An advertisement for an up panel at the SHA conference on historical archaeology. The left has the emblem of the conference which includes a boat sailing by land with an oak tree for oakland. And above it says "portals to the past" and below it "gateways to the future".

Alternative Field Schools and Data Literacy

December 7, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

The Data Literacy Program’s (DLP’s) Paulina Przystupa, alongside The Alexandria Archive Institute’s Executive Director, Sarah Whitcher Kansa, will share their experiences with alternative archaeological field schools at the annual Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA) conference in January. If you happen to be in Oakland, CA we hope you can catch them!

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.

On the Road Again with Best Practices for Digital Scholarship

November 5, 2021 by Sarah Kansa

Two weeks from now, I will board a plane and venture out into the big, wide world for the first time in nearly two years. The last place I flew back in February of 2020 was to Tempe to chat about FAIR data in archaeology with the folks at Digital Antiquity.
