Came across this as I'm wandering the web...
According to the publisher's website:
Mobilizing the Past is a collection of 20 articles that explore the use
and impact of mobile digital technology in archaeological field
practice. The detailed case studies present in this volume range from
drones in the Andes to iPads at Pompeii, digital workflows in the
American Southwest, and examples of how bespoke, DIY, and commercial
software provide solutions and craft novel challenges for field
archaeologists. The range of projects and contexts ensures that
Mobilizing the Past for a Digital Future is far more than a
state-of-the-field manual or technical handbook. Instead, the
contributors embrace the growing spirit of critique present in digital
archaeology. This critical edge, backed by real projects, systems, and
experiences, gives the book lasting value as both a glimpse into present
practices as well as the anxieties and enthusiasm associated with the
most recent generation of mobile digital tools.
You can
buy the book for $20 at Amazon, but why not just download the book or selected chapters for
free?
Go to the website, where there is a Table of Contents with each downloadable chapter including some supplementary resources. (E.g., videos of presentations.) Nothing specifically biblical, but chapters on Cyprus and Caesarea Maritima. Really remarkable advances in imaging and data collection.
