Too Many Bones: Data Management and the NABONE Experience

Management of Zooarchaeological data became a growing problem during the career of Brian Hesse and his early engagement with attempts to digitize recording systems needs recognition. This paper presents an account of attempts to respond to problems identified by Brian in the 1970’s, extending through multiple levels of technology and responding to the increasing volume and importance of zooarchaeological data in the past four decades. Brian’s influence on the NABONE data management system developed for the North Atlantic region is gratefully acknowledged.
