Araujo, Alice Leplongeon, Colin Wren, José Ramón Rabuñal, Marcelo Cardillo, María Barrera Cruz, David N. Matzig (2023) Benchmarking methods and data for the whole-outline geometric morphometric analysis of lithic tools. Evolutionary Anthropology. Overview of contents and how to reproduce: This repository contains the data collaboratively collected and prepared in the workshop "Cultural evolutionary tools for stone tool shape analysis: Geometric morphometrics and Bayesian phylogenetics" hosted at the Aarhus Institute for Advanced Studies, in Aarhus, Denmark in September 2022. The dataset present in the folder `database` contains outlines together with their associated metadata of 646 artefacts collected from eight different countries, spanning a timeframe of ~18.000 to 500 years BP. For further information, please refer to the Supplementary Informations. After downloading, the results can be reproduced using `CES_2022_workshop.Rproj` and the existing folder structure. The required packages and their versions which have been used in this study are listed below and in the `DESCRIPTION`-file. All analyses and visualisations presented in this paper were prepared in R 4.2.1 under Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (64-bit). Required R-packages and their versions: The R code provides an example on how to load, inspect, and plot different aspects of the data. It requires the following R-packages: dplyr (>= 1.0.8), ggplot2 (>= 3.4.0), ggthemes (>= 4.2.4), magrittr (>= 2.0.2), Momocs (>= 1.3.0), outlineR (>= 0.1.0), raster (>= 3.5-15), readr (>= 2.1.2), remotes (>= 2.4.2), rgeos (>= 0.5-9), rworldmap (>= 1.3-6), sp (>= 1.4-6).

“Expanding Data Imaginaries in Urban Planning” synthesizes more than three years of industrial research conducted within Gehl and the Techno–Anthropology Lab at Aalborg University. Through practical experiments with social media images, digital photovoice, and participatory mapmaking, the project explores how visual materials created by citizens can be used within a digital and participatory methodology to reconfigure the empirical ground of data-driven urbanism. Drawing on a data feminist framework, the project uses visual research to elevate community voices and situate urban issues in lived experiences. As a Science and Technology Studies project, the PhD also utilizes its industrial position as an opportunity to study Gehl’s practices up close, unpacking collectively held narratives and visions that form a particular “data imaginary” and contribute to the production and perpetuation of the role of data in urban planning. The dissertation identifies seven epistemological commitments that shape the data imaginary at Gehl and act as discursive closures within their practice. To illustrate how planners might expand on these, the dissertation uses its own data experiments as speculative demonstrations of how to make alternative modes of knowing cities possible through participatory and digital visual methods.

This includes the extensive Supplementary Information (SI) document for the paper "A New Framework for Quantifying Prehistoric Grave Wealth", explaining the methods, background material, intermediate calculations for every object and grave, as well as other considerations that could not fit in the main paper. This is a dynamic document with dynamic contents, (some) interactive graphs, and interactive tables, and therefore works best in html-format. Download the file SI.html and open it in your favorite browser (tested in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge) and the whole document should show with all functions. Alternatively, it may be viewed without downloading at https://prehistoricmap.com/quantwealth/SI.html (although not a stable link). A static version of the code as it was used and data used in the study at the time of publication is also included here in the file QuantWealth.zip, and a link to the GitHub page where a continuously updated version is available is found in the file GitHub_repo_link.txt, or go directly to https://github.com/mnortoft/QuantWealth. This research was part of a PhD project funded by the Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen

In the past few months more than a billion people have faced restrictions unlike any seen before. Shops are closed; the death toll is rising; people across the globe have been forced to rise to an extraordinary challenge. But it is important to remember that humans have experienced pandemics before. In this documentary Dan Snow explores some of these previous pandemics and what they can teach us about Covid-19. He talks to Dr James Rogers about what lessons we can learn from WW2.

Over the covid-19 lockdown period, Dr James Rogers worked with history teachers and academics to keep the learning going in lockdown. He now has a fantastic range of videos and podcasts available. All content is free to access and is explicitly designed to help teachers and students undertake A-Level and GCSE history revision.Podcast - Slavery and Emancipation in the United States, with Dr Cathrine Armstrong.Podcast - The History of Terrorism - The IRA, with Professor Caroline Kennedy-Pipe.Video - The Rise of Hitler - Hitler, Power, and War, with Ms Laurie Matthews.Video - The Home Front in WW2 - The Butterfly Bombing of Grimsby, with Dr James Rogers.
