Open Science and multidisciplinary archaeology

This research theme focuses on the use of open science principles in archaeological research, promoting transparency, accessibility, and collaboration across disciplines. I am particularly interested in how open data, open source software, and open methodologies can enhance the reproducibility and impact of archaeological studies, allowing researchers from diverse backgrounds to engage with and build upon existing work.

I am a stronger bveliever in the use of Open Science practices to support robust and transparent research. This includes the sharing of data and code, use of open tools, and the use of open access publishing to make research outputs widely available. By adopting these practices, I aim to foster a more inclusive and collaborative research environment that encourages critical evaluation and reuse of archaeological data and methods.

As my wide and varied background can testify, I am particularly interested in multidisciplinary approaches that integrate perspectives from archaeology, data science, computer science, and related fields. By combining expertise from different domains, I believe we can develop more comprehensive and innovative solutions to complex archaeological questions.

My experience with the maker movement and DIY culture has also influenced my approach to research. I value hands-on experimentation, prototyping, and iterative development, which can lead to practical and adaptable solutions that are well-suited to the dynamic nature of archaeological research. The creation of communities around shared tools and practices is also a key aspect of this theme, as it promotes knowledge exchange and collective problem-solving.

Overall, this theme aims to advance archaeological research through the adoption of Open Science principles and multidisciplinary collaboration, supporting work that is transparent, reproducible, and accessible to wider research communities.
