Abstract

Since the explicit callaboration of biological and physical scientists with archaeologists started in the late 1930s, the discourse on the nature of this collaboration has been intense.The question of the relative roles of the specialist scientist and the archaeologist in the callaboration, and the training and experience of both in the use of scientific techniques of recording and analysis is still not resolved, as we shall indicate by our experience in the Çatalhöy?k Archeological Project inTurkey.In this paper, we shall expand this discourse to examine the more recent collaboration Of archeologists with computer graphics specialists as archaeologists increasingly incorporate Cutting-edge and not-so-cutting-edge digital technologies into their practice.
