Beyond Archiving: Synthesizing Data with tDAR (2015)
DOCUMENT Full-Text adam brin. Leigh Anne Ellison.

Archaeological projects generate abundant data that is often underutilized in research and analyses beyond the life of the project. Although some projects curate their data, they often do not make those data widely available, accessible, or easy to aggregate at comparable levels for additional research. Discipline specific digital repositories and data publishing platforms (e.g. tDAR, ADS, Open Context) are beginning to address problems related to the access and the utility of legacy databases...
