In Humanities, the exponential increase in digital documentation requires us to question its management, its use, its availability to the scientific community and its sustainability. In archaeology, these issues are even more crucial because they relate to non-reproducible primary data. In order to effectively retrieve, store, manage, prepare for analysis, and communicate the information and the scientific range of such amount of data, modern archaeologists should be able to deal with concepts and tools related to new technologies. Such digital competencies are not present in a standard archaeology background, though they are fundamental in order to effectively interact with ICT experts. The “R for Archaeologists” winter school aims for a fruitful combination of archaeology and statistics through the teaching of Data analysis, Data mining, and Data visualization techniques. It is conducted through R, programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics R. The large amount of data that are produced through archaeological work show a wide degree of heterogeneity, complexity, and interconnection, making the use of algorithmic methods unavoidable. R is one of the main programming languages of Data Science and includes a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques, including linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, spatial statistics, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, and others. The Winter School will last 60 hours and will take place from January 27th to February 7th 2020, at the Department of Civilisations and Forms of Knowledge of University of Pisa, Italy.... [-]

In the world, organizations generate, collect, store, process and analyze more and more data. We are facing an "explosion of the quantity available", since the growth of these is at least exponential. According to a study by Gartner, cited by Jaspersoft, the volume generated in 2009 alone was greater than that created in the previous 5,000 years (Jaspersoft, nd). Also in 2009, Computerworld, in its publication of the 10 most important trends in ICT management, stressed that "in the next five years, company data will grow an additional 650%."
