspect of the pervasive nature of computer visualisation and
interfaces with archaeology and historical disciplines.
Other themes of long-standing interest to researchers and practitioners include:
§ Archaeological computing methods and techniques within the Cultural
Resource Management (CRM) environment – Submissions on current
computing practice and method are particularly welcome from commercial
archaeology companies, museum professionals, heritage managers, local
authority officers or other bodies working within CRM.
§ Pattern recognition – Finding patterns within archaeological data,
site patterning, image recognition, etc.

archaeological theory within the computing environment e.g.
post-processual approaches to archaeological computing.
