Archaeotech is your source for the technology career archaeologists rely on every day, and news about the future of archaeology and technology.
Today's episode starts with a brief discussion of the state of digital site recording technology and what the future holds. Then Chris and Paul discuss the article "Pencils and Pixels..." which discusses the coming transition from traditional archaeological field illustration to digital drawing methods and how they can be integrated into a born-digital future.

Webby and Boone talk about the advantages, disadvantages, and everything else about going digital. Comments are appreciated.
