“ … archaeology urgently
needs to enter a new phase
of renewal and openness.
And it needs to give itself
new goals and new
challenges that go beyond
research and include
education, the debate on the
profession and, obviously,
communication. ”
Giuliano De Felice
Archaeologists who make writing and talking about
archaeology online part of their daily job

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND?
General agreement on the importance of an online presence
It’s a growing phenomenon, everyone wants to join in
Willingness to raise to the challenge
Lack of coordination and long term planning
Lack of specific knowledge about online tools
High mortality rate of new projects

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND?
A lot has changed, still is, and in the end
we’re a hopeful bunch…
