Digital, computer-aided methods are currently changing archaeological research by offering innovative tools for approaching old and new research questions. The workshop brings together contributions that explore the potential of technologies such as mixed reality, serious gaming, motion capture and others for archaeological research. The aim of the workshop is to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and discuss how digital methods can enrich the methodological repertoire of archaeology and lead to transformative insights.
