The CAA Special Interest Group on Robotics, Sensors, and Embedded Systems in Archaeology (SIG-RSE) is a new community hub for archaeologists and technologists interested in hardware automation, embedded systems, and sensors in archaeological practice, from drone survey and robotic total stations to IoT heritage monitoring, LiDAR, and edge computing in the field. SIG-RSE will promote critical, ethical, and interdisciplinary engagement with these rapidly evolving technologies, and will serve as a platform for collaboration, open-source sharing, workshops, and conference sessions within the CAA community. Fill in this form to join the mailing list and stay informed about SIG activities. Membership is open to all with an interest in this area.
We presented #CiVers at #CAA2026 in Vienna (Mar 31–Apr 4) with a poster! 🎉
🔍 By combining #WebArchiving change detection, and #metadata extraction, CiVers enables reliable citation of versioned web pages using persistent identifiers (PIDs).
🥅 Our goal: make web-based #research resources citable, traceable, and reproducible.
Let’s connect! 🤲

Just back from the 53rd CAA conference in Vienna! 🏛️ A packed week – I presented the KIŠIB project, co-organised an archaeogaming session with Aris Politopoulos (10 talks, consistently high quality!), and was impressed by new approaches to automatic cuneiform translation.
The organisation was excellent, and the ice breaker was hard to beat. New blog post with my full report:https://itsmoreofacomment.com/2026/04/10/caa-2026-in-vienna-a-conference-report/
Last week at #CAA2026 in Vienna, Sebastian Hageneuer presented the database architecture behind the KIŠIB project – Digital Corpus of Ancient West Asian Seals and Sealings.
The talk showed how we link artefacts, images, and texts within a single relational structure – connecting physical seals, their impressions on clay tablets, and the cuneiform inscriptions they accompany.
