We’ve just had two great papers in #CAAUK2025 Session 4 — Robert Foley on PyLithics and computer-vision for lithic analysis, and Victor Yan Kin Lee on multi-objective clustering for archaeological time series.

Next up: Linduo Li on fusing text and terrain with an LLM-powered data pipeline.

A fantastic talk from Sarah Middle with the @ads-update.bsky.social on digital twins and the ARTEMIS project — highlighting their potential to reshape archaeological workflows.

Next up: Alfredo Cortell-Nicolau with 'Sinumorph', an R package for simulating diachronic shape evolution.

That’s Session 3 at #CAAUK2025!

A great set of papers showing how modelling and simulation can illuminate political landscapes, cultural dispersal, inequality, morphology, agriculture, and rock-art networks.

Thanks for the lively discussion — now time for coffee! ☕
