Resum

Purpose The aim of this paper is to study the data management practices and perspectives of archaeological researchers in the Spanish region of Catalonia. Data management is becoming increasingly challenging for archaeological research as the data grow in volume and complexity. As a result, it is also a crucial issue and a priority for the discipline. Design/methodology/approach The data have been collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with Principal Investigators of archaeological research projects at Catalan research institutions (n = 14), analysed using a qualitative content analysis method with a mixed coding framework developed mostly with themes identified in the literature. Findings The findings show that current practices are based on a sensible DIY approach. The resulting systems work well for the projects’ data needs but are far from the best practices. A general lack of data literacy is evident from the answers of the interviewees and the practices described. Finally, the role of intervention reports is considered crucial, not only for knowledge creation and communication but also as data backups. Originality/value Few studies have been conducted on archaeology researchers’ data management practices, and even fewer have used interviews as a methodological approach. The focus of this analysis sheds light on the current situation of a clearly defined but insufficiently researched community of practice (archaeology researchers in Catalonia), and therefore assess its needs, challenges and future prospects.
