CAPTURE survey on making and using archaeological data
https://doi.org/10.57804/fynk-v641
An online survey targeted to individuals who, according to themselves, had previously used and/or created, collected or deposited archaeological data (understood broadly, ranging from digital data to finds collections) was used to collect views of what information users think they need to know about data to use it effectively, and what data producers consider it to be important to know about their data.
