Digital archaeology is always in a state of becoming. How could it be otherwise? And so, I offer up to you what we’ve managed to put together for the Open Digital Archaeology Textbook Environment ODATE as a perpetual beta, never finished, always open to further refinement, expansion, pruning, growth. I hope that you will take […]
I was pleased to find the following note in my email Thursday last from the AIA…. Previous winners of the award may be found here. Speaking for everyone on the ODATE team, we are honoured to join their company! Earlier projects that have been honoured are becoming part of the entire ecosystem of digital archaeology […]
The Open Digital Archaeology Textbook Environment is a collaborative writing project led by myself, Neha Gupta, Michael Carter, and Beth Compton. (See earlier posts on this project here). We recognize that this is a pretty big topic to tackle. We would like to invite friends and allies to become co-authors with us. Contact us by […]
“Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible.” ― Terry Pratchett, […]
As the fall academic term approaches, and we get closer to version 1.0 of the Open Digital Archaeology Text (ODATE), I thought I would share the plethora of Jupyter Notebooks we’ve put together to support the work. (A video showing the whole ODATE project is over here on youtube). The text of ODATE still has some […]
Last month I presented at the Computer Applications in Archaeology Conference in Tübingen. I was in #s1 (full TAGS archive here) on ‘creative disruption’ in digital archaeology. Below, my slides and the speaking notes from my presentation. https://twitter.com/GingeryGamer/status/976041814250672128 slides: http://shawngraham.github.io/presentations/caa.html#/ 1.1. first of all – see Katherine Cook’s Twitter Conference Paper because it is a much better […]
First of all, the support of Steve Zweibel of CUNY and Andrew Pullin from Carleton’s Computer Science department has been above and beyond the call of duty, and I owe them a case (if not several) of beer. So below I offer some observations on rolling out our own DHBox at Carleton for my HIST3814o […]
I’m no Spielberg. But I did a little demo video this morning showing our textbook+dhbox in action, as well as a short tour through writing with Bookdown. ODATE in action: Bookdown:
https://twitter.com/electricarchaeo/status/842138318867451904 I tweeted the other day that I have problems with ‘slow’ archaeology. Here’s a quick post to try to outline some of the issues I have. It draws on some things I’ve written before, both public and private. My thoughts below are piecemeal and incomplete, and probably full of non-sequiturs. Caveat lector. In the […]
We’re currently writing the very first draft of our integrated DHBox virtual-machine-and-textbook for digital archaeology. It’s aimed at the same crowd as a regular intro-to-archaeology text, that is, first or second year students with little digital grounding. It won’t cover everyone’s wishlist for digital archaeology, but it will with care be a solid foundation for […]
