Grand challenges: Grand opportunities
نویسنده
چکیده
This document is intended to stimulate debate and discussion in preparation of the Escience Scoping Study Expert Seminar for archaeology and the historic environment. It is a tentative, partial and therefore controversial delineation of the challenges and opportunities which the E-science agenda presents archaeologists and the historic environment sector. It proposes areas of specific activity that the sector may benefit from addressing. It also delineates a series of barriers – some of which are beyond the scope of archaeology to resolve.
