In order to be considered for publication in Open Context, digital archaeological datasets must meet the following criteria:

  • The data sets must come from legally-permitted research or heritage management projects. We expect data contributors to follow accepted professional standards in research practice. The AAI reserves editorial rights to review and determine if submitted content is appropriate for posting on Open Context.
  • We take copyright law seriously and will not disseminate copyright materials without clear written permissions. Potential contributors must have dissemination rights of the intellectual property contained in any data set submitted to the AAI. Contributors must follow best ethical practice in consulting with heritage stakeholders before submitting to the AAI. Please review the Open Context terms and conditions document for more details.
  • In keeping with its mission to build open resources, the AAI requires that contributors agree to the open terms expressed in Creative Commons licenses.
