L’enfant, le Smartphone et le préhistorien

Abstract

A generation has passed since the publication of the article “classes de préhistoire” (Gouletquer 1993). During all these years, digital techniques have exploded, offering surprising possibilities in all fields of archaeological research, from the recording of basic data to the presentation of results and their popularization. However, a certain naivety remains in the conception and philosophy of scientific diffusion, sweetening what makes the originality and grandeur of our profession, the rooting in the reality of our most archaic curiosity, the pleasure of discovering in the mud the materials with which we build worlds in constant evolution. It is this primary reality that we must transmit at the same time as the relativity of our certitudes, because such anchors in reality and the creativity they generate will be increasingly necessary for future generations bathed in stereotyped responses and ready-made ideas.
