E-CURATORS plans to work on 6 case studies blah blah blah...

Archaeology Data Service (ADS)

Insight on the Archaeology Data Service at the time of planning the fieldwork visit there (due for 17-20 December 2018) is based on:

  • The experience and past knowledge of its activities by members of the research team
  • Information online, mostly on the ADS website, and in publications listed there and found through searching for ADS and key members of its team on Google Scholar
  • Email communications with Julian Richards on the visit, active areas of relevant ADS activity, and kinds of information to be collected (mid-late November 2018)

This memo outlines areas of interest for E-CURATORS in ADS, elaborations of our research questions based on what ADS does and plans, and implications for our research instruments and methods - how we plan to actually conduct the fieldwork, the qualitative interviewing questions, document/data collection priorities, etc.

Major ADS activities of interest:
