New articles by AAI staff

June 26, 2026 by Paulina Przystupa

The end of June has been a great time for articles by Alexandria Archive Institute (AAI) staff, with new free to read and share publications in the open access journals Advances in Archaeological Practice and Internet Archaeology. 

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.

On the right is blue text on a white background listing: The Tutorial Series; The Creative Series; The Dialogues Series; The Aggregative Series; The Solo Series (which is in a light blue rounded box); The Interactive Series; The Publication Series with each series on its own row; to the left is a grey box with text primarily in black. The text reads “Reading data involves understanding what data is, and what aspects of the world it represents. Working with data involves acquiring, cleaning, and managing it. Analyzing data involves filtering, sorting, aggregating, comparing, and performing other such analytic operations on it. Arguing with data involves using data to support a larger narrative intended to communicate a message to a particular audience. Bhargava, Rahul, et al. “Data murals: Using the arts to build data literacy.” The Journal of Community Informatics 12.3 (2016). Throughout this document, data stories are aligned to show how they can be used to reinforce Reading, Working, Analyzing, and Arguing with data.” Reading is in dark blue matching a circular book spine icon to the left of the text that is in white lines on the blue background; Working is in light blue matching a tabbed planner-style circular icon in white lines on the same light blue; Analyzing is in lavender corresponding to a circular computer icon in white lines on the same lavender; and Arguing is in pink corresponding to a circular text books icon in white lines

Solo, Steady, and Structured Data Literacy

May 25, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

For this Digital Data Stories (DDS) Series on Series entry, we’re exploring our Solo Series. While we generally practice archaeology as a group activity, there are times when we need to practice our archaeological data literacy skills solo. Alone in a museum basement pondering a potsherd, staring into the spreadsheet middle distance, or trekking a […]
