3 Contents electronic publication and archaeology journal background developing integrated publication LEAP / LEAP II projects

4 Archaeological publishing 1900-1950 Publication seen as an integral part of archaeological excavation 1960s and 1970s Shift from exhaustive to selective publication Primary record is archive rather than the publication Today Great variation in publication policy across the discipline, and greater integration between description and interpretation PUNS report http://www.britarch.ac.uk/publications/puns/

5 Digital publication data is ‘born digital’ archaeologists want - access to data - to produce more exploratory writing - more synthetic, narrative histories that addresses concerns about dissemination and multi-vocality

6 peer-reviewed international - no chronological restrictions no print version text, data, images, VRML, QTVR, SVG, video, sound archived by Archaeology Data Service http://ads.ahds.ac.uk Internet Archaeology

9 Approach flexible, responsive – rights, commissioning content, keeping options open, no rigid template appropriate standards for interoperability and longevity - file formats, metadata, storage media and delivery systems increased editorial contact results in a flexible final publication where authors have a say in the delivery and presentation

41 LEAP II Four exemplars multi-layered e- publications (projects hosted in US institutions) with comment/debate facility http://intarch.ac.uk/leap/index.html

42 LEAP II exemplars Exemplar 1: The Shala Valley Project, Northern Albania Exemplar 2: Placing immateriality: situating the material of highland Chiriquí, Panamá Exemplar 3: The BTC Pipeline Archaeological Excavations in Azerbaijan Exemplar 4: Strategies for developing a next- generation virtual museum using close range scanning

43 Integrated publication reader works with different levels of information and explores the links between interpretation and data through a variety of interfaces information no longer required to be split across several publications explicit interrogation creates an active, ‘used’ and visible archive multiple pathways through the text into and out of archive boundaries are blurred integrating text with data, evidence with interpretation: creating a new dialectic

44 Implications shaping how projects develop shifts publication back towards data affects archaeological practice and the narratives we create
