Archaeological Data Reuse in Action: Three FAIR Examples in tDAR

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The FAIR Principles for Data Stewardship asserts that data should be Findable, Accessible, and Reusable. Only by digitally preserving, efficiently curating, and ethically sharing data and information can we better understand the complex convergence of forces acting on humans and their societies across time and space. To this end, the Center for Digital Antiquity (CDA) advocates for the FAIR Principles to be implemented as the “industry standard” guiding all archaeological data management and reuse efforts. This poster highlights how CDA applies the FAIR Principles in its digital repository, The Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR), focusing on the reuse strategies, statistics, and successes of three exemplary collections: the Department of the Air Force (DAF), the Colorado Projectile Point Database, and the Digital Archive of Huhugam Archaeology (DAHA).
