'This publication would work well both as an introduction and as a reference tool for specialists who want to explore history and current trends of visualization in archaeology. Despite the absence of any mention of free software applications, the volume could also work as a manual for university classes...' - Alessandro Di Ludovico (2024): Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'Overall, Sanders is an effective advocate for the future of digital heritage and uses this book to contextualize the evolution of virtual approaches and what they can offer the discipline. His writing style is clear, and though there are times when he over-summarizes his work, this will be useful for those who only plan to read parts of the monograph.' - David M. Wheeler (2025), Rhea Classical ReviewMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
