The AIA-Coalition for Archaeological Synthesis (CfAS) working group
has developed a new conference format, “Quick Takes: Big Archaeological
Topics in 5min or Less”, to explore concepts with critical implications
in the field of archaeology and disseminate information for the AIA
meetings and beyond.
The inaugural program, “Quick Takes – Take #1: Big Datasets in Archaeology”,
showcases nine videos of scholars working in a variety of places and
time periods. Their contributions discuss various types of big datasets
and the different approaches that they take to analyze, curate, and
disseminate these data.
On Wednesday, October 26th, 2022, the organizers Drs. Danielle Riebe and Sarah McClure will moderate a “Quick Takes Forum” from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
