Had a great time yesterday, so decided it was time to blog about it: vcuarchaeology3d.wordpress.com/2012/08/11/they-went-that-away-the-humanities-and-technology-that-camp-in-computational-archaeology/

WikiMiniAtlas

I can’t help but see that a lot of the stuff posted so far has to do with GIS. There was an interesting talk given at Wikimania in DC about WikiMiniAtlas that might be useful to highlight. (wikiminiatlas.org)

Also of interest to this crowd at Wikimania was discussion about preservation of indigenous language.

Developing Spatial Models that incorporate Qualitative Data

I am currently working on a project analyzing settlement patterns of African Americans on the property of the Montpelier Foundation in Orange, Virginia. My dissertation research will be looking at transitions within the community from the late antebellum up to the turn of the 20th century. The vast majority of material on Agent-Based modeling that I have seen is primarily based off of information obtained by interviews with researchers. I would like to identify historic resources that could be used in similar ways to develop higher quality spatial models of shifting settlement patterns. Does anyone have any suggestions? Projects I should look up? Things to read?

whoo-hoo

We are pleased to announce THATCamp CAA-NA, a computational archaeology-focused unconference co-sponsored by the Computer Applications in Archaeology (CAA) – North America chapter and the University of Virginia Library! THATCamp CAA-NA will be held Friday, August 10 in the Harrison-Small Special Collections Library in Charlottesville, Virginia. Registration will open Monday, April 30 and close May 31. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance as soon after May 31 as we can manage, probably no later than Friday, June 8.
