The aim of the LEAP projects was to publish multi-layered e-publications and develop and link them to associated digital archives. The original LEAP project was funded by the AHRC while the LEAP II, A Trans-Atlantic LEAP, was supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This final map project is part of a 2011 LEAP II project "Placing immateriality: situating the material of highland Chiriquí" by Karen Holberg. The files contained in this record include an .mxd map project and an image of the...


Culture Change and Shifting Populations in Central Northern Mexico (1982)

Curating and Preserving Digital Archaeological Data: A Guide to Good Practice (Northwest Anthropological Conference) (2016)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Leigh Anne Ellison. Jodi Reeves Eyre. adam brin.

Archaeologists generate large numbers of digital materials during the course of field, laboratory, and records investigations. Maps, photographs, data analysis, and reports are often produced digitally. Good curation of digital data means it can be discovered and accessed, and preserving these materials means they are accessible for future use. In many ways the managing, curating and preserving digital materials involves similar steps as those taken with physical artifacts, samples, and paper...

Current Approaches to the Analysis and Interpretation of Small Lithic Sites in the Northeast (2008)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Christina Rieth. Robert J. Hasenstab. Timothy L. Binzen. Edward V. Curtin. Kerry L. Nelson. Jessica Schreyer. Niels R. Rinehart. Brian D. Jones. Philip A. Perazio. David J. Bernstein. Michael J. Lenardi. Sara A. Grills. Brian Grills. Laurie Rush. Amy Wood. Margaret Schulz. Cynthia M. Blakemore. Nancy Herter. Douglas Mackey. Patricia E. Miller. Nina Versaggi. Christopher D. Hohman. Kurt W. Carr.

Small lithic sites (or scatters) represent one of the most common site types identified in the Northeast. These sites are commonly identified in both upland and lowland settings and represent areas where resource extraction, processing, and collection often take place. Some of these small sites may also contain residual evidence of overnight or temporary lodging and meal preparation activities (Piles and Wilcox 1978; Means 1999; Rieth 2003a; Shen 2001). In this way, these small sites offer a...


Current developments in cyber-infrastructure in European archaeology (2016)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Julian Richards. Franco Niccolucci.

This is a pdf copy of the PPT slides used for this presentation in the SAA symposium. In Europe, as in North America, there has been little attention to the long term issues of digital data curation, with consequent risks of catastrophic data loss. In recent years, however, there has been mounting pressure on government agencies and universities to ensure that the research they fund, and the underlying data, are properly managed, and are available ‘Open Access’. Consequently, several European...


Current Northeast Paleoethnobotany II (2008)
DOCUMENT Full-Text John P. Hart. Mark A. McConaughy. Nancy Asch Sidell. Elizabeth Chilton. Ninian R. Stein. Tonya Largy. E. Pierre Morenon. Katy Serpa. Timothy C. Messner. Ruth Dickau. Eleanora A.

Jack Rossen. John Edward Terrell.

In northeastern North America our understandings of prehistoric human–plant relationships, the subject of paleoethnobotany, continue to change as more samples are taken, examined, and compared to extant records. The results of these analyses are no longer relegated to the appendices of archaeological site reports, but constitute important contributions to our understandings of Native American lifeways in the Northeast, on their own and in combination with other lines of evidence. This volume is...
