Using Computers in Archaeology: Towards Virtual Pasts by Gary Lock provides an accessible introduction to the growing role of computing and information technology in archaeological research. Written by a leading archaeological computing specialist, the book explores how computers can be used in surveying, excavation, data management, spatial analysis, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), interpretation, and the presentation of archaeological information. Combining theoretical discussion with practical examples, it offers valuable insights into the development of digital methods within archaeology and remains a useful reference for students, researchers, and professionals interested in archaeological computing and landscape analysis. Condition: Good overall condition. Binding remains sound and secure, and all pages are complete and fully readable. Slight foxing is present to the page edges. Some pages show light waviness and minor creasing consistent with previous damp exposure, but there is no impact on legibility. Covers display minor handling and shelf wear. A solid reading and reference copy.…

Today, archaeologists are spending more and more time examining the past with the aid of computers. How does this increased dependence on technology affect the theory and practice of archaeology?
Using Computers in Archaeology is a comprehensive review of computer applications in archaeology from the archaeologist's perspective. The book deals with all aspects of the discipline, from survey and excavation, to museums and education. Discussion covers the theoretical aspects of computer applications, with particular reference to GIS and the analysis of data, but technical jargon is kept to a minimum.
With numerous illustrations, case-studies and examples, Using Computers in Archaeology is a timely introduction to this increasingly important area of archaeology, catering both for the student and the experienced archaeologist.
