This repo contains data and code for consolidation and mapping of the crowdsourced @micropasts Bronze Age Index

Consolidation of the @britishmuseum Bronze Age Index

This repo contains R scripts for consolidation of the British Museum's Bronze Age Index. These data were created through the efforts of our amazing crowd sourcing volunteers using the @micropasts platform.

During the project planning, we committed to depositing these data with the Archaeology Data Service at York University. This is part of the process.

Contents

This repo contains:

• R Scripts (generate plots, thank you list, consolidate data, create graphs)
• The data archives (zip folders from projects)
• CSV files of raw and consolidated data, thank yous and counts.
• GeoJSON files of consolidated data
• Plot folder - JPEG images of the maps of each BAI drawer; PNG graphs of contributions

Usage

To use these scripts, you will need to install R on your machine. Edit the working directory line in each R script file (all meant to be standalone) and then execute them. They will then create folders for containing the maps, plots, csv, zip files and json (geo and plain).

License

The scripts are under MIT. These data and maps are CC-BY.
