Digital archaeology should exist to assist us in the performance of archaeology as a whole. It should not be a secret knowledge, nor a distinct school of thought, but rather simply seen as archaeology done well, using all of the tools available to and in better recovering, understanding and presenting the past.
This expresses the idea that digital tools should be acting as extensions of thought rather than replacements. It connects to my final project because GIS and digital mapping help interpret archaeological data more effectively without detaching from human analysis.
