: if there was a non-selective, diamond open access (i.e. free to publish, free to read), post-publication peer review journal for field reports, would you use it?

The idea being to publish basically any description of primary archaeological results from anywhere in the world, subject to basic checks for research ethics, without worrying about things like significance, novelty, or English-language editing, that can otherwise make it difficult to publish that kind of thing.

@berangere444 Thanks. For sure there will be countries/research contexts that have no need for this. But not all, I think!

Reviewer #2: This paper adequately presents its data and conclusions, but its impact could be increased by launching some of the artifacts into space for the hell of it

Spicy take:

Sites like this do not work unless they are open-sourced, and partnered by a with a longevity plan. This should be considered at inital development in order to be compatable with larger systems and standardised. It will avoid mountains of expensive work in the future.

This website now redirects to blogspam of dogs in costumes (cute, though!). Just because you want to be the first one to do it, does not mean it is the right way to do it.

@NikaShilobod I reluctantly have to question how much working open source helps too. I mean, you should do it anyway, but in practice nobody is going to maintain or take over your codebase unless they're specifically compensated for doing so.

Ultimately it comes down to money and, in my experience, it's almost impossible to find money for long-term sustainability in the current funding landscape – even when the costs are relatively tiny (i.e. a modest server and part-time maintenance contract).

"Archaeology in the Fediverse and the future of scholarly social media"

@zackbatist and I are proposing this topic for a panel discussion at 2023, Turin: https://www.archeofoss.org/2023/panel-proposals

The proposals are open for comment until 15th September, after which there'll be an open call for papers. Let us know if you're interested!

@mcotsar @zackbatist I haven't seen much conference tooting on here, to be honest. Was there even an EAA hashtag?

StabilnoLabilno, to Archaeology

I have a question for my fellow out there about . For two years, I was part of a large project while working in a local museum. The excavations finished this year, but I resigned (for reasons outside of archaeology) from the museum at the end of last year. While I was at the museum, I was the lead archaeologist on the project. Naturally, talks have now begun about a publication of the project.

@StabilnoLabilno We've all been there, I don't think there's a good answer :(

Do you sacrifice the compensation you deserve for writing up? Or the publication credit you deserve for work already completed? Institutions know this and so don't properly budget for the whole project.

You can say no—insisting on co-authorship if they get someone else in, of course—in which case they might suddenly find the money. It might not be worth the chance if you need to build your publication record, though.

A man who filmed himself damaging this cup marked stone near Pontypridd has been ordered to pay £4,400 compensation and given a four-month sentence, suspended for two years. More in our page: https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=59048

@Drdonnayates @archaeodons The Dorak affair? Although, I still don't really understand whether there was actually anything to steal there.

Yes, I want to but reaching northern Ireland from northern Germany ( ; ) is quite some hassle even when flying today (at least I go to the airport with only public transport). 😒 In the Late the connection would probably have been better at least to the shores of the Irish Sea. 😁

joeroe,
@joeroe@archaeo.social avatar

@SonjaBGrimm I haven't flown in years... except to get from Denmark/Switzerland to the UK. It seems to be impossible to get over the North Sea for a reasonable price any other way 😠

Upper Palaeolithic trains were probably more reliable, too.

This morning I read a post on a very active commercial archaeology Facebook group, asking whether a young person with an interest in maths and archaeology could combine the two.

15 replies in and all the answers are basically "no, there's no maths in archaeology"!

How is it our 70-year-old subfield is still so invisible?

Carved into the red-hued desert sandstone cliffs of Jordan, the Lost City Of Petra has been weathered by the desert winds for two millennia.

@ObsidianUrbex Nice photos! Just a word of caution: the Bedul Bedouin live in Petra and have done for many centuries. It has never been "abandoned" or "lost", and describing it as such plays into the hands of those who would prefer to see the Bedul and other indigenous people evicted from their lands to make way for Western tourists.

Is anyone else confused by the process of following people on here? What does the little icon with an x next to it mean. If you click on it, it changes to a little icon with a + on it. That is clear as mud to me.

joeroe,
@joeroe@archaeo.social avatar

@ArchaeoIain On people's profiles I get a button that says follow/unfollow. For hashtags there's a button that sounds like what you describe: the person with the x means unfollow, the person with the plus means follow. But that's just using Mastodon in my browser – maybe you're using an app?

Looks like the latest Twitter migration to https://archaeo.social is in full swing!

For new users, writing a post with the hashtag is a great way to get those first followers. Lots of people follow and boost posts from that hashtag (DYK you can follow hashtags here?)

For old users, now might be a good time to boost your introduction post to re-introduce yourself.

Follow for server updates and conversations.

    @cliffwade @jcrabapple Any plans to set up a bridge with the existing Matrix room (https://matrix.to/#/:matrix.org)? It's pretty quiet there, so it'd be nice to avoid further fragmentation.
