Ongoing research

FAIR.rdm

The aim of the FAIR.rdm project is to provide conceptual and technical support for research data management (RDM) in the SPP 2143 projects. The project does this concretely by offering advice to the research projects in all phases of the research data life cycle and by supporting or carrying out the professional and technical curation, preservation and publication of archaeological data. The project is a collaboration between the DCH, which specializes in humanities RDM, and AAArC, which focuses on discipline-specific data stewardship. Zur Projektseite…

CA23141 - Managing Artificial Intelligence in Archaeology (MAIA)

The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications within archaeology has brought incredible opportunities but also significant challenges. Only a few years ago, Machine Learning algorithms and Neural Networks were concepts unknown to archaeologists; now, AI has been applied to many archaeological fields, from the detection of archaeological sites, the recognition and reassembling of archaeological pottery, the mining of text from historical documents and epigraphs, the study of human remains, the identification of murals and graffiti, and even robotics.

COST Action Arkwork

As nations and the EU are making considerable investments in technologies, infrastructures and standards for all aspects of working with archaeological knowledge, critical understanding of how this knowledge is produced and used remains fragmentary. This COST Action aims to overcome this fragmentation by forming a transdisciplinary network that brings together the knowledge from individual research projects, national initiatives and EU projects (e.g. CARARE, LoCloud, Europeana Cloud, ARIADNE, DARIAH) in the field of archaeological knowledge production and use.
