This website has its background in the Digital Time-Travel project (2007 - 2010), which was an interdisciplinary project devoted to the development of new methods for the presentation and publication of archaeological data, particularly the use and effectiveness of digital methods for the presentation of archaeological information to the public. Work involved cooperation with museums and other institutions as well as the general public to develop useful and meaningful models of past landscapes and site-contexts.  Particularly, work focused on the design of models visualizing landscape development and the construction of an interactive interface for mediation and communication of archaeological information through computer-terminals installed as part of museum displays, and through the Internet.

An off-spin of the Digital Time-Travels project will form one of the work packages of Archaeological Information in the Digital Society, financed through a framework grant by the Swedish Research Council 2013 – 2016. The work package will be launched in January 2014. Drawing upon the results of the previous research and development project this work package aims at deepening and broadening our understanding of how presentation techniques such as computer aided visualization, and digitally based mediation methods can be used in the cultural heritage field. The work will also discuss how these technologies changes the pre-conditions for mediation and information about prehistory and cultural heritage. The work package is managed as an action research study that combines development of interactive pedagogical methods, development and adaptation of appropriate presentation technologies and their contextual evaluation.
