The alert observer will have noticed that activity on this site has more-or-less ground to a halt this Fall. The reasons for that are explained in this post on my other website: my teaching job this semester is taking up nearly all of my time and energy. This is as it should be. I'll be teaching again next semester, but the preparations won't be nearly as demanding. So I hope to have time to expend on the EWHADP again during the Winter. If the stars align, I'll find a promising undergraduate among my students who would like to gain some research experience helping me wrangle data for the site. That would be helpful.
I'm a co-author on a poster at the Midwest Archaeological Conference (going on right now) that discusses using the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA) as a bridge to link independent datasets (including EWHADP data).
Josh Wells was the lead author of the poster, which I have posted here on my academia.edu page. Other co-authors are Eric Kansa, Sarah W. Kansa, Stephen J. Yerka, David G. Anderson, Thaddeus Bissett, Kelsey Noack Meyers, and R. Carl Demuth.
As I discussed here and here, I'm a big fan of seeing what we can do to link open sources of data. It will take some doing to make it into a reality, but it will happen. And it will have a huge upside. Stay tuned!
