Digging with Python: Making Archaeology More Powerful, One Script at a Time | Python Glasgow

Ever wondered how Python could be used beyond tech startups and data science? Join us for a fascinating talk that explores how this accessible programming language is being used to support archaeology — from managing excavation data to visualising ancient landscapes. This talk is not just for developers. In fact, it's especially for archaeologists, heritage professionals, museum staff, students, and anyone curious about how coding can help manage, interpret, and share archaeological information. Our speaker, Juan Palomeque-Gonzalez, holds degrees in both Archaeology and Computing. He’ll share practical, real-world examples of how simple Python scripts can make everyday archaeological work easier — automating repetitive tasks, handling messy data, and unlocking new insights. Whether you're a developer curious about interdisciplinary applications, or an archaeologist wondering how to get started with code, this session will have something for you.
