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>
