Abstract
Computer applications in archaeology have been a feature of archaeology since the 1950s. From the 1950s into the 1980s they were closely associated with quantitative methods, but since then, the increasing availability and capability of personal computers has seen a dramatic growth in use. Beyond standard office software, key application areas in archaeology include databases, geographical information systems, and data visualization. The expansion of the Internet and the World Wide Web has seen the development of new means of communicating archaeological information, such as the provision of access to online data and data archives.
