ARCS Mobile App vs ArchePal

ARCS, or Archaeological Research and Classification System, is an archaeological data recording platform with two primary functions. First, it increases the efficiency of archaeological specialists by supporting the transition from recording entry to recording review. It does so by providing an easy, fast, and non-intrusive way to automatically record and classify sherds. Instead of spending time on data entry for straightforward classification, specialists can focus their expertise on interesting and unique sherds and ask bigger questions.  Additionally, it supports data reuse through the large-scale digitization of non-diagnostic archaeological data in a comparable format.

ArchePal is a digital field companion designed to modernize archaeological data collection. By replacing slow, manual documentation methods with a streamlined interface, ArchePal allows researchers to focus on discovery rather than paperwork. Key Features: Digital Field Logging: Quickly record site data and artifact details on the go. Project Management: Keep your findings organized by site or excavation project.
