A collaboration between the Texas Advanced Computing Center and the Institute of Classical Archaeology at the University of Texas at Austin has resulted in the development of strategies and a cyberinfrastructure model for the management and preservation of 1) primary archaeological data, 2) the process history generated as those data are analyzed, manipulated, and interpreted, and 3) the final interpretive results. This project draws on the concept of reflexive archaeology to map the lifecycle of archaeological research, and the evolving archive that such research creates, to provide a richer view of both data and process that will make it easier for the data to be reused and to evaluate the interpretations.
