The Case for Digital Site Reports

Abstract

As ASOR looks ahead to another century of publishing booklength site reports and continues vigorously to support the thorough publication of archaeological sites, the authors, both editors of long-standing ASOR book series, recognize that a period of significant change is upon us. This change is more than simply making conventional paper books available in digital forms and extends to a fundamental rethinking of the publishing process, new ways of thinking about what constitutes a final publication, and new expectations for professional organizations, institutions, and individuals.
