2. Collaborations

Users/collaborators should be specialists on any consensual group of decorations (Paleolithic rock-art, Iron Age stelae, etc.). We will:

a. inform them
b. propose a master class
c. propose different training(s)
d. propose a congress session/round-table
e. work to get a publication

A. Information {#info}

contact mail and schedule a master class

mail subject:

R package iconr - An open source computer-based method to study ancient iconography

mail body:

Dear Colleague,

We have the pleasure to introduce you the first version of the R package iconr.

The iconr package is dedicated to Prehistoric iconography modeling and analysis. Grounded on graph theory and spatial analysis, it aims to offer concepts and functions for a greater normalization of quantitative analysis, to facilitate cross-cultural comparisons. The main principle of the package is to consider any iconographic composition (here, 'decoration') as a geometric graph of graphical units. Geometric graphs -- also known as planar graphs or spatialized graphs -- allow to model the neighborhood of these graphical units which are the fundamental relationships of visual semiotics.

The first version of the package has been recently uploaded to the CRAN. A brief description of the package has been published on the Journal of Open Statistical Software (attached here), and online documentation is already available:

The next iconr release will integrate shape analysis of graphical units, tree-like structures for graphical units thesaurus (multi-linguism & shared vocabularies), use of directed acyclic graphs (DAG) to model the graphical units' superimpositions (ie, Harris matrix).

To promote the package utilization, we have schedule a first presentation on ZOOM (duration: ca. 45 minutes), the xx/xx/xx at 16:00 UTC. During the presentation, We will explain how it works and what are the expected outcomes (40 minutes) and respond to the audience questions (5 minutes). We will be very happy to meet you at this moment. If you are interested to participate, please conserve the following information

If you cannot be present, but you are interested by the package or the presentation, thank you for letting us know. The presentation will be recorded and available on a video platform.

B. Masterclass

Online masterclass to present the iconr package and schedule training(s) (open dates with Doodle)

  1. Geometric graph heuristic

  2. Graph analysis indexes (degrees, same edges, etc.)

  3. Case studies

C. Training

C.1. R and RStudio basic knowledge

Tutorial on R and RStudio install and basic functions

C.2. Data entry through a GIS

  1. Create graph decorations on GIS

C.3. iconr package

Datasets presentations/Training to use the iconr package:

  1. Read, plot and compare graph decorations

  2. Further analysis

D. round-table

After the training, people are supposed to have used iconr on their favorite dataset (i.e. a selection of decorations). We will propose them to present their results in an oral communication in the frame of a round-table. Depending on the size of the decoration they have proceed, each used could choose between:

  1. 3 + decorations: qualitative analysis
  2. 7 +decorations: semi-quantitative analysis (ie. rank-based, non-parametric tests: Mann-Withney, Spearman, etc.)
  3. 30 + decorations: quantitative analysis (ie. mean-based, parametric tests: Shapiro-Wilk, Student, etc.)

The aim of the round-table is to find the appropriate way to compare heterogeneous decorative contents (by periods, families, themes, techniques, etc.)
