Bio/Research

Graham trained in Roman archaeology, but has become over the years a digital archaeologist and digital humanist. He recently won a SSHRC Insight Grant for a project called ‘The Bone Trade: Studying the Online Trade in Human Remains with Machine Learning and Neural Networks’. He is part of the multi-institution SSHRC Partnership Grant funded project, ‘CRANE: Computational Research in the Ancient Near East’. Graham’s sub-project involves using neural networks to complete archival photographs for photogrammetric reconstructions. He is also contributed to the SSHRC Insight Development Grant funded project ‘Nanohistory’, exploring graph-theoretic representations of historical events; his subproject seeks to reconstruct museum collecting histories using the nanohistory method. Most recently, he and his collaborator won a SSHRC Insight Development Grant to explore knowledge graphs and the antiquities trade.Graham also recently launched the XLab: Cultural Heritage Informatics Collaboratory.

He keeps an open lab notebook of his research and experiments in digital history and archaeology at his research blog, www.electricarchaeology.ca.

He is founder and editor of the open access journal, Epoiesen: A Journal for Creative Engagement in History and Archaeology.
