Archaeography is a photoblog started in 2004 by Michael Shanks, a Classics professor at Stanford. Since the project began, around 75 new media experts, archaeologists, and photographers have contributed posts. Each post contains at least one photograph, and is accompanied by descriptions of the depicted scene in varying degrees of detail. Some posts link to other blogs where a project is explored more in depth. This blog explores connections between photography and archaeology, following the assertion that we are all archaeologists in some way, and that photography is inherently archaeological. It aims to question how we document events, what we leave out, what we choose to include. For some viewers the tone may be a bit too clouded in the abstract, but overall it is a beautiful site that has potential to appeal to a lot of people.
