Abstract

Rapidly evolving computer technology can play a significant role in all phases of future archaeological research. Technical trends are summarized, including hardware (data processing and storage), software (languages and data management), and data processing and entry. The utility and benefits of these new techniques are explored in relation to several current archaeological projects.
