This book focusses on new technologies and multi-method research designs in the field of modern
archaeology which increasingly crosses academic boundaries to investigate past
human-environmental relationships and to reconstruct palaeolandscapes. It aims at establishing
the concept of Digital Geoarcheology as a novel approach of interdisciplinary collaboration
situated at the scientific interface between classical studies geosciences and computer
sciences. Among others the book includes topics such as geographic information systems
spatiotemporal analysis remote sensing applications laser scanning digital elevation models
geophysical prospecting data fusion and 3D visualisation categorized in four major sections.
Each section is introduced by a general thematic overview and followed by case studies which
vividly illustrate the broad spectrum of potential applications and new research designs.
Mutual fields of work and common technologies are identified and discussed from different
scholarly perspectives. By stimulating knowledge transfer and fostering interdisciplinary
collaboration Digital Geoarchaeology helps generate valuable synergies and contributes to a
better understanding of ancient landscapes along with their forming processes. Chapters 1 2 6
8 and 14 are published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.
