For this entry into our Digital Data Stories (DDS) series on series, we’ll explore our Tutorial Series. In many ways, tutorials are what most people think of when they consider improving their data literacy. Due to this, we thought tutorials would be a great place for us to start creating data stories.

The Digital Data Stories Series
To help us organize our Data Stories the Data Literacy Program (DLP), we decided to organize the stories into seven series. We’ve mentioned this a few times and we thought it would be good to explain a bit more about what these series are and why we chose to do this.
Act 6: Publishing our stories
We had a busy spring here at the Data Literacy Program (DLP). Between publishing more articles, here on The Alexandria Archive’s News, and getting two data stories published for public use, we’ve done a lot in this second quarter of 2022. But beyond what we write about, what have we done recently?
Gabbing about Gabii: Going from Notes to Data to Narrative
This exercise is best suited to those with an interest in ceramics, the Roman Republic, or the archaeology of the Italian Peninsula. Users should have a basic understanding of archaeological data types, but little previous experience is required.
Cow-culating your data with spreadsheets and R
This exercise is best suited to those with an interest in zooarchaeology, the Neolithic, or Central European archaeology. Users should have a basic understanding of what a spreadsheet is, but little previous experience is required.
Act 5: Where were we in our story
While it feels like we just finished March 2020, take three, it’s amazing to realize that we survived March 2022. Along with that, it’s the first anniversary of the Data Literacy Program’s (DLP’s) quarterly reports. So, what have we been doing in the last few months?
