ABSTRACT

To say that computers are fundamental tools in Polish academic research, and archaeology in particular, is untrue. Indeed, although computers may be present in the inventory of available research tools this does not necessarily mean that they are utilized effectively. However, the manner in which computers are used in research procedures can reveal the level of consideration that has been given, as well as the level of expertise available, towards making maximum use of their potential. In this chapter we appraise the state of computer applications in published Polish archaeological studies and assess their status.
