Working against Silence
Archaeology faces a turning point as digital technologies transform who performs archaeological labor and under what conditions. Although inequities affecting students, technicians, and Indigenous collaborators have been increasingly acknowledged, less attention has been paid to the political economy that structures these forms of work. Drawing on collaborative research with Nahua communities in Mixtla de Altamirano, Veracruz, this article examin…
Unlocking colonial records with Artificial Intelligence. Achieving the automated transcription of large-scale 16th and 17th-century Latin American historical collections
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, Spanish and Indigenous people produced millions of colonial documents in diverse calligraphic styles in Latin American territories. Accessing their rich information requires specialised palaeographic skills and often indigenous language expertise. Recent advancements in Machine Learning offer promising solutions to these challenges. This study developed two computational methods: (1) a historical document clas…
Mujeres en el Catálogo Monumental de España
La arqueología española de principios del siglo XX se caracteriza por la diversidad de iniciativas y su consolidación como disciplina científica. En este contexto, se desarrolló el proyecto del Catálogo Monumental de España, cuyo objetivo principal era la compilación del patrimonio español en una publicación. Se trata de una obra imprescindible para la investigación arqueológica, ya que incluye descripciones de yacimientos inéditos e interpretaci…
Tochan , “The House of All of Us
Mapping is an established practice by which people represent, explore, and share their understandings of geography. While cartographic products have become the dominant medium for this, there are many ways of expressing spatial knowledge, providing a rich opportunity to understand different forms in which people recreate, navigate, and understand their landscape. This research explores how Nahuas in Mixtla de Altamirano, Veracruz, Mexico, build t…
Indigenous deep mapping
Deep mapping has emerged as a means of reflecting about and contesting hegemonic forms of spatial understanding. The critical analysis of the epistemological roots of technologies such as Geographic Information Systems, and the western/Cartesian/Euclidean lens that they impose, have been at the core of the arguments to develop a Spatial Information System that might have a strong basis in humanities studies and which should consider, in a holisti…
Developing Geographically Oriented NLP Approaches to Sixteenth–Century Historical Documents
This article introduces an ongoing Digital Humanities project aimed at leveraging the benefits of Natural Language Processing, Corpus Linguistics, Machine Learning, and Spatial Analysis for advancing the computational analysis of vast historical corpora. As a case study, the project concentrates on the Relaciones Geográficas de la Nueva España (1577–1585), one of the key corpora for understanding the early colonial period of Mexico. Using a compu…
Spatial Humanities 3.0
For some time now, the field of Spatial Humanities has acknowledged the need for a system capable of the spatial exploration of historical and archaeological phenomena beyond Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This idea comes from the need to analyse holistically spatial information, including that which is not geographic (i.e. vague, symbolic and imaginary space). In addition, this need becomes more apparent when dealing with traditions that …
Placing the Pillar of Eliseg
THE LANDSCAPE CONTEXT of the early 9th-century monument known as the Pillar of Eliseg is interrogated here for the first time with GIS-based analysis and innovative spatial methodologies. Our interpretation aims to move beyond regarding the Pillar as a prominent example of early medieval monument reuse and a probable early medieval assembly site. We argue that the location and topographical context of the cross and mound facilitated the monument’…
Geoparsing, GIS, and Textual Analysis
This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a published work that appeared in final form in International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing. To access the final edited and published work see http://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/ijhac.2015.0135
Further Frontiers in GIS
Although the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has a long history in archaeology, spatial technologies have been rarely used to analyse the content of textual collections. A newly developed approach termed Geographic Text Analysis (GTA) is now allowing the semi-automated exploration of large corpora incorporating a combination of Natural Language Processing techniques, Corpus Linguistics, and GIS. In this article we explain the developm…
Mapping ‘Wordsworthshire’
Not least among many items of interest in Nathaniel Hawthorne's English Notebooks is the account of the trip the author took to the Lake District during the summer of 1855. Like most Victorian tourists travelling to the Lakes from Liverpool (where Hawthorne was stationed as the American consul), he and his family came to the region largely to recover their health. Two years of living in Liverpool, with its coal dust and damp, had taken their toll…
Archaeology in the Digital Era
On Stone Houses and the Co-Creation of Worlds and Selves
Movement is fundamental for all human activities, and as such, it comprises the essential act of weaving places into the web of landscape. Places are not so much defined by their location, their boundaries or shape, but through the flows and convergences experienced within them. Whereas places are gatherings continuously on the move, herding is embodied movement. Pastoralist societies guide animals between pastures, settlements, water sources, an…

Entendiendo la movilidad humana mediante tecnologías espaciales
Investigaciones arqueológicas, históricas y etnográficas han demostrado como los ambientes de montaña tienen una profunda influencia en las dinámicas socioculturales de las comunidades que viven en ellos y en sus áreas vecinas. El desarrollo de estas sociedades tiende a producirse en los márgenes, usualmente lejos de los centros de poder político. Esta marginación se extiende también a la circulación en estas regiones, donde las cordilleras suele…
Approaching the Landscape Dimension of the Megalithic Phenomenon in Southern Spain
Although the megalithic phenomenon in southern Iberia has received attention since the mid-nineteenth century, there has been very little attention paid to the role that megalithic structures played in the organization of prehistoric landscapes. Just as in other areas of Europe, however, southern Iberian megalithic structures must have played complex roles in the social organization of landscapes that go far beyond their use as funerary container…
