Feedback on JOAD datasets: “I used the data published by Andrew Bevan and James Connolly in the latest issue of JOAD in an Archaeology and Material Culture class in KCL's MA in Digital Humanities programme… All in all, the ease with which the data could be accessed, its availability in CSV format and the clarity of the metadata schema meant that I had to put little effort into preparing it as a teaching material: it truly was plug and play. In fact I found myself having to warn the class that archaeological data is most often *not* available in such a user friendly format. The world would be a better place if more archaeological data were available in this way.” Dr Stuart Dunn Kings College London
