Christopher Witmore received his MA in landscape
archaeology from the University of Sheffield and is a
PhD Candidate in classical archaeology with the
department of Classics and the Archaeology Center at
Stanford University. He is also senior studio
practitioner and project manager with the
Metamedia Lab at
Stanford University. His research interests cluster
around archaeological thinking, practice, materiality
and landscape, media theory, critical aspects of new
media, and Mediterranean archaeology. He is currently
completing his PhD dissertation, Multiple field
approaches in the Mediterranean. Revisiting the
Argolid Exploration Project. A reassessment of
fieldwork in archaeology, the dissertation compliments
recent attempts to put theory into practice by the
interpretive school of fieldwork in archaeology. The
dissertation works toward a
symmetrical archaeology where meaning is reconfigured
within imbroglios of humans, materials and media
through the integration of new (i.e. digital)
technologies as modes of articulation and engagement
with landscape and materiality.
