Carleton has an annual ‘academic retreat’, which is happening this weekend. I’m not sure what, precisely, occurs there, but I’ve been asked to talk about things digital/history/archaeological. In the wake of the recent SAA #blogarch session, and in advance of the upcoming special issue in Internet Archaeology on blogging archaeology, I thought I’d talk about one aspect of what I found when I set out to map the shape of ‘roman archaeology’ on the web.  It’s an update to what I did in 2011, for the #blogarch session at that year’s SAAs (you can read what I thought then here.)

I give you, ‘Shouting into the Void? Social Media and the Construction of Cultural Heritage Knowledge Online’
