The Zip file contains another 8 different folders. In each one, you will find the images and charts from Skútustaðir’s Archaeological Reports (permalink to the reports: https://www.nabohome.org/cgi-bin/explore.pl?seq=3). Each folder corresponds to one report. File’s names are abbreviated. Please, see the attached metadata for a full understanding of the abbreviated names. These images and charts were produced as part of the creation of a dataset for my MPhil thesis. Project_files_metadata provides all the information necessary for understanding the Zip file (and its files)and the CSV. The CSV file contains the dataset created and used for my MPhil thesis. The project was carried out within the DataARC Project as an MPhil thesis. The thesis explores the creation of (archaeo-historical) knowledge using data within a general framework of Big Data. Human Ecodynamics is the paradigm which guides the DataARC Project. My project explores how to link grey data from archaeological reports into a general computational ontology developed for representing Human Ecodynamics by making use of multiple datasets.
