Palaeoecology made easy: two new tools to make the best use of big data in archaeology | Department of Archaeology

In recent years, we witnessed the publication of both large datasets of archaeological occurrences and palaeoclimatic data series covering hundreds of thousands of years. This opened the door to new, exciting possibilities in the field of palaeoecology.

If you are interested by maritimes routes and boat in the Roman Empire, join us today for our #CDAL Seminar!

Time for our #introduction !
We are a group of researchers in #archaeology at #CambridgeUniversity (something called #CDAL ). We are challenging scientists from every fields & every level to infer what happened in an artificial world where a group of #Farmers replaced a group of #HunterGatherers . Its a game, open to anyone, using any #inference method as long as we can re-run the analysis ourself ( #OpenSource tools only, we won't pay a matlab licence to re-run your code πŸ™ƒ )
