Archaeological Recording Kit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ark (Archaeological Recording Kit) is a kit of tools for collection, storage and dissemination of archaeological data. Ark is based on industry standard data technologies (Apache/MySQL/PHP/UMN Mapserver) and is opensource.

The key aspects of Ark are as follows:

  • user friendly
  • flexible and customisable
  • full spatial data integration
  • web based
  • open for export/import

It has been developed by L - P : Archaeology and is an opensource project designed to use web-based technologies to aid archaeological site directors to build their own customised archaeological recording system.
