ARKWORK brings you up-to-date knowledge on

digital archaeological practices by providing
training for early career investigators, organizing
events, and publishing research findings for
stakeholders involved in making, regulating,
preserving, managing and using archaeological

Currently both the European countries and the

EU are making considerable investments in
technologies, infrastructures and standards for all
aspects of working with archaeological knowledge.
