What is Archaeology? ar-chae-ol-o-gy or ar-che-ol-o-gy: 1 archaic: ancient history 2 : the scientific study of extinct peoples or of past phases of the culture of historic peoples through skeletal remains, fossils, and objects of human workmanship (as implements, artifacts, monuments, or inscriptions) found in the earth 3 : remains of the culture of a people ar-chae-ol-o-gist or ar-che-ol-o-gist: specialist in archaeology (abstracted from Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language Unabridged. G.& C. Merriam Company, Publishers. Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 1976. p. 111.) But contrary to popular belief... We don't do dinosaurs, or aliens We don't go around like Lara Croft or Indiana Jones We usually take more than 3 days over a dig
Commercial archaeology Legal Requirement in the UK Demanding requirements (lots of data, high-level analytical requirements, difficult working conditions) ...but... financially unattractive market © Oxford Archaeology
Oxford Archaeology Approx 400 staff 3 UK offices 2 French offices Founded in 1973
An open approach Open access to data Open standards for file formats Open source software

Data Layer PostgreSQL/PostGIS on servers SQLite/Spatialite on mobile devices Cross-Platform database synchronisation
Mid Layer: Map Servers Convert data to web services Style data Convert to different coordinate systems Allow google indexing of data
Desktop GIS
Web-based GIS
Against... Convincing clients and colleagues TCO considerations Changing workflow
For... Greater software access for staff More opportunity for training Diversification
