This repo contains R scripts for consolidation of the British Museum's Bronze Age Index. These data were created through the efforts of our amazing crowdsourcing volunteers using the @micropasts platform.
During project planning, we committed to depositing these data with the UK Archaeology Data Service. This is part of that process.
This repo contains:
- R Scripts (generate plots, thank you list, consolidate data, merge data, extract Flickr data, create graphs)
- The data archives (zip folders from projects)
- CSV files of raw and consolidated data, thank yous and counts.
- GeoJSON files of consolidated data
- Plot folder - JPEG images of the maps of each BAI drawer; PNG graphs of contributions
To use these scripts, you will need to install R on your machine. Edit the working directory line in each R script file (all meant to be standalone) and then execute them. They will then create folders for containing the maps, plots, csv, zip files and json (geo and plain).
The scripts are under MIT. The data and maps are CC-BY.
