SUMMARY:Harvard Andean Working Group: Considering Data Collected From Archaeological Objects — And How We Need to Understand Its Nature to Make Sense of Analyses
DESCRIPTION:<p>This talk examines the hidden assumptions embedded in digital humanities data. Although data-driven methods such as machine learning and statistical analysis are increasingly common, the data itself is shaped by human decisions, biases, gaps, and long-standing collection practices. Meaningful analysis requires careful attention to data histories, quality, and limitations—yet these issues are often overlooked. Using archaeological case studies, the talk proposes a framework for understanding how data characteristics shape analytical outcomes and calls for more rigorous engagement with the foundations of our datasets.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For additional information about the speaker and lecture, please see the attached poster.</p><p><em><strong>This event is presented in collaboration with The Harvard Andean Working Group</strong></em></p>
