Tuna Kalayci, Karsten Lambers and Victor Klinkenberg (eds), Digital Archaeology: Promises and Impasses, [Analecta Praehistorica Leidensia 51], Sidestone Press, Leiden, 2023

Digital archaeology is now a well-established field of archaeology but is proving to be as promising as it is complex, due to its constant evolution.It is on this dichotomy that the discussion of the volume "Digital Archaeology: Promises and Impasses", published in 2023 by Sidestone Press as part of the series Analecta Praehistorica Leidensia (APL), is based.The authors, mainly (but not exclusively) from the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University, provide an in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with the use of digital technologies in archaeology.What stands out in this volume, edited by Tuna Kalyci, Karsten Lambers and Victor Klinkenberg, is a collection of essays that explore the application of digital technologies in archaeological research and cultural heritage management.By focusing on the challenges and "unfulfilled promises" of digital archaeology, the authors help to promote the responsible use of technologies and encourage further developments in the field.The book provides an opportunity to critically examine the current state of the art of Digital Archaeology, highlighting not only the successes of this field but also its limitations.
