Digital Dig Team is the first digital archaeological recording system in the world to also allow data to be instantly available online.
But what does that really mean?
We record everything straight from the trenches on smartphones and tablets. As soon as we press ‘send’, this information is available on the project website. Digital Dig Team is also hooked up to all of our videos and social networks, so you can can follow the team in real time, or come back later and to catch up on all the action. Think of Digital Dig Team as a museum in your pocket, where objects go on display as soon as they come out of the ground.
This new system is going to help archaeologists to do our jobs better, and also enable us to involve the public even more in our work. Digital Dig Team is the future of fieldwork – and we’ll be using it on all of our sites, as well as partner projects.
You can see everything that happened, everything we found, and all the amazing people who joined our team in the trenches as well as from home. Don’t forget to explore the Open Data – that’s where you will see the all the excavation data, as well as 3D models, finds, and reports from past seasons. Enjoy!
