| Title: | Main Title: Digital Data in Archaeology: Preservation, Access and Re-Use - the Work of the Archaeology Data Service |
| Descriptions: | Abstract: The advancement of digital media has dramatically changed how we communicate and record our heritage and online open access resources have become an increasingly important aspect of modern archaeological research. The Archaeology Data Service (ADS) is a digital archive that has been promoting good practice in the use of digital archaeological data and supporting research, learning and teaching with high quality and dependable digital resources for over seventeen years. The ADS does this by preserving digital data in the long-term and by promoting and disseminating, open and free data-sets, gathered from all sectors of archaeology. An integral component of the ADS’s remit has been the lifecycle principle of preservation, curation and dissemination of data in order to enable re-use. As more researchers deposit data, the amount of data available for cross-site, cross-cultural and cross-period research continues to grow. Free, open access to this data, reduces repetition in research, increases the value of data, and provides many opportunities through data re-use to combine and re-interrogate datasets, allowing new archaeological interpretations to be developed. In order to fully understand the role the digital archive plays in expanding archaeological knowledge, it is important to understand who is using and reusing archived data and it is necessary to identify how that data is being used. This paper introduces the work of the ADS and explores web statistics to discover who is using the ADS archive and how they are interacting with the collections. The case studies presented demonstrate current ‘usage stories’ of popular data collections and highlighting the value and impact of archaeological data re-use upon the archaeological sector.
