SIG-RSE, our CAA Special Interest Group on robotics, sensors, and embedded systems in archaeology, was officially approved at the CAA 2026 AGM in Vienna.

Topics range from drone survey and IoT heritage monitoring to edge computing and the ethics of autonomous systems in the field.

Join the CAA SIG-RSE — Robotics, Sensors & Embedded Systems in Archaeology

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.

Den dansk underafdeling af @CAA_int (Computer Applications in Archaeology) holder vores næste seminar på Holstebro Museum og ONLINE (gratis), 17. marts 2026:

https://dk.caa-international.org/velkommen-til-caa-dk/

Årets tema er fjerndetektering og ikke-destruktiv arkæologi. Dagen udføres i samarbejde med Luftfotoarkæologisk Center med stort fokus på resultater og konklusioner fra centerets levetid.

Tilmelding er åbent til med 3. marts.

And as a friendly reminder, we hold monthly meetings where we host amazing speakers, organize collectively-maintained projects, and discuss all things relating to scripting languages in archaeology! (we also sometimes spill out into other #DigitalArchaeology and #ComputationalArchaeology topics as well ;P)

📣 Our next session is Friday February 6 (16:00–17:00 CET (15:00–16:00 GMT / 14:00–15:00 UTC) -- dm me for a link to join the call! 🚀

👾 For those who might have missed it, earlier this month we organized the inaugural Digital Archaeology Maintainathon --- an opportunity to clean, document and revise older code together. We wrote a brief summary of the event here: https://sslarch.github.io/maintainathon/2026-recap.html

Thank you to all those who posted about this hidden labour using the #DigiArchMaintainathon tag, and to everyone else who followed along and boosted these experiences!

👾 We are very happy to have done this #DigiArchMaintainathon 👾🏺! It was a great way to connect with people and showcase the work that needs to be done in #DigitalArchaeology and #ComputationalArchaeology. Software does need constant work and so many people are doing it.

If you wish to connect with the SIG SSLA, please check out our homepage 👉 https://sslarch.github.io/, join our googlegroup or meet us at the @CAA_int in Vienna this year!

🔭 Something that always needs to be done, is documenting code. We all seem to lack behind in this task. So, why not take half an hour today to write a short documentation on one of your repositories? Just as a start? Read more about documenting code here 👉

🌐 Do you publish your code properly?

While commercial platforms like GitHub and GitLab may provide very useful collaboration features, they should not be trusted as long-term stewards of software or data. Professional archives are better suited for this. There are some options. Check out our small intro 👉 https://sslarch.github.io/maintainathon/resources#archive-your-code-in-a-long-term-repository

🤖 Continuous integration (CI) automates tasks that always need to be done after you update your codebase e.g. building a software, testing, generating documentation, or producing accessible outputs. This is great, as it ensures robust software development.

It's your first resource if you are looking for a software tool to solve your #DigitalArchaeology or #ComputationalArchaeology problem. And if you know a good one: Have a look whether it is listed there, so others might discover it! 📝 ✅
Many thanks to Zack and all the other who maintain it!
