Our models of and modes of exploring the ancient world are rapidly changing.  Digital reconstructions, 3-D imaging techniques and software, integrated multiple-source imagery, and other phenomenal new techniques are making visible the ancient world and its sites in ever expanding and innovative ways.

Future generations of students and scholars have key roles to play in continuing to develop new tools and expand existing ones into critical tools for our ongoing examination of historical sites and the cultures that built them.
