Telling Different Stories: innovative approaches to the publication, interpretation & archiving of linear infrastructural projects - AH/W002558/1

这是一个旨在利用考古理论和数字人文学科最新发展的项目，以便以更具创造性，雄心勃勃（因此富有成效）的方式利用当前最雄心勃勃的商业实地考察项目产生的大量考古数据;那些专注于大型线性基础设施，如HS 2和A14。其目的是开发全新的方式来接近，解释，展示和存档这些项目产生的丰富的考古信息，并通过这种方式对过去进行新的解释。具体来看，其具体目标是：1.通过揭示、批判性评估和挑战支撑大型基础设施项目的核心假设和框架，挑战和颠覆现有的大型基础设施项目的挖掘后、出版和存档商业方法。在这种情况下，线性和渐进的概念与作为一种解释活动的追踪概念相结合。2.探索新的，潜在的激进的，考古学理论，批判性制图和数字故事的发展可以用来揭示不同的途径，并通过生成的数据集，并创建一个不同类型的解释性支架的方式。3.退后一步，研究如何将考古学理论和批判性思维的新兴趋势与大规模商业实地考察的现实和迫切需要进行富有成效的对话，以使双方受益。4.开发与大规模基础设施工作产生的数据集互动的新方法;可以帮助塑造未来挖掘后和出版实践的方法，以及允许全新的考古叙述和解释出现。

This is a project that seeks to draw upon recent developments in archaeological theory and the digital humanities in order to engage in a more creative, ambitious (and therefore productive) fashion with the vast quantities of archaeological data that are generated by the most ambitious of current commercial fieldwork projects; those focused upon large-scale linear infrastructure, such as HS2 and the A14. The aim is to develop wholly news ways of approaching, interpreting, presenting and archiving the wealth of archaeological information generated by such projects, and through this, new interpretations of the past. Looking in detail, the specific aims are:1. Challenge and unsettle existing commercial approaches to the post-excavation, publication and archiving of large-scale infrastructure projects by revealing, critically evaluating and challenging the core assumptions and frameworks that underpin them. In this case ideas of linearity and progression coupled with notions of tracing as an interpretative activity. 2. Explore the ways in which new, and potentially radical, developments in archaeological theory, critical cartography and digital story-telling can be used to reveal different pathways into and through the datasets generated and create a different kind of interpretative scaffolding. 3. To step back and examine the ways in which emerging trends in archaeological theory and critical thought can be brought into productive dialogue with the realities and exigencies of large-scale commercial fieldwork to the benefit of both. 4. To develop new ways of engaging with the datasets yielded by large-scale infrastructural work; approaches that can help shape future post-excavation and publication practice as well as allow wholly new archaeological narratives and interpretations to emerge.
