The archaeology has today significant challenges in the fields of technology, society and education. A number of important changes in these fields make urgent a deep discussion between all archaeologists. The result of this discussion will be very important for the development of archeology in the next decades. The result of this discussion will result in a greater or wors adequacy of
the archeology to modern times, the twenty-first century.
He has been in the field of technology in which have been the most important challenges for archeology. Among these challenges, we can mention the following:
1- The challenge of a intensive implementation of the Global Positioning System, GPS, in archaeological research. Also, the challenge of a regular use of satellite photography (Google Earth) for recognition spatial and topographic.
2- The challenge of a use of digital models of 3D excavation, using a series of special computational softwares. These models were used to represent computationally various aspects of archaeological excavations: for example, the various stratum and levels of stratigraphy in an excavation unit.
3- The challenge of a popularization of new absolute dating methods in archaeological research, among others, the AMS radiocarbon dating, the method of dating obsidian hydration, etc.
4- The challenge of a frequent use of precision instruments for recording the topographic characteristics of the different areas of archaeological research activities.
Moreover, in the field of education and society, the biggest challenge in archeology is in the field of SOCIALIZATION of archaeological knowledge, in an instructive, pedagogical and educational for people of all ages. In this context, the greatest danger is an extreme complexity of language archaeological, understandable only by archaeologists and distant from educational needs or society. In this sense, the major technological advances in archeology could have an adverse effect on the relationship between archeology and the public.
In few words, the challenges of archeology in the fields of technology, society and education is connect with the problem of how archeology can adapt to the changes of the actual society, for example, the technological advances, although taking account educational and social needs.
In my opinion, the major problems of development of archeology in the fields of technology, society and education is connect with little effort to link these areas. The solution therefore is to open more dialogue between actors involved: archaeologists, communities, state and society.

Excellent Miguel, except fo rthe following pieces which are confusing.
ResponderEliminarWhat do you mean by, "He has been in the field of technology in which have been the most important challenges for archeology." Who is "He"?
And this, "for example, the technological advances, although taking account educational and social needs"
You get 2 points.
