Attempting a catalogue of the people and organizations that served as influences in this process is a fool’s errand. Convention compels the attempt, however, and so I will try. Archaeology is learnt by doing - with the important corollary that one never does it alone. For me, the doing began with Dr. Bob Mensforth, Dr. Phil Wanyerka and the members of the student anthropology club at Cleveland State University. My first, and memorable, field experience took place under the watchful eyes of Cleveland Museum of Natural History archaeologists Brian Redmond, Mark Kollecker, and Jim Bowers. During my years as a National Park Service archaeologist I met and worked with many wonderful people, especially Logan Hovis, Ted Birkedahl, and the cultural resources staff in the NPS Alaska Regional Office. Special thanks are due to Katie Ringsmuth and Sarah Venator, friends and colleagues with whom I shared many memorable adventures. As a student in the Industrial Archaeology program I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse group of scholars including Carl Blair, Kim Hoagland, Larry Lankton, Carol MacLennan (thanks for the “pre-writing” advice!), Lee Presley, Fred Quivik, Terry Reynolds, Tim Scarlett, Bruce Seely, Steve Walton, and LouAnn Wurst. I am grateful for the stimulating discussions, feedback, advice, and mentorship. Pat Martin is the individual most responsible for my growth from a student with an interest in the past to a fully-fledged archaeologist. Susan Martin remains a constant inspiration as a model scholar, citizen, and giver of sage advice. Pat and Susan’s mentorship and friendship has since extended far beyond my professional life; thank you so much for everything. The Industrial Archaeology program alumni remain a wonderfully tightknit group, and over the years they have been my fellow students, coworkers, supervisors, collaborators, and of course, friends: among them are Alessandra Brignola, Marley Chynoweth, Carmelo Dávila, Seth DePasqual, Tim Goddard, Amanda Gronhovd, Cameron Hartnell, Arron Kotlensky, Rachel Letter, Rob McQueen. Leonor Medeiros, Julie Molina, Bode Morin, Eric Nordberg, Eric Pomber, Steve Sarich, Dan Schneider, Scott See, Erin Timms, Tim Tumberg, and Craig Wilson. Thanks to all for the fellowship and shared wisdom. Four colleagues and friends require special mention for going above and beyond. Liz Hartnell, née Norris, is as real a person as one can be. Please never change. Paul White’s inimitable sense of humor, penetrating intellect, and indomitable spirit are unique. I’ve enjoyed many a laugh over the absurdities of life with him. John Arnold always found the humor in every situation, however trying, and pressed on. Sean Gohman has absorbed by far the greatest volume of my complaints, pet peeves, and insecurities viii during my years as a student, and still he remains – though he gave as good as he got. With friends such as these, you’ll never walk alone. My dissertation research would not have been possible without crucial support, financial and otherwise, from the following organizations: the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Science Foundation, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Michigan Tech Graduate School, Michigan Space Grant Consortium, Michigan Tech Social Sciences Department, Keweenaw National Historic Park, Isle Royale National Park, and Keweenaw Heritage Partners. Very special thanks are owed to the members of my dissertation committee: Melissa Baird, Krysta Ryzewski, and Sarah Fayen Scarlett. Your comments, advice, and guidance have been invaluable as I developed my dissertation research. I owe a great debt of gratitude to my advisor Don Lafreniere for his tireless efforts as advisor and mentor, whether it be support, guidance, knowledge, experience, constructive criticism, encouragement, or steadying presence. To my family: this has been quite a journey, but you have unselfishly supported me from the very beginning. Thank you. Most importantly of all, to Amy Bastion: I can hardly do justice in a sentence to your unwavering support, infinite funds of patience and positivity, and willingness to share my burdens. Thank You. I could not have made it without you. ix ABSTRACT Postindustrial urban landscapes are large-scale, complex manifestations of the past in the present in the form of industrial ruins and archaeological sites, decaying infrastructure, and adaptive reuse; ongoing processes of postindustrial redevelopment often conspire to conceal the toxic consequences of long-term industrial activity. Understanding these phenomena is an essential step in building a sustainable future; despite this, the study of the postindustrial is still new, and requires interdisciplinary connections that remain either unexplored or underexplored. Archaeologists have begun to turn their attention to the modern industrial era and beyond. This focus carries the potential to deliver new understandings of the industrial and postindustrial city, yet archaeological attention to the postindustrial remains in its infancy. Developments in the ongoing digital revolution in archaeology and within the social sciences and humanities have the potential to contribute to the archaeological study of the postindustrial city.

