| "Envisioning the Digital Archaeological Record" |
|
Abstract Archaelogy has seen an explosion of Digital Information, with >50,000 field projects/year and 1000s of databases Primary archaeological data is now "born digital". There are an absence of trusted Repositories, with few institutions capable of long-term data curation. Standard work flows do not move digital data into trusted repositories. As a consequence archaeological Digital Data is quite fragile, and suffers from the media degradation,software obsolescence, and the loss of data semantics (metadata). The Digital Archaeological Record is a project which seeks to address these issues and preserve archaeological data and metadate in a stable format, and which addresses social considerations such as provision of credit, access policies such as original investigator's reasonable claims and archaeological ethics on data sharing, and protection of sensitive information.
