Surveying the Field: Finding Common Cause in the Three Archaeologies (2015)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Richard H. Wilshusen.

The three major employers of archaeologists in the US--the academy, the government, and cultural resource management (CRM) firms--agree on very few things. Archaeologists in each of these three groups have become increasingly specialized in particular practices: Federal, state, and tribal archaeologists specialize in planning and reviewing archaeological matters, CRM archaeologists are great at doing archaeology, and the academy considers that it is far better at thinking about archaeology and...


Surveys at Patoka Lake 1966
PROJECT US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District. US Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections, St. Louis District.

GBL provided the VCP with an electronic catalog entitled “USACE GBL Accession Inventory 11 30 09.” This catalog contained detailed information about each of the investigations within the GBL collection. Because the Patoka Lake investigations did not have individual reports, it was determined that the investigations would be separated based on the information found in the GBL catalog. Therefore, four separate Patoka Lake investigations were created based on the different worksheets within the GBL...

Sustaining Database Semantics (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Keith Kintigh.

This paper argues that the semantic content of digital databases is rarely adequately documented. It proposes a specification for what is necessary to document the semantics of a database and therefore sustain their analytical utility. It outlines an approach to documenting database semantics utilized by Digital Antiquity’s repository, tDAR. It concludes with a discussion of how the metadata documentation used by tDAR can be used to facilitate the integration of data across databases employing...


Sustaining the Digital Archaeological Record (2010)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Keith Kintigh. Jeffrey Altschul.

We conceptualized the anticipated costs of running the Center for Digital Antiquity and the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) as either fixed or variable and as either present or future costs. Fixed costs, such as the salary of the Executive Director, are those that are essentially independent of the volume of data that come into the digital repository or the amount of use of the archive. The variable costs are those that are expected to increase with the volume of data, such as computer...

Dyess Air Force Base was inventoried by Mariah Associates, Inc. between April 4 and 13, 1994 as part of the Air Combat Command Cold War study for the on-going Department of Defense Legacy Program. From this research and inventory, two resources were determined to be important in their relationship to Dyess Air Force Base’s Cold War mission and history. These resources are both mission oriented and one is the direct result of research and development in the 1980s.
