| description | Recently, the idea of how to evaluate and share academic knowledge has advanced in the international scientific community, following the principles of open science. This paper focuses on characterizing the current state of archaeology in Córdoba and its adherence to FAIR principles, which state that archaeological data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. To do this, we analyze three aspects of regional archaeological research: spatial interpretation, temporal interpretation, and communication. The spatial aspect reveals a challenge in geolocating archaeological sites due to concerns about their protection and the lack of precise information, although 42% of sites have publicly available exact location data (out of a total of 2390 registered in the Córdoba database of archaeological sites [BaDaCor, in its Spanish acronym]). Regarding the temporal dimension, current historical-cultural models are insufficient, and the scarcity of radiocarbon dating makes it difficult to construct precise chronologies. In terms of communication and data storage infrastructures, the region has a tradition of archaeological publications and a growing interest in open-source systems to ensure open access to data. In summary, Córdoba's archaeology is consciously or unconsciously moving towards the adoption of FAIR principles, but it faces challenges such as site protection, improving chronologies, and implementing open-source systems for open data access. |

In summary, Córdoba's archaeology is consciously or unconsciously moving towards the adoption of FAIR principles, but it faces challenges such as site protection, improving chronologies, and implementing open-source systems for open data access. En los últimos años, ha avanzado en la comunidad científica internacional la idea de cómo analizar y compartir el conocimiento académico, en línea con los principios de la ciencia abierta. Esta presentación se enfoca en caracterizar el estado de la cuestión en la arqueología de Córdoba y su adhesión a los principios FAIR, que implican que los datos arqueológicos deben ser localizables, accesibles, interoperables y reutilizables. Para ello, analizamos tres dimensiones relacionadas con la investigación arqueológica regional: la interpretación espacial, la interpretación temporal y la comunicacional. La dimensión espacial revela un desafío en la geolocalización de los sitios arqueológicos debido a la preocupación por su protección y la falta de información precisa, aunque el 42% de los sitios (de 2390 registrados en BADACOR) tiene datos de ubicación exacta de carácter público. En cuanto a la dimensión temporal, los modelos histórico-culturales actuales son insuficientes y la escasez de fechados radiocarbónicos dificulta la construcción de cronologías precisas. En términos de infraestructuras de comunicación y almacenamiento de datos, la región tiene una tradición de publicaciones arqueológicas y un interés creciente en sistemas de código abierto para garantizar el acceso abierto a los datos. Resumiendo, la arqueología cordobesa avanza, de manera consciente o no, hacia la adopción de los principios FAIR, pero enfrenta desafíos como la protección de los sitios, la mejora de las cronologías y la implementación de sistemas de código abierto para acceso abierto a los datos. 2024-07-08 2024-08-02T01:30:36Z 2024-08-02T01:30:36Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.uncu.edu.ar/ojs/index.php/analarqueyetno/article/view/7513 10.48162/rev.46.041 https://suquia.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/handle/suquia/175916 spa https://revistas.uncu.edu.ar/ojs/index.php/analarqueyetno/article/view/7513/6567 Derechos de autor 2024 Andrés Izeta https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ application/pdf Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo Anales de Arqueología y Etnología; Vol. 79 Núm. 1 (2024): Dossier: Arqueología del Centro Oeste y Sierras Centrales de Argentina; 149-168 2591-3093 0325-0288 |
