Online-Internships: Digital Field Survey Archaeology

Anita CasarottoTesse D Stek

In this archaeological KNIR internship, you will expand your expertise in collection, digitisation and management of archaeological field data, specifically of legacy survey data. You will learn to integrate large field survey datasets using the FASTI Online Survey digital platform (FOS), which was developed by scholars from the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR), the International Association for Classical Archaeology (AIAC) and L-P Archaeology (UK). This data crowdsourcing platform consists of a webGIS and open-access archive for the storage, integration, online publication and permanent availability of information regarding Mediterranean survey projects. FOS allows researchers who conducted field-walking surveys in the Mediterranean to publish open-access the (legacy) survey data and metadata of their projects, and share them for reuse with other researchers and heritage professionals. You will assist international researchers with the data-entry into FOS, engage in outreach through social media and the production of videos, in collaborative archaeology and in what constitutes good practice around publication, authorship, citation and reuse of previously-collected data.
