Abstract:
Computer science frequently considers much of humanities and in particular archaeology “trivial”. The “hard challenges” were defined by sciences, such as physics. Yet these “soft” domains have been and are struggling with challenges that still exceed computational capabilities and that cannot be solved with current approaches. On the other hand, climatological models, remote sensing, agent modelling etc. all can benefit from archaeological data and approaches. In this paper we review how current computer science is insufficient to address the challenges posed in an archaeological context.
