We have two meetings this month to which visitors are warmly invited.
Tuesday 7 March 6pm
Nick Fieller (University of Sheffield)
Archaeostatistical Collaboration
starts 6pm in the Graduate Research Institute, University of Hull
(to find the GRI, come to the main entrance to the university campus
on Cottingham Road, and go round the side of the Middleton Hall.)
Nick will review applications of statistics in archaeology, considering
sampling, data collection and processing. Illustrations are taken
from projects in Egypt, Central ustralia, Melanesia and The Hebrides.
Friday 31 March 6pm
Denise Lievesley (UNESCO and RSS President)
Data Access and preservation in a Anational and international context
Ferens Building, Hull University
(next building behind GRI, so similar directions)
The talk will cover the importance of preserving and distributing data
in electronic form, the benefits to users of doing so and the related
benefits to data producers. I will discuss the barriers to data access
and ways of overcoming them, and will stress the importance of archival
systems to ensure that data remain usable over time. Given my role at
UNESCO I will put the comments I make into an international context and
speak about ways in which data access and preservation is handled in
different parts of the world.
