SPARC Teaching Resources

These teaching resources have been created to encourage the reuse of digital archaeological data archived by SPARC, in accordance with the 'Reusability' FAIR principle. The repository contains multiple teaching materials designed to introduce university level students to working with archived spatial data. It introduces terminology and metadata, provides exercises with step-by-step instructions for the reanalysis and reinterpretation of models collected through former SPARC projects, and engages with issues and scholarship for each method. These resources can be found at https://github.com/castuofa/sparc_teaching and https://github.com/castuofa/sparc_microct.
