kareinaIs for a Senior Research Assistant in Digital Archaeology to work with the new
http://swedigarch.se/ database.
The job sounds interesting, and I love the short form of the project title: SweDigArch because of the multilingual shades of meaning one gets.
Swe for Sweden, of course, but I also see "sweet", as in that's a sweet project.
Dig for digital, or for "dig" the Swedish word for "you", because this project is being done for you, the one who will be using the database, or for "dig", as in what archaeologists do to uncover the artefacts, or for really digging into the data, but also in the sense of "I really dig this project".
Arch for archaeology, but also for the way this database builds an arch across disciplines connecting us with data, and includes (or will, in the fullness of time) all of the Swedish archaeological data under its broad-reaching arch.
But you know what I am really looking forward to asking them? How do they pronounce that short form of the name? What do they say when talking amongst themselves? Does it take the English or the Swedish pronunciation? Does Arch become Ark when spoken?
