AIA Award for Outstanding Work in Digital Archaeology
Digital technologies are driving important changes in archaeology.
Despite the increasing acceptance of digital technology in daily life,
however, determining how to assess digital scholarship has proved
difficult: many universities remain unsure about how to evaluate digital
work along side more traditional forms of print publication when faced
with tenure and promotion decisions. Recognizing the value of digital
scholarship, and aiming to encourage its practice, the AIA offers this
award to honor projects, groups, and individuals that deploy digital
technology in innovative ways in the realms of excavation, research,
teaching, publishing, or outreach.
Criteria for Selection
Nominations of projects and individuals are welcome. Nominations may be
made by anyone, including the project director or the principal members
of the team responsible for the digital creation. Nominations of
collaborative projects are encouraged. At least one member of the
leadership team, or any individual nominee, must be a member in good
standing of the AIA. Please submit the AIA membership number(s) with the
nomination.
Due Date for Nomination
September 15, 2013
Materials to Be Submitted
Additional Information
Because the field of digital archaeology is still nascent and the
application of digital technologies to archaeology is in constant flux,
the committee reserves the right to modify this award as the field
evolves. Furthermore, the committee also reserves the right not give
the award if no deserving project is nominated.
Questions about the award should be directed to Deanna Baker, Membership and Societies Administrator, at awards@aia.bu.edu or 617-353-9361.
