Data check

structuring the work:

• cross-check mortaar with Moghaddam et 2016. al & Anthropological 1962 (Setareh)
• cross check all the data table (Mirco)
• Collect the list of all graves (Marta)
• Check further literature (Julian)
• GIS? Putting it into a nice environment -> shapefile (Johannes, Susanne)
• Check further R packages / other data sources, combining data sets (Martin)
• Specific investigations about the finds will be done later (Martin-Kilcher 1975: Zur Tracht- und Beigabensitte im keltischen Gräberfeld von Münsingen-Rain (Kt. Bern))
• what we need in our plot_gallery: boxplots, ca, gini-index, inequality-plots

Split and work…

Continuing till next time

Next meeting: 04.06.2019

• pandas (https://pandas.pydata.org/)

Martin gives a short preview onto investigation of climate/population correlation test using the method of Kintigh/Ingram 2017 (DOI: 10.1016/j.jas.2017.09.006)

Next time:

Münsingen data presentation:

• first half: talk about structure and publication
  • What analysis
  • What form
• Second half: Split into Groups and work
  • Connecting Datasets
  • Producing first plots

Meanwhile:

• We all might like to contribute to the Plot Gallery
• Think about a logo

Website

• Mirco presented the updated ACA website
• Member listing (with link to github, or else?)
• New navigation bars (news, etc.) and links (github, etc.)
• Github wordpress plugin
• Bibliography of ACA members related to computer stuff

Zenodo group

• Zenodo ACA group was created (by Mirco)
• Small tutorial how to add ones own article into zenodo ACA group

R plot gallery

• Introduction to Rmarkdown
• Walktrough preprepared teneray plot script
• Walktrough preprepared seriation/CA script
• Tryout spiderweb plot (version problems)
• Density-frequency histogramm in ggplot now works (y=..density..)

Topics for the next meeting

• Plotting in python
• Seriation of material with predefined breaks/with a priori knowledge (creation of a sophisticated R package -> lates 07.05.2020 …hope dies last)
• Next big thing: create a reproducable research paper on the muensingen data set for Bern working papers (several hacker space ACA meetings for creating plots, texts and the .Rmd file)

New repository on github -> plot_gallery

Collections of R-scripts (codes) to produce nice plots 😉

Everybody can contribute see example ternary_diagram https://github.com/archca/plot_gallery

next meeting 30.04.2019
