[How to Read for History W. Caleb McDaniel](http://wcm1.web.rice.edu/howtoread.html)

Do not get hung up on things you do not understand

ditto for digital history’s tech curve (Curated by shawn.graham)


[Looking Back on the Backwards Survey W. Caleb McDaniel](http://wcm1.web.rice.edu/looking-back-on-backwards-survey.html)

also helped me refine the rubric slightly by revealing phrases that were difficult for students to understand and suggesting places where I needed to say more explicitly things I had taken for granted

I really like this idea of iterating through the rubric with the students. Pulling this off not for the faint of heart I suspect. (Curated by shawn.graham)

y position as a tenured, academic archaeologist provides a distinct professional context for slow archaeology. My efforts to develop slow archaeology come from a position of privilege. As an academic archae-ologist, I rely on his research for professional advancement, but not professional survival. Tenure provides opportunities for a more delib-erate pace toward publication

while this is good to recognize, I think it underplays the rhetorical weapon we hand folks by insisting on ‘slow’ archaeology. Oh those out-of-touch professors! Also, the vast majority of archaeologists do not have this luxury. (Curated by shawn.graham)

No highlighted text found.

the elephant here I guess is that we don’t discuss archaeology’s long history with spatial computing, which is where folks like Huggett see a point of intersection. https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/41636599.pdf

(also:

sicists are not so distinctive as to warrant a separate “classical informatics”. Both Terras (2010, 187) and Rabinowitz (2011) see digital classics as more of an emergent field still in its early stages, while Cayless (2011) describes it as an underground movement, with some very high-profile projects and practitioners operating within a more generally hostile attitude towards digital ways of knowing (Curated by shawn.graham)