  • Archaeology and the Big Data Challenge

    Archaeology and the Big Data Challenge

    Think big about data: Archaeology and the Big Data challenge Gabriele Gattiglia Abstract – Usually defined as high volume, high velocity, and/or high variety data, Big Data permit us to learn things that we could not comprehend using smaller amounts of data, thanks to the empowerment provided by software, hardware and algorithms. This requires a novel archaeological approach: to use a lot of data; to accept messiness; to move from causation to correlation. Do the imperfections of archaeological data preclude this approach? Or are archaeological data perfect because they are messy and difficult to structure? Normal- ly archaeology deals with the complexity of large datasets, fragmentary data, data from a variety of sources and disciplines, rarely in the same format or scale. If so, is archaeology ready to work more with data-driven research, to accept predictive and probabilistic techniques? Big Data inform, rather than explain, they expose patterns for archaeological interpretation, they are a resource and a tool: data mining, text mining, data visualisations, quantitative methods, image processing etc. can help us to understand complex archaeological information. Nonetheless, however seductive Big Data appear, we cannot ignore the problems, such as the risk of considering that data = truth, and intellectual property and ethical issues. Rather, we must adopt this technology with an appreciation of its power but also of its limitations. Key words – Big Data, datafication, data-led research, correlation, predictive modelling Zusammenfassung – Üblicherweise als Hochgeschwindigkeitsdaten (high volume, high velocity und/oder high variety data) bezeichnet, machen es Big Data möglich, dank dem Einsatz von Software, Hardware und Algorithmen historische Prozesse zu studieren, die man anhand kleinerer Datenmengen nicht verstehen kann.

    Data Mining and Data Warehousing Unit 1: Introduction

    https://genuinenotes.com Data Mining and Data Warehousing Unit 1: Introduction Data Mining Databases today can range in size into the terabytes — more than 1,000,000,000,000 bytes of data. Within these masses of data lies hidden information of strategic importance. But when there is such enormous amount of data how could we draw any meaningful conclusion? We are data rich, but information poor. The abundance of data, coupled with the need for powerful data analysis tools, has been described as a data rich but information poor situation. Data mining is being used both to increase revenues and to reduce costs. The potential returns are enormous. Innovative organizations worldwide are using data mining to locate and appeal to higher-value customers, to reconfigure their product offerings to increase sales, and to minimize losses due to error or fraud. What is data mining? Mining is a brilliant term characterizing the process that finds a small set of precious bits from a great deal of raw material. Definition: Data mining is the process of discovering meaningful new correlations, patterns and trends by sifting through large amounts of data stored in repositories, using pattern recognition technologies as well as statistical and mathematical techniques. Data mining is the analysis of (often large) observational data sets to find unsuspected relationships and to summarize the data in unique ways that are both understandable and useful to the data owner. Data mining is an interdisciplinary field bringing together techniques from machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, databases, and visualization to address the issue of information extraction from large database.

Trein Instructor’s office: DEN 133 Office Hours: F 11:30 – 1:30pm, or by appointment Email: [email protected] Source: unknown artist Course Description: How do we go from artifacts to statements about the lives of people in the past? How much of the past can we truly know, when most of the pertinent evidence has long since degraded, and when the people we aim to study are long dead? This course provides a broad survey of the major theoretical trends that have shaped anthropological archaeology over time. We will outline and examine some of the major publications, debates, and shifts in archaeological thought that have influenced the diverse ways in which we claim to know what we know about the past. In this course, we will explore the notion that the various intellectual approaches we employ to make statements about the past are influenced by the different perspectives we have of the relationship between the past and the present, the kinds of meaning we believe can be derived from the archaeological record, the questions we seek to answer, and the methods we use to retrieve (and prioritize) information. This course will start with a broad overview of the major periods of theoretical development in archaeology from the 1800s to the present, followed by discussions of how archaeologists tackle common archaeological questions through diverse theoretical lenses (and why sometimes they don’t tackle these questions at all). While the politics of archaeological practice will be 1 | Page touched upon throughout the course, we will devote the last quarter of the course to the repercussions of archaeological practice to present-day communities and stakeholders.

The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have
