datastories

On a dark blue banner in white reads "A Digital Data Story". Perpendicular to that in light blue across the top reads "The Road Most Traveled: An Archaeological Survey Guide". Below that is the Open Context logo of a blue rhombus with long edge oriented up and down on the left and light blue rhombus in the same orientation to form a door next to the words "Open Context". This is above words that say "The Alexandria Archive Institute". In the center is a series of trowels in dark blue, pink, light blue, and purple that are connected via swirling dashed lines to location tear drops farther down the page. This is meant to illustrate that this data story focuses on survey.

The Road Most Traveled: An Archaeological Survey Guide

November 2, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

This exercise is best suited to those with an interest in archaeological survey, archaeological data collection, or using mindful observation skills for archaeology and daily life. Users should have a basic understanding of observation and recording methods, such as handwritten, audio, or video recording, but previous experience with archaeology or data creation is not required.

This is a composite image to advertise an event at the International Conference of Indigenous Archives, Libraries, and Museums. On a light grey background the bottom has a banner for the event includng the title, dates/times (Oklahoma City October 24-26 2023), and the theme "Honoring and elevating Indigenous Culture and Knowlege systems". Above that banner (which is red with a design in the color and a piece of art depicting a person in multiple colors with long hair), there is the Data Literacy Program Logo of a book designed by a neural network connected with nodes in light blue on dark blue, a Plus "+" sign in light blue, a tan pot with the letters PACP In black on it (the logo for the Pan American Ceramics Project), and then a photograph on the far right that is of a goat nibbling on a man's hand in a wooden enclosure referening the Early Navajo Pastoral Landscape Project

Playtest some Prototypes in Pensacola

September 19, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

The Data Literacy Program will share two new Data Stories this week at the Florida Public Archaeology Network’s (FPAN’s) Conference on Public Archaeology. And if you’re in Pensacola, you can playtest them both!

The heading image for our new Data Story 30 Days to an Article: Archaeological Inspiration for Your Writing. It includes the title in light blue across the top, the words "A Digital Data Story in White on a dark blue background on the left edge". The center area has five sticky notes with a pushpin in them with information about the Data Story. The first light blue outlined sticky note on the upper left reads "How to get started on your writing", next to a it an indigo one reads "A 31-Day calendar of writing prompts". The one on the farthest right is also in light blue and reads "Using search terms for inspiration from data". The bottom line has another indigo outlined one that reads "narrative examples from open data" next to a pink outlined one that reads "how to share work safely on social media". These sit on a white background and have the Open Context logo (two rhombii on their sides to form a book with one dark blue side--left--and one light blue side--right). Underneath that reads "The Alexandria Archive Institute". These sit together underneath the Data Story heading to it's lower right.
