Computer Applications and quantitative methods in Archaeology

Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) is an organisation bringing together archaeologists, mathematicians, and computer scientists. Its mission is to encourage and facilitate dialogue between these disciplines, to provide an overview of the present state of the discipline, and to stimulate discussion to progress the field.

The CAA is invested in ensuring free access to cultural heritage data while maintaining privacy, copyright and security issues. For members of the CAA it is thereby of high relevance that common data structures are adhered to to ensure accessibility and usability. Important questions to answer thereby include among others: access regulation, maintenance, cost, provenance and retrievability - in particular considering size, distribution and type of data.
To this end, the CAA is interested in influencing and contributing to the common European data space for cultural heritage (CEDCHE, Europeana) - related to policy areas Culture, Information Society. Also related to the Data Act (awaiting approval).

In addition, the CAA has a strong focus on education and teaching - in particular for developing joint curriculums between archaeologists and computer scientists. In dedicated working groups, key material has been developed and discussed. This relates to the European strategy for universities, respectively to the activities of the CULT (culture and education) committee.
