The ancient past can sometimes seem so distant, but it is the responsibility of those who study the past to not only share results of their investigations, but also to do so in a timely and accessible manner. While some archaeological findings are hoarded until final publication due to proprietary concerns (or, sadly, sometimes never published at all), the Poggio Civitate Archaeological Project takes another radical approach: making all raw excavation data publicly and freely available shortly after it has been brought to light. 

The Poggio Civitate Archaeological Project does this in partnership with Open Context, a digital publisher and archive of archaeological data. In this talk Prof. Ann Glennie (Classics Department, College of the Holy Cross) will introduce the site of Poggio Civitate, discuss the rationale behind the Project’s use of Open Context, and show how making data available through Open Context can promote accessibility, and thereby, more nuanced and diverse interpretations of the data.
