Day 2 #SAA2011

Lots of Tweets about a variety of topics from Day 2 of #SAA2011. Organized by session/topic. RTs are at the end along with nearly all the tweets I saw (for those interested in full curation) I am using all of the tweets that appear under the #SAA2011 hashtage, but I noticed there were a few people tweeting from the conference without the tag that have already been lost in my twitter stream.

  1. Apparently the night of day 1 / early morning of day 2 was interesting...
  2. Some more advertising for sessions. If you haven't thought about posting it online, you can use sites like Slideshare to post a .pdf of your poster on the web and increase the exposure of your work dramatically. Or you can post straight to a blog like @electricarchaeo (btw the visualization is awesome)

    Of course you could increase the reach of your tweets just by including keywords: "Lady Gaga" or "Meat Dress"
  3. Fancy the Stone Age in Tanzania? Come see our poster symposium tomorrow morning! #109 8-10AM, east lobby 3rd floor! #SAA2011
  4. Did paleoindian migration alter California's wildfire regimes? Jon Keeley will discuss at #saa2011 on Sat: 1.usa.gov/dXAK88
  5. fingers crossed that Mark Warner has the photo of Lady GAGA in her Meat Dress... tomorrow at 8am!!!! #saa2011
  6. Will keep you posted! via @anthrogirly: fingers x-ed that Mark Warner has photo of Lady GAGA in Meat Dress... tomorrow at 8am!!!! #saa2011
  7. #SAA2011 attend the forum at 8:00 in 103 cc on cultural property protection in military operations. @dq8s is chaining the forum.
  8. Big #saa2011 for digital data and informatics. We are ready.
  9. though you don't get to experience the posters as the rising sun illuminates them... wow, best poster area I've seen.
  10. IRAP at #SAA2011. The poster space is beautiful at this convention centre! t.co/5J63x2h t.co/FhmC0cY
  11. Beginning of Day 2 the wireless technology at the Hotel is limiting people's ability to tweet. I'm wondering if the solution might be mobile hotspots for attendees who REALLY want their content to get on social media in real time. One hotspot per room is probably cheaper than whatever the hotels are charging per device.
  12. @cortsims @VOTPnews yes, but please ping me after #saa2011 Im all thumbs on phone twitter client, saa lacking wifi, so laptop no help
  13. Looks like some sessions are super specific. Here are some Tweets on tDAR, The Digitial Archaeology Record  which appears to be an online method of sharing archaeological data. Neat.
  14. Great point on making archaeology accessible to the public through digital repositories #saa2011
  15. Part two of forum on tDAR, presentations on different repository projects #saa2011
  16. Spielmann on using tDAR to address large scale questions, using faunal as example #saa2011
  17. Kohler: "Don't rest on your laurels, entering metadata can be fun". Creating digital archives #saa2011
  18. Manney discussing copyright and ownership in digital repositories. Balance of preservation, restriction and access #saa2011
  19. Discussing how to preserve legacies in digital format using repositories, preventing loss of arhaeological record #saa2011
  20. Tech friendly archaeology, discussion points to education. Looking forward to ideas about implementation... any so far? #saa2011
