Archaeological Recording Kit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Archaeological Recording Kit (ARK) is a web-based, open source software package for recording and disseminating archaeological data.[1][2] ARK is primarily designed for recording excavations, but can also be used for archaeological surveys, palaeoenvironmental research and collections management.[3]

ARK is based on the LAMP stack and MapServer, and is free software released under the GNU GPL.[4] It was developed by L-P Archaeology, a British commercial archaeology practice.[5][6]

The Fasti Online project was built using an ARK back-end, and demonstrates its usage beyond normal archaeological recording.[7]
