Viking VR is a Virtual Reality exhibit through which viewers can experience the sights and sounds of 9th Century encampment. Created as part major museum exhibition, was developed by an interdisciplinary team consisting artists, archaeologists, curators researchers. In this paper, approaches to design authentic, informative compelling experiences for Cultural Heritage contexts are discussed. We also explore issues surrounding interaction long-term deployment in museums discuss challenges...

Abstract
This article presents the key results of a major survey carried out by NEARCH project on public perception archaeology and heritage across Europe. The analysis focuses three main points significance for contemporary archaeological practice. first is image its definition in general public. second concerns values that represents third social expectations placed archaeologists archaeology. clearly indicates there significant expectation Europeans should work comprehensively broad range areas,...
The Archaeology Data Service (ADS) is an archive working at a national level in the UK, ensuring that archaeologists have access to high quality and dependable digital resources, including openly licensed legacy data for reuse. ADS acts as metadata aggregator archaeological held by larger heritage agencies smaller regional organizations participates international aggregation infrastructure projects such ARIADNE, which allows users resources many countries from single interface. Large-scale...
The barrow cemetery at Heath Wood, Derbyshire, is the only known Viking cremation in British Isles. It dates to late ninth century and associated with over-wintering of Great Army nearby Repton AD 873-4. Only cremated remains three humans a few animals are still available for research. Using strontium content isotope ratios these people animals-a horse, dog possible pig-this paper investigates individuals' residential origins. results demonstrate that one adults non-adult compatible local...

The aim of the is to use faceted classification and natural language processing create an advanced infrastructure for archaeological research. aims integrate over 1 x 10(6) structured database records referring sites monuments UK, with information extracted from semi-structured grey literature reports, unstructured antiquarian journal accounts, single browser interface. has illuminated variable level vocabulary...
ABSTRACT In 2016 the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) was 20 years old. Since its birth ADS has had to respond rapid changes in technology, as well major cultural and organizational external operating environment, from which a sustainable business model for digital preservation emerged. This article will take retrospective look at challenges that have been faced review current future priorities those seeking establish repositories. Digital open access research data are now much higher up...
Archaeologists regularly deal with large and diverse data sets, which are frequently the only record of excavated destroyed archaeological sites. They need digital research infrastructures to preserve provide access this fragile develop tools manipulate analyse it. Digital is also increasing in quantity size, often born digital, but there a high degree fragmentation difficulty accessing an integrated way. There small growing number national discipline-specific infrastructures, have been few...

One of the major problems British prehistory has been contrast between mass Late Bronze Age metalwork and rarity contemporary settlements. The Berkshire river gravels are one area in which a high proportion bronze objects is recorded apparent isolation. With increasing recognition pottery, however, it possible to identify domestic finds this period among artefacts from gravel pits around Reading. Part gap settlement record also closed by excavation two sites on Downs, earthwork enclosure at...

The lay within naturally defended area higher ground, partially surrounded by marshes bordered River Trent on its western side. It is considerably larger than 873–4 previously excavated Repton, Derbyshire, lacks earthwork defences identified there. Several thousand individuals overwintered in camp, including...
