Summary

In Chapter 1, we defined a network representation as a formal abstraction created for the purposes of visualization or analysis. Such network representations are created using network data. In this chapter, we define network data, its diverse types and data formats, and we give a wide range of examples of how it can be used to represent abstractions of archaeological data and relational theories. We conclude this chapter with best practice guidelines for how to go about collecting, documenting, storing, and sharing your network data.
