The Secretary’s Report to Congress on the Federal Archeology Program documents the archeological resource management and stewardship activities carried out by Federal agencies between FY2004 and FY2007. The Departmental Consulting Archeologist prepares the report on behalf of the Secretary on the basis of information provided by over two dozen Federal agencies that conduct, fund, or require archeological activities and investigations. The data in the FY2004-2007 report convey a sense of...
Good Digital Curation: Sharing and Preserving Archaeological Data as Part of Your Regular Workflow (2016)
Archaeology is awash in digital data collected as part of surveys, excavations, laboratory analyses, and comparative studies. Sophisticated statistical analyses, spatial studies, contextual comparisons, a variety of scanning technologies, and other contemporary methods and techniques both use and generate complex and detailed digital archaeological data. Digital data are easier to duplicate, reanalyze, share, and preserve if they are curated properly. However, digital data curation differs in...
The Hidden Costs of Archaeology (2017)
Archaeologists have realized for a long time that in the struggle to fund field work, working on publications and the cost of publishing archaeological results are often not covered. With the increase in digital recording and digital publishing this problem is not solved. On the contrary, it is exacerbated by a number of additional tasks and responsibilities. These range from a changing publication model, where open access is becoming increasingly important, and journals request payment to make...
Management and Storage of 3D Data (2021)
The challenge of managing 3D data for long-term preservation is one that many repository managers are grappling with as the technologies for creating 3D products become more accessible. This chapter aims to discuss the unique features of 3D data management and how repository managers are currently wrestling with 3D. Discussion of current data management standards are placed alongside responses collected through an international informational survey of 3D data managers and creators in the winter...

Synthesizing Legacy Data : Using tDAR’s Data Integration Tool (2015)
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 different granularities 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...
