By way of an intro, I'm Jolene. I'm an archaeologist who wrangles data in the public sector. I like questions, collaboration, databases, maps, charts, graphs, patterns, jokes, context, equity, dignity.
Back over here from birdsite (thanks @ekansa for spurring me to look again). I was crossposting between both for a while, but that was probably just annoying for everyone. Still need to find a groove.
The tragedy of a stellar hair day before bike helmet.
Ah, Past Me, who decided to completely invent the format of this electronic/irl symposium. Who needs the easy way?
I am wearing swingy linen trousers in protest of this freezing precipitation.
It will feel so nice to *have written* this paper.
Crappy pic, but LOOK at all these beautiful baby leaves! Northern friends, spring is coming. Promise.
Will I ever not experience a wave of nausea when sending an email to a big listserv?
A curious 17th c site name, Wolfshave. Sounds like the makings for an unhappy wolf. Come to find out it was a transcription error. WolfSNARE. I'm a little sad to correct this.
Data folks: how do you document changes in taxonomy? We completely rebuilt our system and migrated lots of terms back in 2011, but there's no documentation, apparently.
There's a state records collection at Library of Virginia covering the 1927 "Division of History and Archaeology." It's taking all the will I have (aided by deadlines) not to go down there right now. https://at.virginia.edu/2Jkk9wy
My #SAA2018 hotel is 1.5mi from the conference hotel & not on an efficient transit route, so trying out a bike share pass. Excited! http://bit.ly/2EjMfV5
Just going to boot to Windows for the first time in 4 months real quick to do this one tiny thing LOLOLOL
Working on data from a big countywide archaeology assessment project. No big surprises, but marking all these sites as "destroyed" is a drag.
Wonder if I could convince them to give me a data cleaning/modeling sabbatical? I can dream.
On so many levels in love with this lava cameo (tuff, more accurately). Victorian, call to some invented Classical time. Why is she?

Pulling data for my upcoming 10 years of VA archaeology site file management anniversary dataviz tattoo...
One of the best smells in the universe is the flowers of a Daphne shrub. I will archaeologist-squat in our driveway next to this bush until these blossoms fall off.
