“…Within each study these definitions are wholly appropriate based on the how vessels are used locally, but it does not translate well beyond the study assemblage without modification to account for observable variation in vessel forms regionally. Equally, generic classifications of pots, bowls and dishes based on the degree to which orifices are open or closed do not correlate well with the known range of variation in past and present Massim vessel forms (Banning, 2000; Shepard, 1965). Because the Biniwaga cave assemblage has been curated to accompany human skeletal remains, the vessels do not likely reflect the full range of variation produced in the past.…”

“…For instance, a bowl can be classified as having an approximately equal orifice diameter and vessel height (Allen, 2017;Skelly 2014;Vanderwal, 1973), height that is less than maximum width (Lauer, 1970), or defined qualitatively by rim form (Bickler, 1998;Egloff, 1979). Within each study these definitions are wholly appropriate based on the how vessels are used locally, but it does not translate well beyond the study assemblage without modification to account for observable variation in vessel (Banning, 2000;Shepard, 1965). Because the Biniwaga cave assemblage has been curated to accompany human skeletal remains, the vessels do not likely reflect the full range of variation produced in the past.…”

Indirect dating of secondary cave burials in the Massim region of Papua New Guinea reveals last millennium reorganisation of social practices

In the Massim Island region of southeastern Papua New Guinea secondary interment of skeletal remains was widely practiced historically, but its social context and regional expression in the deeper past remains uncertain. In this paper the chronology of secondary burial on Panaeati Island is established indirectly by reconstructing the cultural and spatiotemporal association of 21 clay pots placed with human skeletal remains at Biniwaga Cave, coincidently establishing the first whole vessel typology of Southern Massim Combed Pottery (SMCP) and Southern Massim Pottery (SMP). Comparison with excavated pottery assemblages on Panaeati and elsewhere in the region demonstrates that the Biniwaga pots are consistent with SMCP and early SMP, dating from 740 to 470 calBP. Secondary burial practices on Panaeati are contemporary with those recorded elsewhere in the region and coincide with changes in pottery production centres. Compared to excavated pottery assemblages from contemporary sites, a relatively narrow range of pots are represented at Biniwaga. It is hypothesised that pots were selected to reflect the cultural affiliation of deceased individuals during a period of increasing inter‐island interaction.

“…Čimbenike nastanka arheoloških podatka možemo tražiti u mjerenjima i opažanjima arheološkog entiteta i njegovog konteksta (Banning, 2002;Richards and Ryan, 1985). Opširniji opis nastanka arheoloških podataka daje Huggett (2022) koji u istraživanju prirode i ekosustava arheoloških podataka utvrđuje dva različita pristupa.…”

Cilj. Otvoreni istraživački podaci postaju bitan čimbenik istraživačkog procesa u svim znanstvenim disciplinama, pa tako i u arheologiji koja je predmet ovoga rada. Samim tim dio su i procesa oblikovanja novoga znanja. Cilj je ovog istraživanja utvrđivanje i opis čimbenika oblikovanja istraživačkih podataka povezanih s arheologijom i otvorenom znanosti kojima se može utjecati na unaprjeđenje kvalitete otvorenih istraživačkih podataka u svrhu njihove ponovne uporabe u novim istraživanjima i arheološkoj zajednici. Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom sadržajne analize dostupnih članaka i publikacija koji su proizašli iz znanstvenih istraživanja te projekata u području arheologije i otvorene znanosti. Rezultati. Pregledom i sadržajnom obradom relevantnih članaka ukazuje se na najznačajnije odrednice istraživačkih podataka te na tradiciju primjene digitalne tehnologije u arheologiji. Kroz istraživanje je deﬁnirano sedam faza primjene digitalne tehnologije koje je moguće percipirati kao razine zrelosti primjene digitalne tehnologije. Otvoreni istraživački podaci i njihova ponovna uporaba od interesa su za istraživačku, ali i širu zajednicu. Kao čimbenici istraživačkih podataka u arheologiji utvrđeni su arheološki podaci, arheološki zapis, životni ciklus istraživačkih podataka, digitalni objekt, strukturirani i povezani otvoreni podaci, citiranje otvorenih istraživačkih podataka, digitalni repozitorij i kvaliteta otvorenih istraživačkih podataka. Kod svakog od navedenih čimbenika istraženi su, opisani i povezani pojedini fenomeni. Proces je bitan jer se samo tako može osigurati povjerenje korisnika u istraživačke podatke za ponovnu uporabu, odnosno osigurati potrebna razina kvalitete otvorenih istraživačkih podataka. Utvrđena su daljnja područja istraživanja s obzirom na granularnost trajnog identiﬁkatora u području arheologije i dimenzije kvalitete istraživačkih podataka za ponovnu uporabu. Ograničenja. U okviru ovog istraživanja u obzir su uzeti samo radovi koji su objavljeni na hrvatskome ili engleskom jeziku, pa nisu uključeni rezultati relevantnih istraživanja predstavljenih na drugim jezicima. Istraživanja o otvorenim istraživačkim podacima u mnogim su sredinama u začetku. Veći broj istraživanja koji je proveden i objavljen u publikacijama za područje arheologije temelji se na studijima slučaja ili na prigodnim uzorcima. Ovim istraživanjem nisu detaljnije istraženi metapodaci. Praktična primjena. Kreiranje otvorenih istraživačkih podataka zahtijeva sudjelovanje istraživača ili stručnjaka iz područja arheologije, ali i informacijskih znanosti. Rezultati ovog istraživanja mogu im pomoći u razumijevanju primjene digitalne tehnologije te unaprjeđenju procesa nastajanja, pohrane, dugotrajnog očuvanja, kao i ponovne uporabe otvorenih istraživačkih podataka. Originalnost/vrijednost. Istraživanja o otvorenim istraživačkim podacima na području Hrvatske u početnoj su fazi. Nedostaju istraživanja o tome kako je moguće kreirati otvorene istraživačke podatke i kako ih ponovno upotrijebiti. Ovaj rad daje doprinos u proširenju spoznaja o digitalnom tijeku pohranjivanja istraživačkih podataka u arheologiji, čimbenicima oblikovanja otvorenih istraživačkih podataka te dimenzijama kvalitete za njihovu ponovnu uporabu.

“…However, there is no reason to think that Bayesian exchangeability has any role in archaeologists’ attitudes to probability sampling. Few texts on archaeological analysis even mention exchangeability (Banning 2000:88; Buck et al 1996:72–74; Orton 2000:21). One other does, but without naming it (Drennan 2010:88–92).…”

Sampled to Death? The Rise and Fall of Probability Sampling in Archaeology

After a heyday in the 1970s and 1980s, probability sampling became much less visible in archaeological literature as it came under assault from the post-processual critique and the widespread adoption of “full-coverage survey.” After 1990, published discussion of probability sampling rarely strayed from sample-size issues in analyses of artifacts along with plant and animal remains, and most textbooks and archaeological training limited sampling to regional survey and did little to equip new generations of archaeologists with this critical aspect of research design. A review of the last 20 years of archaeological literature indicates a need for deeper and broader archaeological training in sampling; more precise usage of terms such as “sample”; use of randomization as a control in experimental design; and more attention to cluster sampling, stratified sampling, and nonspatial sampling in both training and research.
