MOSAICdata

Data management and processing in archaeology Archaeology is a discipline that produces more and more data in many forms, whether from fieldwork or research. By its nature, archaeology works on incomplete and contriving data, but the development of digital tools now make it possible to consider applying our questions to larger quantities of variables and information, particularly through LOD. The MOSAICdata Summer School aims to bring together PhD candidates and researchers to discuss the management of this data and the tools available to process it. [Read More]

Applications are open to researchers and young researchers (doctoral and post-doctoral), as well as to all archaeology professionals. Although an interest in data processing and analysis is expected from participants, a thorough knowledge of the methodology or software is not required.

This summerschool will last six days during which several data management and processing methods, in different fields, will be illustrated and implemented using the Rstudio software.

As most of our participants are unfamiliar to R, we collected some helpfull tutorials. Prior starting to explore R, installing R is mandatory. Additionally, R Studio needs to be installed as we will work with R Studio during the course. R: The R Project for Statistical Computing R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS.
