Oracle Bones

The heading image for "It’s All in the Wrist (Bones): Archaeological Data as Artistic Inspiration". 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 information about the Data Story. The first light blue outlined sticky note on the upper left reads "How to get started using data creatively", 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 "searching open context for project 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 take part in collaborative creativity projects". These sit on a white background and have the Open Context logo (two rhombii on their sides to form a door opening with one dark blue side--left--and one light blue side--right) Underneath that reads "The Alexandria Archive Institute". These sit together underneath the Digital Data Story' title.

It’s All in the Wrist (Bones): Archaeological Data as Artistic Inspiration

July 20, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

This exercise is best suited to those with an interest in public archaeology, the dynamics of ritual behavior, or the archaeology of central China. Users should have a basic understanding of archaeological data types, but little previous experience with archaeology is required.

On a dark blue banner on the left side in white reads "Creative Series" oriented vertically. In light blue, perpendicular to the banner on a white background says "30 days to an article: archaeological inspiration for your writing". Below that is a photo of a broken disk tinted dark blue with some pieces missing and etchings on it. Along the edge of the disc in the bottom right is the word orientation in pink. Below that is a piece of animal bone tinted blue digitally. Next to the bone is a large pound (#) sign in light blue. This relates to the smaller pound (#) sign below that reads "This Data Story contains no images of human remains." Below these images reads in light blue coloring reads "It’s All in the Wrist (Bones): Archaeological Data as Artistic Inspiration".

The Creativity Clarion Call

April 27, 2023 by Paulina Przystupa

Do you love making things? Do you love building good writing habits or exercising your painting skills based on a theme? And do you have an interest in archaeology? If you said “yes” to at least the first question, we’d love to have you test our Creative Series Data Stories!
