Archaeological Information System

An Archaeological Information System (AIS) is a specialized digital platform used to store, organize, and analyze data related to archaeological research. It consolidates information about excavations, artifacts, site locations, historical contexts, and research findings into a centralized database. This system enables archaeologists to manage their data efficiently, share insights, and support decision-making. By leveraging GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and other technologies, an AIS helps visualize spatial relationships and patterns across different sites, making it easier to understand past human activities and cultural heritage in a systematic and accessible way.
