Blogging Archaeology
Creating an Open Access Source for Knowledge
Scientific aspects of blogging
How do you know that my blog is reliable?
Bosnian Pyramid of Sun, Visoko, Bosna and Herzegovina
Bosnian Pyramid of Sun, Visoko, Bosna and Herzegovina
Bosnian Pyramid of Sun with its Founder
Semir Osmanagic`s book about the origin of the Bosnian Pyramid
Bosnian valley of Pyramids
Web site of the Bosnian Pyramid of Sun
Web site of the Bosnian Pyramid Foundation

Archeology seeks physical evidence
Still, the absence of available evidence that something does not exist is not
proof that the thing exists
Masterpiece of marketing campagne
Visitors of the Pyramids
Web site dedicated to the Bosnian Pyramid of Sun
Blog dedicated to the Bosnian Pyramid of Sun

Cultural heritage is always 'in'
How to differentiate between proper science and quasi-science?
How to establish the credibility of the content of a
archaeological scientific blog?
„Give me a couple of facts, and I'll construct you a truth.“
- Using other reliable sources- Logical analysis, often of multiple possibilities, including evaluation of probability of truth; - Presenting arguments from all conflicting sides of the debate on teh given subject, etc.-The scientist's own opinion/conclusion, refraining from claims of absolute certitude
Content
- Impersonal style: most scientists refrain from subjective references: there would be rarely any 'I' in the text. The style would approximate objectiveness. - Proper referencing of used sources (name of the author, the publication, year of publishing, publishing house, etc.)- Hyperlinks in e-texts leading to referenced data sources.- Bibliography- Clear non-ambiguous meaning of sentences.-Good spelling, absence of colloquialisms. Professional jargon accurately used.
Style and format:
Blogging science: create open access source for knowledge
Typical differences between printed archaeological journals and archeo web blogs

Archaeologists have been rapidly integrating new media technologies into their interpretive schemes through a variety of methods. Virtual worlds, social networking websites, blogs, wikis, and digital photo mash-ups are becoming legitimate alternate ways to present archaeological information.
Lower entry points for remixing photography, film, and databases into multimodal presentations increase the potential for archaeologists to use these media to tell their own stories. This, combined with a growing ubiquity of online media platforms, allows us to reach out to new publics by integrating archaeology into a greater social sphere.
Where lies the base of knowledge on Internet
Conclusion:
Knowledge is not just information
Scientific knowledge
Raw data
Human interpretation Analysis Linking of data
Transformation
Information into knowledge
Communication
Blogging
BLOG YOUR EXPERTISE
CREATE AN OPEN ACESS SOURCE FOR KNOWLEDGE
THROUGH
COMMUNICATION ON THE INTERNET
