Archaeological Publication Systems: Which route to take? A compass for addressing future development

Published:11 December 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

The recent diffusion of new formats of archaeological publication systems results from ad hoc solutions conceived and realized for serving specific communication needs. These new formats are customized for facilitating the fruition of specific archaeological information and can be tailored and structured for hosting datasets and results. Unlike standard publications, they do not represent the final result of the investigation but rather a dynamic public space in which different interpretations can be revised and formulated. A review of the available online publication systems for Culture Heritage, with a focus on the publication systems the author worked with, can help define their potential advantages and flaws and steer the design and development of further advancements.
