Hello all I'm fairly new to Arches, as I've joined a small project team to set up an Arches installation for Jersey Heritage (Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, near the northern coast of France). My career has been in IT and for some time now, I've worked for Information Services in the University of Nottingham, so on our Arches project, I'm the technical nerd! I'm happiest with Linux, MacOS and open-source software, so I'm finding Arches fun to work with. However, my academic background is in archaeology and I will be going part-time from the end of September to start a PhD here at Nottingham, looking at diet and mobility of animals and people in prehistoric Lincolnshire (from the Neolithic to the Iron Age). With Lincoln being fairly close, the "disco_data" example data for Arches includes several sites I know.
As I write this from my office desk, sunshine is streaming through the windows and outside, I can see a landscaped garden area between two blocks of our buildings. No heritage to speak of, although our King's Meadow Campus where I'm based used to be the old Carlton TV studios, so that's some sort of late 20C heritage of a sort. regards David On Thursday, 22 August 2013 16:29:37 UTC+1, Edmund Lee wrote: > > Hello all, ... and welcome in particular to those who have joined the > Arches Discussion Forum recently. > > This online group was initially set up for the project team, and has just > recently been opened up as the public, so some of us haven't met before. > How about we all share a bit of background, just like we would if we were > meeting in the real world?
