This paper uses a participatory, art-based methodology to understand how digital and analog tools impact individuals' experience of archaeological recording. empower archaeologists to consider the physical and mental impact of analog and digital recording on the experience of recording archaeology. With data gathered during a series of focus groups, this paper explores body mapping as a visual research method in understanding the lived experiences of archaeologists with respect to changes brought about by digital technology. Body mapping involves the co-creation of life-sized drawings and narratives representing individuals' lived experiences, perceptions and meanings within their social context. While still ongoing, this research aims to encourage archaeologists to consider their evolving relationships with technology. Preliminary studies suggest that there are significant pedagogical, cognitive, and professional implications to consider when removing or replacing analog with digital recording in archaeological methodology. |
