The Problem of Archaeological Data with Dr. Peter McKeague - Ep 122 The ArchaeoTech Podcast
-
- Science
Every year archaeologists create a wealth of data through fieldwork and research
that is essential to our understanding and interpretation of the past. Despite
the geographic character of much of that record, we consistently fail to realise
its potential. Site plans and detailed survey data are routinely locked into the
pages of PDF reports. As a result plans fossilised in print cannot easily be
reused alongside other datasets to improve our understanding of the past. There
is often no consistency in how mapped data can be combined across projects to
map the archaeological landscape. We need to wake up to opportunities digital
transformation presents us as archaeologists in presenting our data to a wide
audience. Dr. Peter McKeague joins us to talk about this problem.
