The Open Digital Archaeology Textbook Environment: An Integrated Open Source Approach for Teaching Method and Practice in Digital Archaeology

Digital archaeology as a subfield rests upon the creative use of primarily open-source and/or open-access materials to archive, reuse, visualize, analyze and communicate archaeological data.

Digital archaeology encourages:

1. Innovative and critical use of open access data
2. Development of digital tools that facilitate linkages and analysis across varied digital sources

e-Textbook is an integrated, cloud-based digital exploratory laboratory of multiple cloud computing tools with teaching materials that instructors can use ‘out-of-the-box’ with a single click, or to remix as circumstances dictate.
