MIS Case for Use in Archaeology

This chapter presents a business case for use of a Management Information System in the domain of archaeology, aiming to specifically unify existing practices and models to assist archaeological excavations from all practical perspectives: reduce time, minimise costs, improve personnel recruiting and assignments, et cetera. The work goes through experiences gained from the planning and implementation of an ambitious research venture aimed at developing a visually enhanced, unified access to data, information, processes, and the related content of archaeological excavations in situ. Such content is distributed among various excavations all over the world, thematically related, providing access to archaeology visitors, students, and archaeologists (practitioners, professionals, academicians, and researchers).
