Realm 1: Field Survey and Site Collections
User Collection
- Creator:
- Galaty, Michael
- Description:
- The PASH Data Collection is comprised of Five data “realms”: 1) Survey and site data, 2) Settlement excavations, 3) Tumulus (burial mound) survey and excavations, 4) Artifact analysis, and 5) Geological data. All databases, field notebooks, paper maps, GIS files, photographs, and photo descriptions related to the intensive survey, of tracts and tumuli, and the collection of sites have been made available in PASH Deep Blue Data Realm 1 (this sub-collection)., Over the course of five years, 11 field teams (Teams A–K) surveyed 2530 tracts in Shkrel and Shtoj, covering 16.1 km2. Survey data were eventually collapsed into six geographic zones (1–6). All tracts were surveyed using standard Mediterranean survey methods. For each tract (recorded consecutively by team letter and a number, e.g. A-001, A-002, etc.), surveyors walked at 15-m intervals and counted all tile/brick, ceramic fragments, and small finds. We conducted a full-coverage survey, meaning that all land forms—including fields, hills, and terraces—in each survey zone were surveyed, unless the landowner objected or the vegetation was so dense as to render survey impossible. Each tract was photographed and a GPS point at the center of the tract was obtained. Photos and photo descriptions were maintained in separate databases by each team. Information about tracts was recorded by hand in notebooks by team leaders. This included data about a tract’s soil, geology, ground cover (plants growing in the tract, crops planted in the field), associated structures, associated archaeological features (including tumuli), informant testimony, visibility, and, most critically, artifact counts. , and Realm 1 is divided into two sub-collections: Survey Data and Site Data. Both sub-collections are organized by data type. Survey data includes Tract photos and Photologs, Survey maps, Spatial data files, and a Collection Unit (CU) survey database. Site Data includes the Site database, Site documentation, Site photos and Photologs, and Spatial data files.

Realm 5: Geological Data
User Collection
- Creator:
- Galaty, Michael
- Description:
- The PASH Data Collection is comprised of Five data “realms”: 1) Survey and site data, 2) Settlement excavations, 3) Tumulus (burial mound) survey and excavations, 4) Artifact analysis, and 5) Geological data. All of the geological data from cores and auger holes have been made available in PASH Deep Blue Data Realm 5. , Much of the work conducted by PASH took place on a geomorphic feature we call the Shtoj alluvial fan. Geological research was done along the distal margins of the Shtoj alluvial fan in the fringing freshwater wetlands of Shkodër Lake. Field reconnaissance in 2010 consisted of drilling twelve 5-cm diameter auger holes across the fan to a maximum depth of 4.8 m. A composite sediment sample was collected every 0.3 m during drilling. Between 2012 and 2014, sediment cores were taken at four wetland locations on the southeastern shore of Shkodër Lake. North-south trending core locations were selected following results of samples collected during the 2010 reconnaissance and are 1 km east of the Shkodër Lake shoreline. Twenty-two cores, ranging in length from 0.24 m to 0.87 m, were taken from four sites using a 6.3-cm diameter polycarbonate piston corer. , and (See readme in Geological Data record for full documentation; Chapter linked to: Chapter Two).

SHIFDR: Sub-metered HVAC Implemented For Demand Response
User Collection
- Creator:
- Lin, Austin and Mathieu, Johanna
- Description:
- The Sub-metered HVAC Implemented for Demand Response (SHIFDR) dataset is a massive dataset that captures the response of individual commercial building HVAC system components to demand response events. The dataset includes device-level power consumption during demand response events as well as during normal operation. We have organized the data into subsets, with each subset containing data from buildings in different parts of the world. Kindly refer to the README file within each subsection for specific information about how data is organized. Please reach out if you have data that you would like to share, find any mistakes in the data, or have any questions. We are always trying to improve SHIFDR.

- Description:
- Data were collected while developing a management plan for eliminating nuisance algal blooms in a chain of reservoirs along the Huron River in southeastern Michigan. Federal funding was provided by both the U.S. EPA and the USDA. The river-reservoir system is used for municipal drinking water, wastewater disposal, irrigation, industrial processes, hydroelectric generation, sport fishing, and recreation. The impoundments episodically developed surface scums of cyanobacteria, contained microcystin toxins, and emitted foul odors including hydrogen sulfide. Past management strategy had focused on external phosphorus loading but failed to prevent nuisance conditions. Data collection and analysis pointed to the overwhelming role of internal nutrient loading and resulted in a series of whole lake experiments that destratified Ford Lake during summer and eliminated the nuisance conditions.

- Description:
- This research introduces a novel method to produce biomimetic shapes using low cost soluble 3D printed molds. Mesenchymal stem cells in alginate matrix cell viability was studied. The alginate stem cell structure is made in a construct that is 21 mm wide, 6 mm high, with an arbor diameter of 1 mm (see Combined_Test_Channels.stl). The cells showed 64% survivability at 7 days in the 3D constructs.

- Description:
- Building on previous research (Cuyler, A., Carruthers, M., Imbesi, J. 2023. “Cultural Policy of the Oppressed” [Data set], University of Michigan - Deep Blue Data. https://doi.org/10.7302/9e20-zg88), we performed a qualitative textual analysis of three related areas of oppression, colonialism, expansionism, and imperialism, and how they have been discussed within cultural policy research. The analysis focused on three major cultural policy journals, Cultural Trends, the Journal of Arts Management, Society, and Law, and the International Journal of Cultural Policy.

- Description:
- As part of the Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL) project, the aircraft measurement platform sampled downwind of flares in the Permian and Eagle Ford regions of Texas (2020) and the Bakken in North Dakota (2021). Estimates of methane destruction removal efficiency are calculated for each airborne intercept of a flare combustion plume based on the observed enhancements of carbon dioxide and methane, along with assumptions about the flare gas composition. Locations provided are the GPS coordinates for the aircraft sampling, not of the upwind flare infrastructure on the ground. Attempts to link the airborne sampling locations to ground infrastructure using the provided wind information (measured at the aircraft), should take care to account for complexities of transport in the atmosphere.

- Description:
- A folder with photos taken of each site. These are JPEGS. Some photographs (e.g., S004) are labelled with site number, date taken, and an appended ID number in consecutive order (e.g., S001-060610-001 = Site 001, June 6, 2010, Photo 001 from Kratul i Madh). Others are labeled generically. ID numbers were repeated at each subsequent site surveyed, beginning again with 001. Some site photos are accompanied by a photolog, while others are not. The photolog typically lists each photo taken of a site in order by photo number, with a description.
