Martin Rundkvist<p>Now and then people from data science suggest to me that they should be able to do something interesting with big archaeological data. But there's a naïveté in their concept of "data". I always sigh and tell them that they have no idea how unstandardised our data are. Even if you could scan it all from the paper media it's on, any pattern-seeking algorithm would primarily catch the history of changing archaeological documentation practices.<br> <br><a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/bigdata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigdata</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/datascience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>datascience</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a></p>
