Computational archaeology describes computer-based analytical methods for the study of long-term human behaviour and behavioural evolution. As with other sub-disciplines that have prefixed 'computational' to their name (e.g., computational biology, computational physics and computational sociology), the term is reserved for (generally mathematical) methods that could not realistically be performed without the aid of a computer.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Archäoinformatik ist eine spezialisierte Disziplin, die komplexe Forschungsprobleme der Archäologie mittels moderner Informationstechnik verstehen und lösen will. Archäoinformatik bildet die Schnittstelle zwischen Archäologie und Informatik in gleicher Weise, wie bspw. die Geoinformatik, Bioinformatik, Wirtschaftsinformatik, Medieninformatik und Umweltinformatik für ihre Disziplinen. Wie bei der Informatik selbst kann sinnvoll zwischen zwei Komponenten unterschieden werden: Die theoretische Archäoinformatik ist Grundlagenforschung. Sie befasst sich mit Struktur, Repräsentation und Analyse archäologischer Daten, Beschreibung und Interpretation von Mustern und Prozessen sowie Entwicklung und Prüfung von mathematisch-statistischen Verfahren zur Wissensgewinnung in der Archäologie. Dies geschieht auf den Maßstäben der individuellen Fundstelle (englisch intrasite analysis) und der archäologischen Fundlandschaft beziehungsweise Siedlungskammer. Die angewandte oder praktische Archäoinformatik stellt den realen Bezug zum Fundmaterial her. Sie befasst sich mit der Entwicklung neuer und Nutzung etablierter Software in der archäologischen Forschung und Lehre sowie der öffentlichen Arbeit, Denkmalpflege und in den Museen (z. B. Datenbanken, Geoinformationssysteme (GIS), Virtuelle Realität). Der Begriff Archäoinformatik wurde 2000 in dieser Bedeutung erstmals in einer deutschsprachigen Publikation verwendet. (de)
  • Computational archaeology describes computer-based analytical methods for the study of long-term human behaviour and behavioural evolution. As with other sub-disciplines that have prefixed 'computational' to their name (e.g., computational biology, computational physics and computational sociology), the term is reserved for (generally mathematical) methods that could not realistically be performed without the aid of a computer. Computational archaeology may include the use of geographical information systems (GIS), especially when applied to spatial analyses such as viewshed analysis and least-cost path analysis as these approaches are sufficiently computationally complex that they are extremely difficult if not impossible to implement without the processing power of a computer. Likewise, some forms of statistical and mathematical modelling, and the computer simulation of human behaviour and using software tools such as Swarm or Repast would also be impossible to calculate without computational aid. The application of a variety of other forms of complex and bespoke software to solve archaeological problems, such as human perception and movement within built environments using software such as University College London's Space Syntax program, also falls under the term 'computational archaeology'. The acquisition, documentation and analysis of archaeological finds at excavations and in museums is an important field having pottery analysis as one of the major topics. In this area 3D-acquisition techniques like structured light scanning (SLS), photogrammetric methods like "structure from motion" (SfM), computed tomography as well as their combinations provide large data-sets of numerous objects for digital pottery research. These techniques are increasingly integrated into the in-situ workflow of excavations. The Austrian subproject of the Corpus vasorum antiquorum (CVA) is seminal for digital research on finds within museums. Computational archaeology is also known as "archaeological informatics" (Burenhult 2002, Huggett and Ross 2004) or "archaeoinformatics" (sometimes abbreviated as "AI", but not to be confused with artificial intelligence).
