Gary Lock

In the 1980s Lock became involved in computational archaeology, working on a database for Danebury, an iron age hillfort in Hampshire which was excavated under the direction of Barry Cunliffe.The Danebury Trust (2003) The Danebury Excavations Digital Archive [data-set]. York: Archaeology Data Service [distributor] https://doi.org/10.5284/1000352 In 1987 he was co-author of Computer Archaeology in the Shire Archaeology series. Interest in computational archaeology and prehistoric hillforts are also evidenced in more recent work, for example Using computers in archaeology: towards virtual pasts (2003) and his contribution to a project to create a comprehensive database of prehistoric hillforts in the British Isles, the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland (launched online in 2017).{{Cite web|url=http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2017-06-23-online-hillforts-atlas-maps-all-4147-britain-and-ireland-first-time|title=Online hillforts atlas maps all 4,147 in Britain and Ireland for the first time|date=23 June 2017|publisher=University of Oxford|language=en|access-date=2017-07-13}}
