Archaeologists & the Digital: Towards Strategies of Engagement
A Storify about the CASPAR workshop on digital engagement for archaeology on May 16, 2011 at the UCL Institute for Archaeology.
- This Storify account attempts to bring together a Twitter conversation on during the workshop on digital engagement in Archaeology. Not many RT's were included, but made up a size-able proportion of tweets - particularly following the end of the workshop.A more in depth post on the various papers, highlights and discussions done by Dan Pett can be found on his blog post.There were various announcements and tweets leading up to the workshop:
- Tomorrow is #ACRNCASPAR at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL. If you're coming, see you there. Web, tv, archaeology engagement. #archaeology
- Have to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to get to the #ACRNCASPAR workshop at the UCL Io #Archaeology. Better be lots of coffee!
- Rewriting paper for #ACRNCASPAR at dawn does not put me in best of moods. But looking forward to seeing everyone later at the workshop :-)
- Surprisingly all the twit archaeologists are converging at the IoA - who ever said it was an exclusive medium? #ACRNCASPAR see y'all there!
- Unsurprisingly am running late for #ACRNCASPAR. Useless on Monday mornings, I really am.
And some complaints about the obscure hashtag:
- @archaeologyman Is #ACRNCASPAR an ancronym for something? The majority of words in the English language are shorter than that!
- @tag the discussion on #ACRNCASPAR sounds interesting. Unfortunatately the hash tag is a little obscure! Can you fill me in on what it is?
- Some retweets about the event by @clairey_ross, @Rikke_Olafson, @ArchaeologistSP, @LornaRichardson, and @portableant:
- RT @portableant: Tomorrow is #ACRNCASPAR at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL. If you're coming, see you there. Web, tv, archaeology engagement. #archaeology
- RT @LornaRichardson: #ACRNCASPAR day workshop "#Archaeology & the Digital: Strategies of Engagement" is today 10 - 5 if anyone would like to follow it #pubarch
And some self-professed followers from who couldn't make it to the IoA: (And some that turned up later - @PatHadley!)
- @lornarichardson sounds like an interesting day :) will defiantly try to follow #ACRNCASPAR
- @stueve @lornarichardson @jadufton @portableant I'm going to miss it! So have a great day and tweet lots! For me + @Beth_Compton #ACRNCASPAR
- Sure as hell going to be watching the tweets coming out of #ACRNCASPAR today...wish I could be there.

Complaint about wireless and issues with connecting... (Somehow I managed to get on to Eduroam):
- Hopefully WiFi in 2nd session at #ACRNcaspar when someone finds an Ethernet cable, or use eduroam
