The Fall 2022 Data Stories Table of Contents!

What are Artober and ArchInk?
Similar to other thematic months, like MerMay, or artistic creative endeavors such as the 100 Days project, Artober is a limited-duration, thematic-inspiration, art project. For archaeologists, we have ArchInk and this year the AAI will be hosting a data-driven version!

Demographics and data stories
While we’ve mentioned our non-fiction book club, Of Mycenaean Men, we’re also preparing A Pun Goes Here: A Fiction Book Club. A Pun Goes Here will have a similar structure as Of Mycenaean Men, but will bring together a collection of 12 works of fiction to cultivate data literacy in archaeology.
