Archive report: Çatalhöyük Archive Report 2007

As the Çatalhöyük Archive Report 2007 is online as a large PDF, I've copied my report below [update – and added the PDF to Humanities Commons at https://doi.org/10.17613/3n8z-9z11]. In 2007 I'd worked with the team during the off-season (i.e. when people aren't on site digging) and on-site. Being on site meant providing general IT and network support (and dealing with occasional oddities like a spontaneously combusting monitor) while working on requirements analysis and database development in the lab. I also contributed to the Çatalhöyük blog during the 2007 season.

Archive report: Çatalhöyük Archive Report 2006

As the Çatalhöyük Archive Report 2006 is only available online as a large PDF, I've copied the report below [update: and put the PDF on Humanities Commons at https://doi.org/10.17613/2shn-2v07], but you can find additional reporting of my work in specialist reports like the Figurines report. I also contributed to the Çatalhöyük blog during the 2006 season.

Report: The Tony Dyson Archive Project: Report of a pilot study investigating the creation of a digital archive of medieval property transactions along the City waterfront

A write-up of some requirements analysis and database work I did for a pilot with the Museum of London Archaeology Service on digitising an archive of  medieval property records of the parishes (mostly Hustings Rolls, the records of the medieval Court of Husting).  The report is co-authored with Nick Holder and Nathalie Cohen.

2004: an overview

An incomplete, retrospective list of work, talks and more in 2004…

Site discussion

I went out to work on-site at the Çatalhöyük Research Project near Konya in Turkey for the first time. Some of my work is documented in reports including Figurines and the Çatalhöyük 2004 Archive Report Database and IT, and some general background to the database and IT work we did on site is in Some of the history of the Catalhoyuk database.

I also gave a paper on 'The development of the Ceramics and Glass website' at the Ceramics and Glass Seminar, November 18, 2004 (Powerpoint slides), Mortimer Wheeler House, London.
