We use the tools of the digital humanities to understand the historiographical and intellectual trajectories of computational/digital archaeology. We employ topic models fitted against a number of journals from approximately 1940 to the present day. The topic model browsers below use Andrew Goldstone's dfrbrowser. The papers were downloaded from JSTOR's DFR site. Let's crowdsource our observations of patterns in this data. Here's an open shared google doc for that purpose.
This is a work in progress.
20 000 articles from the English speaking world, from about 1940 onwards
This journal begins in 1974 and is available in JSTOR DFR to 2007
We fit the topic model from 1940 to 2010 (the latest date available in JSTOR DFR)
We fit the topic model from 1940 to 2012 (the latest date available in JSTOR DFR).
We fit the topic model from 1940 to 2012 (the latest date available in JSTOR DFR).
Here, we use Mimno's jslda browser; the Internet Archaeology papers were the open access ones before they went fully open access in October 2014.
