Paulina Przystupa is bringing #archaeology #dataliteracy instructional materials to the #oer commons! Here's an example of free teaching materials for you to adapt and reuse: https://oercommons.org/courses/cow-culating-your-data-with-spreadsheets-and-r Many more such resources are on their […]

Researchers in #archaeology have worked for many decades to analyze large numbers of #radiocarbon dates from sites across the world. The P3K14C dataset developed by Darcy Bird and colleagues has aggregated and organized over a 166,000 of these dates. See […]

Here's a recent publication in the Journal of Field Archaeology that uses "Ivan Illich’s concept of conviviality to highlight the enriching character of collaborative work". https://doi.org/10.1080/00934690.2025.2528471 Caraher and Pettegrew apply the concept of conviviality to #OpenData […]

Do you care about #context? Have you ever wanted to geek out about why #persistent #identifiers (#pids) matter in #archaeology ? Look no further than this video where our postdoctoral fellow Dr. Paulina Przystupa leads an interview exploring naming, identity, provenance, and contextual […]

Want to join a learning community for professional development in #data skills for #archaeology? Check out this opportunity led by our postdoctoral fellow Dr. Paulina Przystupa: https://alexandriaarchive.org/2025/07/18/pilot-applications-open-for-the-archaeological-data-literacy-practicum/

#archaeology #dataReuse is in the air! Here's another example of a paper, authored by James Newhard and colleagues, that cites and reuses shared #OpenData: https://doi.org/10.3390/heritage8080298 Their paper reuses data from "The Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey" (Pettegrew et al 2021): […]

We just saw this paper by Néhémie Strupler that cites #OpenData about surveys in #archaeology, including the "Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project I: Pedestrian Survey" that we published back in 2013. It's a great example of reusing older data for new research! https://doi.org/10.1002/arp.1964

We had a few hours of downtime today because we needed to fix a third-party user interface component that suddenly lost hosting. The updates we made hopefully resolves the issue. Sorry for the interruption in service! #archaeology #OpenData

Paulina Przystupa wrote up a quick guide to finding images resources you can reuse for instruction in #archaeology and #culturalheritage. Go take a look! https://alexandriaarchive.org/2025/02/06/where-to-find-reusable-images/ #dataliteracy #OpenData

A quick update. We had a brief downtime because of some server-side software updates and new SSL certificate installation. We're backup with lots of #OpenData in #archaeology to use for research and learning!

Interested in teaching #archaeology and some #dataliteracy ? Need something short and too the point? Check out these recent updates from Paulina Przystupa! https://alexandriaarchive.org/2025/01/24/introducing-data-story-shorts/

Just making sure we have updated a full copy of the data we publish. Internationally. Just in case. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14728229 #OpenData #archaeology

Here's our 2024 overview, with a focus just on our #datacuration efforts. We'll share 2024 retrospectives about our work in professional development and #dataethics shortly. It's been another active year, and we're grateful to our data contributors and our funders for their support and […]

We're busy working on publishing data documenting decades of excavations at Tall al-Umayri (Jordan). It's a multi-period site with most excavated contexts documenting Late Bronze Age through Islamic periods. This link shows figurines […]

Made a small update, publishing excavation data and associated documentation from the 2024 field season at Poggio Civitate (south of Siena, Italy). Here's a map of the new records (and click on the "Item Records" tab to see individual excavation contexts and artifacts) […]

A quick test of this "bridge" to BlueSky set up. Does this #Etruscan ivory (or bone) plaque show up over on that other social media platform? https://opencontext.org/media/6eed2231-a6c1-447e-75b4-2ae2e10452b6 #archaeology

OK. Open Context is now also on BlueSky thanks to the Bridgy Fed for BlueSky. https://bsky.app/profile/opencontext.hcommons.social.ap.brid.gy #archaeology #OpenData #scholarlycoms
