Of Mycenaean Men: The Public Archaeology Book Club

June 12, 2025 by Paulina Przystupa

This exercise is best suited to those with an interest in defining data, understanding archaeological data, or discussing the impacts of archaeological data on modern society. Users should have some familiarity with group discussion or book clubs, but previous experience with data or archaeology is not required.

This is a collage photo meant to illustrate/give an image for some of the folks quoted in this article. There is a woman with grey hair on the right with her thumb pointing at the banner in the middle indicating the conference that all the people were attending. There is a man with grey hair and glasses gesturing at a keyboard above that logo. A person with long brown hair and arms wide gesturing at the logo below them. And a man on the far right side right next to a stopwatch who has short brown hair and glasses.

Recap of the AAI at the SAAs

June 5, 2025 by Paulina Przystupa

Did you miss us at the 2025 Society for American Archaeology meeting (SAAs) in Denver? No worries! In this article, we recap all the cool things that the Alexandria Archive Institute (AAI), Open Context, and the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA) got up to at our booth and around the meetings.

This is a screen capture of the Table of Contents within the Spring 2025 Reference Guide. It is organized with the major subjects of the guide on the left with their corresponding umber on the far right. Major sections are in black with more specific Data Story or Data Story shorts in blue. It lists two series (Tutorial and Aggregative) and the five data stories in those two series.

The Spring 2025 Reference Guide

May 15, 2025 by Paulina Przystupa

We’re happy to announce the Data Literacy Program’s (DLP’s) Spring 2025 Reference Guide. Formerly known as the Table of Contents, this Version 3.0 of that document provides short introductions for all our Digital Data Stories.

This is a decorative image advertising that the Alexandria Archive Institute will be at the Society for American Archaeology meetings in Denver CO. It includes the dates of the conference 23-27 April 2025 and then has the logo for the meeting as well as for all the Alexandria archive Institute Projects that will be there. That includes Open Context, FAIR + Care Cultural Heritage Network, NADAC (Networking Archaeological data and communities), DINAA (Digital Index of North American Archaeology), and the Data Literacy Program.

See us at the 2025 Denver SAAs!

April 16, 2025 by Paulina Przystupa

Catch the Alexandria Archive Institute at the 90th annual Society for American Archaeology meeting (aka the SAAs)! If you’ll be attending in Denver, CO April 23-27, we hope you can listen to one of our papers, bring questions to our forum and poster, or stop by our booth to say hi!

This header illustrates the Data Story Tome Reader: The AAI Reads Comcis Book Club. The image consists of "A Digital Data Story" on the side of the image in white on a blue background. There is rainbow-colored image of a neural-network0-like book adapted from an Adobe Stock image that is the logo for the AAI Reads Series at the center of the image. Beneath this book, are the words AAI READS: Comics. Paulina (a person with long hair, an undercut on the visible side, earrings, glasses wearing a sleeveless shirt) sits on the left looking out at the audience looking as if to speak with Meghan (a person with bangs, long hair, glasses, wearing a loose turtle neck) on the left smiling and looking out at the audience as if to speak.

Tome Reader: The AAI Reads Comics Book Club

April 1, 2025 by Paulina Przystupa

This exercise is best suited to those with an interest in reading archaeology-related comics, exploring how to use visuals in archaeology, or discussing the impacts of archaeological data on current comic books. Users should have some familiarity with group discussion or book clubs, but previous experience with data, archaeology, or comics is not required.

This header illustrates the Data Story "TO DISRUPT AND DELIGHT: TEACHING ARCHAEOLOGY THROUGH NARRATIVE". The image consists of "A Digital Data Story" on the side of the image in white on a blue background. There is a set of adobe or stone walls that are tinged blue that look like the should come together but htere's a larger cut taken out of them. In that empty space sits the title of the Data Story and the logo for Open Context/the Alexandria Archive institute. The missing section of the image was cut out representing a "disruption" to the site caused by a cut through the wall caused looting that then filled with sand.

To Disrupt and Delight: Teaching Archaeology Through Narrative

March 19, 2025 by Paulina Przystupa

This exercise is best suited to those with an interest in teaching with narrative, archaeological data literacy, and critically engaging with published articles. Users should have some familiarity with academic language and an interest in teaching and learning, but previous experience with data literacy and archaeology is not required.
