The book postulates that archaeological computing has become an integral part of the interpretive process for inquiring and disseminating the past and includes:<\/p>\n<p>12 theoretically informed chapters on a variety of computational methodologies used in archaeology and heritage<br \/>\nan introduction by the editors (Costas Papadopoulos, Angeliki Chrysanthi and myself)<br \/>\na commentary by Jeremy Huggett<br \/>\nThe book will be out by the end of March and those of you coming to the CAA2012 keep an eye for it at the Archaeopress stand! Many thanks to all those \u2013 both authors and reviewers- who have contributed to this!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At last year&#8217;s Theoretical Archaeology Group a session titled &#8216;Thinking beyond the tool&#8217; was held, chaired by the university&#8217;s Costas Papadopoulos, Angeliki Chrysanthi and Patricia Murrieta Flores.
