Saving European Archaeology from the Digital Dark Age (SEADDA) is a community of archaeologists and digital specialists working together to secure the future of archaeological data across Europe and beyond.
Its objectives are:
Understand current state-of-the-art regarding preservation, dissemination and re-use of archaeological data in the form of a Europe-wide survey. Success measured by work to obtain survey responses representing at least 20 COST countries, collated, analysed and reported in an open access, peer-reviewed publication published in the final year of the Action.
Develop common understanding around international best practice for the preservation, dissemination and re-use of archaeological data, and establish the field as a priority area for research. Success will be measured through formation of sub-networks and practical surveys associated with the working groups, to be reported in three open-access, peer-reviewed publications.
Develop a range of research projects to solidify the priority research area, focussed on creating new international partnerships within the network, based on intellectual significance, feasibility, urgency, and availability of partners. Success will be measured through development of at least one funding application, featuring partnerships created within the network.
