Act 10: A Series of Stories

July 6, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

The end of the second quarter of 2023 means we’re more than 50% done with the year. Oh… and that it’s a great time to catch y’all up on the work done by the Data Literacy Program (DLP)! With so much going on in the first quarter, we kept up the pace, getting even more […]

On the left hand side is a perpendicular banner that reads in white "A Digital Data Story" and below that in smaller light blue lettering "Of Mycenaean Men: Public Archaeology Book Club". Both text are on a dark blue background. The rest of the image is a faded version o a book that looks like a neural network with many connecting lines and nodes; with a rainbow coloring in the lines and a dark blue to black fade in the background that is the AAI Reads Logo. On top of these spattered about are Mycenaean masks that look like a person smirking and swords that look like they're stabbing into the pages of the book. The image associates this Data Story with the previous blog series and signals it's the testing phase through it's more kooky imagery.

Calling all Of Mycenaean Men

June 30, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

Do you love reading? Do you love book clubs or recommendation lists? Do you have an interest in archaeology? If you said “yes” to at least one of these, we’d love your feedback on the first theme of our upcoming data story, Of Mycenaean Men: Public Archaeology Book Club!

On a dark blue banner on the left side in white reads "Creative Series" oriented vertically. In light blue, perpendicular to the banner on a white background says "30 days to an article: archaeological inspiration for your writing". Below that is a photo of a broken disk tinted dark blue with some pieces missing and etchings on it. Along the edge of the disc in the bottom right is the word orientation in pink. Below that is a piece of animal bone tinted blue digitally. Next to the bone is a large pound (#) sign in light blue. This relates to the smaller pound (#) sign below that reads "This Data Story contains no images of human remains." Below these images reads in light blue coloring reads "It’s All in the Wrist (Bones): Archaeological Data as Artistic Inspiration".

The Creativity Clarion Call

April 27, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

Do you love making things? Do you love building good writing habits or exercising your painting skills based on a theme? And do you have an interest in archaeology? If you said “yes” to at least the first question, we’d love to have you test our Creative Series Data Stories!

Three light blue boats with words over them with their bows pointing to the right (port). The farthest left boat reads "What is a data story?" Below that in a paragraph it reads "It’s a narrative given to a particular set of archaeological data, arranged to highlight an event or particular purpose". The center boat reads "What are archaeological data?". Below that in a paragraph reads "They’re a series of observations generated from archaeological inquiry that underpin a particular interpretation of the past". The farthest right boat reads "Why use this format?" Below that in a paragraph reads "Humans use stories to make sense of the world and stories contribute to a re-humanizing approach to archaeological data". The boats have dashed linse leaving them going off the image and they sit on a blue tinged version of a map of the San Francisco Bay.

The Voyage of the Data Story

April 13, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

You may have heard that the Alexandria Archive Institute / Open Context (AAI/OC) team sailed into the San Francisco Bay to attend the Society for California Archaeology meetings. What ye mateys may not have heard is what stories our sailors spun once they were on dry land.

April 7, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

We finished the first quarter of 2023 on March 31st! That means it’s time to update y’all on the work done by the Data Literacy Program (DLP). After a flurry of fun finishing 2022, we tidied up a bit after being blown around. During that time, our regular readers have seen a flurry of AAI […]
