With new media transcoding analogue publication, all publication will increasingly reside in digital form. Anticipating this shift, we explore the implications of all kinds of digital authorship and publication - pdf, multimedia, wikis, blogs (image, text, video), hypertext, mashups - to augment the collegial ideal of rapid and free distribution of ideas.

Here are some highlights:

Matt Edgeworth: Acts of Discovery (currently underway)

Christine Finn : Jacquetta Hawkes

Cornelius Holtorf : The Portrayal of Archaeology in Contemporary Popular Culture

Alessandra Lopez y Royo : ReConstructing and RePresenting dance: Exploring the dance/archaeology conjunction

These are major features in our e-publication project at SOFTbooks@chiasme.com

Also from 2003 we have run blogs on all things archaeological:
