Conferences, meetings and sessions

  • CAA2022:
    • Our SIG SSLA session has 5(+3?) submissions, which are now all in review.
    • There is still no way to submit workshops and we therefore still haven’t submitted ours.

SIG activities

  • Teaching material list:
    • Sophie Schmidt and others started to work on a unified tagging vocabulary for the available list.
    • Clemens Schmid and Robert Bischoff came up with a creative solution to visualize the material in a fun and engaging way (Details omitted from the minutes).
    • Help is needed for all of these efforts: Check out the #teaching-materials channel on slack.
  • The Open Digital Archaeology Textbook (Shawn Graham et al.):
    • Shawn Graham is open to hand the lead for a second edition over to another author/editor.
    • Volunteers can contact Zack Batist.
