Archaeology and the Image Colleen Morgan
Event details
Archaeology has a long, complex and fascinating entanglement with photography, a relationship that continues into the digital age. From calotypes to 3D models, the lens highlights and distorts, reflecting changes in archaeological practice and larger cultural shifts.
Join Colleen Morgan of the University of York as she examines the very beginnings of archaeological photography through to the most cutting edge technology available for recording the past.
This event is hosted by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society.
