<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">The last decade has seen an explosion in the application of digital methods in the humanities from LiDAR scanning of
archaeological features, 3D models for visualizing artefacts, to network science applications for exploring interaction and mobility, and even textual data. Despite many cross-disciplinary successes, the reality remains that many of these new tools of analysis
are borrowed from other disciplines – computer science, sociology, physics, and/or ecology – highlighting the need for building cross-disciplinary bridges. This is especially true for historians and archaeologists working diachronically across large geographic
areas and time periods, with incomplete and fragmentary data requiring thinking outside the box. This conference aims to do just that, with a focus on recent and current work conducted on the east Mediterranean and the ancient Near East.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">By bringing together scholars from a wide range of fields and academic disciplines, our goal is to engage in friendly
and informal dialogue on the application of digital methods for studying networks and complexity in past societies. In addition to the two days of talks, we also offer a series of hands-on workshops in the two days leading up to the conference, through which
you can further develop your skills and broaden your digital horizons. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
