That sounds really fascinating. Where could an interested layman read more about your (and related) work?

I find it very hard to find material in that space, between the pop-culture "Check out These 10 Things The Ancient Sumerians Did!" (too vacuous) and expert journal articles (too deep, not enough context). In some areas Wikipedia rabbit-hole-trips serve well, but not always.

Totally agree, there are publications out there that are starting to bridge the gap. But really now more and more academics are taking to twitter and sharing their research in a more public way often with much of the field specific jargon tempered because of the platform.

I just published an article in an open-access book on digital methods in my field which is available here: http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/books/b97890...
