This article focuses on the role of “skeuomorphic technologies” and “skeuomorphs of practice” in the development of digital workflows in archeology, seeking to examine whether there are common trends toward skeuomorphism in our development of digital infrastructures. By considering the way in which GIS, tablet, and 3D technologies were integrated into the digital field recording at the sites of Çatalhöyük in Turkey and Kämpinge in Sweden, we argue that skeuomorphic emulation may form an essential part of the process of “controlling” “socializing” new digital technologies and ultimately transforming digital practice. Ultimately we contend that a field approach that explicitly takes into account skeuomorphism as a crucial element of transformation is more likely to encourage the development of practices, which go behind the traditional investigation paradigms. Understanding the role of skeuomorphism as a mode of socializing technology (see below) within the broader framework of the development of digital field practices can help us to critically address the process of transformation of practice and identify new methodological directions.

数字考古实践中的拟物化:进步的障碍,还是变革之轮中的重要齿轮?

本文重点关注“拟物化技术”和“实践拟物化”在考古数字化工作流程发展中的作用,试图检验在我们的数字基础设施发展中是否存在拟物化的共同趋势。通过考虑将 GIS、平板电脑和 3D 技术集成到土耳其 Çatalhöyük 和瑞典 Kämpinge 的数字现场记录中的方式,我们认为拟物模拟可能成为“控制”过程的重要组成部分。社交化”新的数字技术并最终改变数字实践。最终,我们认为,明确考虑拟物化作为转型关键要素的领域方法更有可能鼓励实践的发展,这落后于传统的调查范式。在数字领域实践发展的更广泛框架内理解拟物化作为一种​​社会化技术模式(见下文)的作用,可以帮助我们批判性地解决实践转型的过程并确定新的方法论方向。
