The ADAPT project addresses a critical challenge in archaeological data management: how changing theoretical paradigms impact the FAIRification and reusability of archaeological datasets. Drawing on three continuously excavated sites in the Czech Republic spanning from Neolithic to Medieval periods (Těšetice-Kyjovice, Pohansko, and Rokštejn), we will digitize comprehensive datasets collected across different political eras (1964-present) and analyze how theoretical frameworks influenced data collection methodologies. ADAPT introduces innovative approaches to archaeological data management by developing a theoretical context metadata layer that documents interpretive frameworks-a dimension often overlooked in technical FAIR implementations. By examining how political transitions (pre/post-1989) shaped archaeological practice in Central Europe, we provide the first systematic analysis of theoretical paradigm influences on data reusability in post-communist contexts. Our project directly integrates with EOSC-CZ infrastructure, specifically supporting implementation plans of the Archaeological Information System of the Czech Republic (AIS CR) and the emerging ArcheoVault repository. Beyond creating FAIR-compliant archaeological datasets, ADAPT will develop methodological frameworks for documenting theoretical contexts, produce cross-paradigm reusability assessment guidelines, and establish best practices for archaeological paradata documentation. These outcomes will significantly enhance archaeological data accessibility, strengthen European research infrastructures, and advance open science principles by addressing how theoretical diversity affects data interpretation and reuse-ultimately contributing to more transparent, accessible, and methodologically robust archaeological research across Europe.
