17³Ô¹ÏIN THE FIELD: 2023 FIELDWORK UPDATES

Virtual Archaeology Initiative: @ASOR_Research is now on TikTok

Thanks to the Membership & Outreach Committee, 17³Ô¹Ïlaunched the Virtual Archaeology Initiative this summer. One of the purposes of this initiative is to allow people who cannot or would not be able to participate in actual excavations to feel as if they are still can. The goal is to create digital assets that illustrate or teach various steps involved in the archaeological process. Students who received 2023 fieldwork scholarships have volunteered to document their experiences in the field. These videos will be appearing over the next couple of month’s onÌýÌýand also eventually on ASOR’sÌý. If you are interested in contributing to the Virtual Archaeology Initiative and having your fieldwork videos on ASOR’s TikTok, please emailÌýMarta Ostovich.
