I'm a final year PhD student exploring collaborative research practices among archaeologists and across the social sciences! Specifically interested in data sharing and open data practices, and the uptake of new tools that reconfigure knowledge production.

I also enjoy tinkering with digital things. Ask me about graph databases, qualitative data analysis, network analysis, text manipulation, and conceptual modelling!

Hi @zackbatist , I would like to enter the world of network analysis in archaeology too. What do you suggest for starting? Thank you!

@archexis You might want to read these two reviews: doi.org/10.1007/s10816-012-9133-8 & doi.org/10.1146/annurev-anthro-102116-041423

@archexis Many network analysis studies benefit from compiling a dataset with a proper scope for dealing with particular research questions (what kinds of relations can I draw, and what would they mean archaeologically speaking?), and with relatively consistent data collection parameters, which are not easy to accomplish. I failed in both these aspects while doing my MA thesis 😅
