Adam G. Anderson

Dr. Adam G. Anderson is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Digital Humanities. Serving on the Academic Advisory Board for Digital Humanities at Berkeley, Anderson is co-author and designer of the Theory and Methods curriculum for the DigHum Minor. His work brings together the fields of computational linguistics and archaeology to quantify the social and economic landscapes emerging during the Bronze Age in the ancient Near East. His work shows how networks of internally related archives provide a means of mapping and modeling the overlapping data sets from ancient texts and modern archaeological records, in order to explain the hierarchical roles and positions of individuals and groups within society.
