Abstract *

<p>This paper uses a participatory, art-based methodology to understand how digital and analog tools impact individuals' experience and perceptions of archaeological recording. Body mapping involves the co-creation of life-sized drawings and narratives representing individuals' lived experiences, perceptions, and meanings within their social context. With data gathered during a series of focus groups, this paper explores body mapping as a visual research method in understanding the lived experiences of archaeologists with respect to changes brought about by digital technology. </p> <p>While still ongoing, this research aims to encourage archaeologists to consider their evolving relationships with technology. Preliminary studies suggest that there are significant pedagogical, cognitive, and professional implications to consider when replacing analog with digital approaches in archaeological recording.</p> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_HoverRegion" style="background-color: white;"> <div style="line-height: 0;"> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_HoverRegion" style="background-color: white;"> <div style="line-height: 0;"> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_HoverRegion" style="background-color: white;"> <div style="line-height: 0;"> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_HoverRegion" style="background-color: white;"> <div style="line-height: 0;"> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_LiveRegion" style="background-color: white;" aria-live="assertive"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_HoverRegion" style="background-color: white;"> <div style="line-height: 0;"> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="MJX_ToolTip" style="background-color: white;"> <div> </div> </div>
