Martin Rundkvist<p>Take, for example, the rich Viking Period graves of Birka. They are absolutely essential for research into that period. But Stolpe excavated and documented them in the 1870s and 1880s. Then the finds and bones and paper archive were not very well curated in a museum until the 1930s, when Arbman collated the information, and published it in the 1940s. Finally both versions of what these graves were like was put online ten years ago.</p><p><a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/bigdata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigdata</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/datascience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>datascience</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/vikings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vikings</span></a></p>
Martin Rundkvist<p>Now and then people from data science suggest to me that they should be able to do something interesting with big archaeological data. But there's a naïveté in their concept of "data". I always sigh and tell them that they have no idea how unstandardised our data are. Even if you could scan it all from the paper media it's on, any pattern-seeking algorithm would primarily catch the history of changing archaeological documentation practices.<br> <br><a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/bigdata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigdata</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/datascience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>datascience</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a></p>
