DigiDeath: Public Archaeologies of Digital Mortality – the 6th University of Chester Archaeology Student Conference, 27-28 January 2021

Registration website

Mortuary archaeology and public archaeology are two of our fields of expertise among the archaeology and heritage staff at the University of Chester. So how can archaeologists contribute to understandings of mortality past and present in the Digital Age? How do we both teach and research death via digital environments and engage increasingly diverse audiences with mortuary archaeology?

Syngergising student learning and original academic research by students in the context of a public-facing event, on Wednesday 27 Jan and Thursday 28 Jan, the 6th University of Chester Archaeology Student Conference took place on Microsoft Teams and Twitter on the theme: DigiDeath: Public Archaoelogies of Digital Mortality.
