NOB: Data Update

Rebecca Barbanell

Summary Of Project

The current method of searching for archaeological information in file systems or relying on the director is inefficient, time-consuming, and interferes with archaeologists’ productivity in their core research. To optimize the research process, maximize accessibility, and minimize costs, the proposed approach is to streamline workflow and provide a user-friendly dashboard for archaeologists to work effectively.

Concerns

Data processing, transferring, and organizing

  • Once I fish out the data I need out of .gpkg, I will create a new .gpkg and implement SQlite repository.
    • Outreach/Research: Emailed Professor Ben Marwick of UW about his research in archaeology and ROpenSci, and other packaging methods he has been conducting over open data and reproducible analysis. As these are future options, if prototype gets approved for further use.

Concerns

Interviewing dig team/ survey

Top Features:

  • Dashboard focus: Structure 8
    • Key features:
      • Small finds with images
      • Geo-chemical analysis with sample point
      • Grid
      • Drawings of different phases of the structure

Road-Blocks

projection

  • Structure 8 is angled at 25 degrees
  • The site chose to project the grid at a 25 degree angle for better calculations while on site (they are survey pointed this way).
  • Road block on figure out how to project it correctly
