Introducing the DAACS Research Consortium
Author(s): Jillian Galle; Fraser Neiman
Year: 2015
Summary
The DAACS Research Consortium is a novel and ambitious experiment in the use of web technologies to increase the quality and comparability of archaeological data, to promote collaboration and data sharing among diverse archaeologists, to encourage and comparative analysis and synthesis, and ultimately to advance our understanding of early modern slave societies using archaeological data. In this paper we sketch the specific strategies that DRC collaborators are developing to achieve these goals and offer a critical assessment of our progress to date.
