New media mechanisms for Communication
• Transmedia (storytelling across different platforms )– Timeline– Video– Audio– Text – Host and multiple outputs – feed out into browsers, mobile handsets,
televisions, geolocated datasets• Personal Learning Networks
– People organise their learning datasets with different tools• Eg. Video based learners use Vimeo or Youtube• Audio – use Audioboo or iTunes• Mix and match is not only allowed but expected
• Archaeologists as guides in this new media landscape ie the editors and registrars mentioned earlier

expert in’ (http://www.archimuse.com/mw2010/bios/au_220013117.html)

Conclusions• Communicate – role for professional archaeologists
– Datasets- collaborations in digital data publication– Education- local heritage practitioners– Journals, books, monographs, magazines – contributors– Heritage media– primary producers and collaborators with local groups– We need multiple strands of publication for the full range of heritage media that we
produce (TRANSMEDIA)– We need print media, video, audio, digital
– Strong editorial input required regardless of media involved– Strong Registration Required
• Benefits– New media – increased participation, mainstreaming of archaeology– This is a very exciting time full of potential– The means of production is affordable for everybody - for local and global publication
