Skills Training and Workshops
Whether as an individual, organization, or group, we offer a range of training and workshops for statistical analyses, GIS mapping and field recording, chronological modelling, lithic analysis and figure production.
All training is done using open-source and free professional software, that is both used extensively by professionals and academics across the world, but also compatible with standard paid-for services, such as Adobe Suite and ArcGIS.
See below for some brief examples.
We need to emphasize here that outside of personally advocating for their utility, we are in no way affiliated with the development, distribution or production of any software mentioned.
01: GIS
QGIS and QField
QGIS is a powerful tool used across the world and by numerous government agencies for displaying, mapping and analyzing spatial data.
Qfield is a robust and flexible field-recording software with built-in functionality with QGIS.
See The QGIS website for more information.

Statistical Analyses and Chronological Modelling
We also offer guidance or training in any of the software we use to perform our own statistical analysis and chronological modelling.
Our favorite general purpose analytic software is
"Paleontological Statistics' or PAST developed and maintained at the University of Oslo, Norway
See link here for download and manuals.

We also use 'R' Software packages* (R: The R Project for Statistical Computing) and 'OxCal'**(ORAU - OxCal) for analysis, calibration and modelling of chronological data.
