@sarahalang Thanks for this! If you CTRL+H 'history' with 'archaeology', it reads almost as well, though we have a slightly longer tradition (starting in the 50s) and a more distant relationship to text-centric Digital Humanities.

Will be a very handy citation when trying to communicate that no, I'm not talking about 'big data'!

Great insights on computational history that translate well to #ComputationalArchaeology , especially thinking about biases in our digital data (something I've been doing a lot recently).

At the ESTER-project we're looking for two #PostDocs and one #PhD student: https://ester-project.org/2026/05/01/the-ester-project-is-hiring/
📢📢

If you are interested in demography, biological proxies, modelling and/or Bayesian statistics, have a look! Deadline is May 31st, this sunday! Please apply if you think you fit even a little bit, we'd be delighted about a diverse set of applications! (I finished my PhD while already a Postdoc here aaaand am a woman [so diverse 😜]!) #Jobs #ComputationalArchaeology #modelling #statistics

Join the CAA SIG-RSE — Robotics, Sensors & Embedded Systems in Archaeology

The CAA Special Interest Group on Robotics, Sensors, and Embedded Systems in Archaeology (SIG-RSE) is a new community hub for archaeologists and technologists interested in hardware automation, embedded systems, and sensors in archaeological practice, from drone survey and robotic total stations to IoT heritage monitoring, LiDAR, and edge computing in the field. SIG-RSE will promote critical, ethical, and interdisciplinary engagement with these rapidly evolving technologies, and will serve as a platform for collaboration, open-source sharing, workshops, and conference sessions within the CAA community. Fill in this form to join the mailing list and stay informed about SIG activities. Membership is open to all with an interest in this area.

And as a friendly reminder, we hold monthly meetings where we host amazing speakers, organize collectively-maintained projects, and discuss all things relating to scripting languages in archaeology! (we also sometimes spill out into other #DigitalArchaeology and #ComputationalArchaeology topics as well ;P)

📣 Our next session is Friday February 6 (16:00–17:00 CET (15:00–16:00 GMT / 14:00–15:00 UTC) -- dm me for a link to join the call! 🚀

👾 For those who might have missed it, earlier this month we organized the inaugural Digital Archaeology Maintainathon --- an opportunity to clean, document and revise older code together. We wrote a brief summary of the event here: https://sslarch.github.io/maintainathon/2026-recap.html

Thank you to all those who posted about this hidden labour using the #DigiArchMaintainathon tag, and to everyone else who followed along and boosted these experiences!

👾 We are very happy to have done this #DigiArchMaintainathon 👾🏺! It was a great way to connect with people and showcase the work that needs to be done in #DigitalArchaeology and #ComputationalArchaeology. Software does need constant work and so many people are doing it.

If you wish to connect with the SIG SSLA, please check out our homepage 👉 https://sslarch.github.io/, join our googlegroup or meet us at the @CAA_int in Vienna this year!

🔭 Something that always needs to be done, is documenting code. We all seem to lack behind in this task. So, why not take half an hour today to write a short documentation on one of your repositories? Just as a start? Read more about documenting code here 👉
