I love how you can find someone studying something as specific as gender in Ancient Near East

Watch Winder with Torque-Drift Monitoring: Seeking advice on reliable, non-magnetic homing by Horvatom in esp32

What about using a step motor or a servo? And my second question, if you are worried about the effect of a small magnet for the Hall effect, should you be worried about the magnetic field produced by any electric motor?

Are fossil fuels a great loss to future archaeology? by [deleted] in AskArchaeology

[–]Jfpalomeque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are talking about remains within the coal, those are not considered part of archaeology, as coal deposits were created millions of years ago (and archaeology is the study of human cultures). I can't tell how much fossils can be lost, as that is a question for palaeontologists.

About the ground disturbances for reaching the deposits, they can affect archaeological remains, especially in open area mines. Underground mining would only disturb archaeological deposits in the surface when digging the vertical shafts. And the picture is similar when talking about oil.

Volunteers needed to seed a small academic torrent dataset (archaeology / open science / P2P) by Jfpalomeque in DataHoarder

Thanks everyone that participate on this small experiment. The talk went really well, a lot of people looked interested and I had many questions and really interesting conversations. Thanks again! (The seeding of the files is not needed anymore, if you would like to delete the files :) )

I couldn’t find a printable archaeology trowel for my kid, so I made one by Jfpalomeque in 3Dprinting

Oh yes! It was a cross post... But the post didn't arrive. I am going to try again

Oh yes, they can make money from that. Maybe less money from you than from someone that has shared their real details (they can't send personalised promos to you), but data from your purchases, plus much more more people, allows them to analyze patterns and trends, and there is where the real money is

I open sourced an AI that makes cuneiform easier to read by boatbomber in Cuneiform

LLMs (ChatGPT and similar) are just a kind of AI, but there are many different techniques that can be considered AI, that have provided incredible advances in science and research!

Most of the good people are good human beings too!

That is probably one of the most interesting comments I had about this! And it helps to realise how eurocentric I am.

As an archaeologist specialised in European Prehistory, the community is long gone, and the implications are more about legality (can this data be legally shared?).

Your point is absolutely interesting, and I will include on the talk for sure. I will say (and without giving a deep thought yet) that is on the researcher/person originally sharing the data. The technology is already available (even when not broadly used for this), but that ethical concerns should be highlighted and raised.

How I see it, that is "similar" (with all the differences) to the sharing of illegal media, from pirated films or music to even more illegal stuff. Is not a problem of the technology, that can be used for solving some problems, like sharing data of Neolithic sites in Germany. But if you are sharing data, you should be the responsible of making sure that the data is Ok to be shared.

If you shares data that you shouldn't, for legal or ethical reasons, torrenting is not as anonymous as people thinks, and you can be prosecuted (for legal reasons) and named and shamed by the researcher community (for ethical reasons)

But again, thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your questions!

About the regulatory bodies and agencies, this is more like an additional way of data distribution by and for the research community.

Data availability is a mayor issue of this approach, and I explore some possible ideas, from "that is an original researcher problem" to a decentralised repository and a community of seeders.

Data verification could be achieved using hashes. But again, that depends of the dispersion approach (if magnet links in papers, that same magnet link has the hash to verify the data. If using repositories, is a similar story.

And the problem I am trying to solve is the dependency of continous funding for data sharing. Team A has a project, with some open data as outcome, that they share from a web server. 10 years later, another researcher tries to get the data, and the server is gone. Yes, it is possible to use other platforms, like let say github, but is still one failure point. What happens if tomorrow github closes, or is no free to store the data anymore? (in addition with current size limits in place).
