Blown away by the quality of the papers at #CAAUK2025 today!
Some favourites:
- Simulating Late Muisca Geopolitical Patterns @ehmalatesta.bsky.social
- Exploring AI for Archaeological Record Digitisation @alientalks.bsky.social
Many foods for thoughts! Next stop: @caaint.bsky.social in Vienna
Congratulations to Santiago Tuflas-Corzén, winner of the #CAAUK2025 Masters Award 🏆 for his paper “Settlement Hierarchy, Coalescence, and Centrality in Iron Age Societies of North-Western Iberia”!
That’s a wrap on #CAAUK2025!
A huge thanks to the Cambridge team for organising & hosting such a fantastic two days of digital archaeology — it's been a brilliant conference.
Safe travels home, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
#CAAUK #DigitalArchaeology
Now on the final talk of Session 4 at #CAAUK2025!
Our very own Alphaeus Lien-Talks is closing the session with work on AI for digitising archaeological archives and building robust, accessible datasets for future research.
#DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK
We’ve just had two great papers in #CAAUK2025 Session 4 — Robert Foley on PyLithics and computer-vision for lithic analysis, and Victor Yan Kin Lee on multi-objective clustering for archaeological time series.
Next up: Linduo Li on fusing text and terrain with an LLM-powered data pipeline.
Thank you kindly, Hélène! It’s been a pleasure talking about this at #CAAUK2025
A fantastic talk from Sarah Middle with the @ads-update.bsky.social on digital twins and the ARTEMIS project — highlighting their potential to reshape archaeological workflows.
Next up: Alfredo Cortell-Nicolau with 'Sinumorph', an R package for simulating diachronic shape evolution.
#CAAUK2025
Session 4 at #CAAUK2025 is underway!
We're exploring new digital horizons — from interactive geophysical storytelling and heritage digital twins to AI-driven simulations and computer vision in archaeology.
First up -- Dushyant Naresh on communicating geophysics through interactive storytelling!
That’s Session 3 at #CAAUK2025!
A great set of papers showing how modelling and simulation can illuminate political landscapes, cultural dispersal, inequality, morphology, agriculture, and rock-art networks.
Thanks for the lively discussion — now time for coffee! ☕
#CAAUK #ModellingThePast
Now on the final talk of Session 3 at #CAAUK2025!
Following work on inequality, morphology and agriculture, Shriya Gautam is closing the session with her work on spatial networks as part of the Speaking Archaeologically project.
#DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK #ModellingThePast
We’re into the final stretch of Session 3 at #CAAUK2025!
We’ve heard Adrian Timpson & Simon Carrignon on inequality modelling and Doudou Cao on body-size change in ancient China — now Anastasia Nikulina is presenting her work on modelling Mediterranean agriculture.
#DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK
Midway through Session 3 at #CAAUK2025!
We’ve now heard Eduardo Herrera Malatesta on modelling Muisca geopolitical dynamics and Alexes Mes on modelling cultural trait dispersal 📊
Next up, Modelling Change in Inequality!
#DigitalArchaeology #CAAUK #ComputationalArchaeology #ModellingThePast
Session 3 begins!
We’re diving into Modelling the Past with Santiago Tuflas-Corzén’s paper on settlement hierarchy, coalescence & centrality in Iron Age NW Iberia — kicking off a full session of computational modelling.
#CAAUK2025 #DigitalArchaeology #Archaeology
Good Morning - it's Day 2 of #CAAUK2025!
Today we’re diving into modelling the past and exploring new digital horizons — grab a coffee and join us for Session 3 at 09:30 ☕
