  2. Scientific aspects of blogging How do you know that my blog is reliable?

  3. Bosnian Pyramid of Sun, Visoko, Bosna and Herzegovina

  4. Bosnian Pyramid of Sun, Visoko, Bosna and Herzegovina

  6. Semir Osmanagic`s book about the origin of the Bosnian Pyramid

  12. AIA`s letter to UNESCO More information on this case is available at: http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/osmanagic/update.html

  13. Archeology seeks physical evidence Still, the absence of available evidence that something does not exist is not proof that the thing exists

  14. Masterpiece of marketing campagne

  15. Visitors of the Pyramids

  16. Web site dedicated to the Bosnian Pyramid of Sun

  17. Blog dedicated to the Bosnian Pyramid of Sun

  18. Facebook group supporting Bosnian Pyramid

  19. Metablog – APWR (Anti Pyramid Web Ring)

  20. Cultural heritage is always 'in'

  21. How to differentiate between proper science and quasi-science?

  22. 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.“

  23. Content • - 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

  24. Style and format: • - 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.

  25. Blogging science: create open access source for knowledge

  26. Typical differences between printed archaeological journals and archeo web blogs Printed archaeological journalsAcheo websites and blogs Printed Electronic (Limited) (access in any time) Subscription on line  Free Rigid discussions Flexible Static information Dynamic  Updated

  27. Dynamic interface of blog allows: Active sharing  Blogger exchange  Reader   Personal perspective Ideas Analyses Opinions Experience Commentary Conclusion  dynamic scientific debate  Internet community  interactivity shapes the knowledge into science

  28. My web blogs about archaeology

  29. William R. Caraher – archaeologist and blogger

  30. Blogging Archaeology and the Archaeology of Blogging

  31. Problem wtih blogging Archaeology Ephemeral of the blogs

  32. Is the Blog a New Tool for New Thinking?

  36. World Archaeological Congress (WAC)

  37. Archaeology in the Digital Age 2.0 BLOG

  38. Colleen Morgan, Anthropology Department, University of California, Berkeley 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.

  39. Conclusion: Where lies the base of knowledge on Internet

  40. Knowledge is not just information

  41. Scientific knowledge  Raw data    Human interpretation Analysis Linking of data  Transformation  Information into knowledge  Communication  Blogging

  42. BLOG YOUR EXPERTISE CREATE AN OPEN ACESS SOURCE FOR KNOWLEDGE THROUGH COMMUNICATION ON THE INTERNET
