A Long-Term Digital Partner for you

Select the option that best describes your work. We'll guide you to a solution built for your needs.

State Authorities

State Authorities

You safeguard heritage across an entire territory, with a stable team and a rising workload.

Corporate / Commercial Firms

Corporate / Commercial Firms

You deliver excavations against tight deadlines and need clean, compliant data without the post-excavation drag.

University

University

You combine research and field training, with student cohorts that change every year and data that must stay citable for decades.

Why It Matters

Built for archaeologists in the field, lab, and office: a fully connected
system that keeps data, analysis, and media in perfect sync.

Save time

Save time

A lot of it in post-excavation

  • The transcription evenings are over: data is entered once, in the trench.

  • Errors surface while the trench is still open: Harris matrices in one click, inconsistencies flagged immediately.

  • Post-excavation starts already done: data is structured, linked, and queryable the day the site closes.

Better-structured data

Better-structured data

Adapted to your methodology

  • Everything is linked. Units, structures, finds, photos and drawings are recorded once, connected everywhere.

  • Built to scale: handle an unlimited number of excavations, from a single trench to multi-year projects.

  • Every object keeps a permanent ID and a complete history, so its context is never lost, from field to museum.

One unified platform

One unified platform

Everything you need, in one place

  • Forms, map, drawings, Harris matrices, publication: one environment, one login.

  • One live database, with everyone recording at once in the field, office and lab. No duplicate numbers, and the master plan updates while you dig.

  • One continuous flow, from the first trowel stroke to the published report.

All features, one platform

Drawing Tool

Drawing Tool

CAD-precision vector drawing in the browser: georeferenced, layered, and linked to your records. Runs on any tablet, right in the field.

Harris Matrix

Harris Matrix

Your stratigraphic relationships become an interactive matrix in one click, with impossible connections flagged while the trench is still open.

Reporting & Publication

Reporting & Publication

From first draft to live web publication: authors, reviewers, and editors work on the same document. No Word files, no lost versions.

Data & Infrastructure

Data & Infrastructure

We run the servers, updates, and backups. You keep full control and can download every byte of your data yourself, at any time.

Search at Every Scale

Search at Every Scale

Intervention, site, territory: data entered once in the field can be searched at any scale, from a single find to a regional overview.

Staff & Access Control

Staff & Access Control

A secure account for each user, with rights set per excavation. Every change is tracked and attributed to its author, from field to publication.

GIS & Maps

GIS & Maps

The map lives with your records: every point appears as it is entered, every geometry opens its form, and the team sees the site take shape.

Photos & Drawings

Photos & Drawings

Every image is a record, linked to the units, structures, and finds it shows. On import, the AI reads your ID boards and sorts the photos.

Why ArcheoBase?

Why ArcheoBase?

We adapt to the way you already work

We don't change how you work. We improve it. Your forms, your vocabulary, your methodology, made digital.

Everything is managed for you, so your team can focus on archaeology rather than IT.

Know More

You talk directly to the people who build ArcheoBase: training, data migration, and answers from a team that knows its archaeology.

Excavations close; their data shouldn't. Open formats, full export at any time, and archives that stay queryable for decades.

Built around real archaeological workflows and field experience.

TESTIMONIALS
“

On large-scale excavations, we had the experience last year of using ArcheoBase on a site of over two hectares with different sectors, sometimes involving up to 30 people on-site.

In commercial archaeology, speed is everything. We have been using ArcheoBase for a year now, and the system has perfectly streamlined our fieldwork data.

Digitization is immediate; data is saved in real time, which is very reassuring. I no longer have to worry about data backups, particularly when working on excavation sites abroad, where I previously had to travel with all the paper forms.

I am currently working on a doctoral thesis at the University of Zurich. The main advantage of ArcheoBase is having access to all the excavation data of the site. 3,500 structures and 2,500 postholes were recorded. Each structure record in ArcheoBase always has its links, which gives me really easy access to the data and then efficient post-excavation processing of it.

Everything is in one place, and everything is flexible. If it was recorded, with ArcheoBase it isn't lost. You can't say the same about old-fashioned systems.

My concern, from the standpoint of the long-term sustainability of our work, is that one day so many archaeological perimeters will cover the territory that the archaeological service, with its stable resources, will no longer be able to handle all the archaeological operations that need to be carried out.

ArcheoBase is highly adaptable: it can be customized quickly to the specific recording logic of different excavations while keeping the structure coherent and user-friendly.

Using the software on tablets in the field enabled us to reach a higher standard of documentation, integrating photography and drone products with real-time recording. We managed to excavate in multiple areas simultaneously without any problem. We highly recommend ArcheoBase to any field archaeologist.

A small revolution in the world of Swiss archaeology! Researchers can now find in a few clicks all medieval burials discovered in Switzerland, a task that would have taken several days with the paper yearbooks.

A quantum leap for research: CHRONIQUES online allows multiple kinds of search: systematically by term, on a map or by photo. Researchers and the general public thus gain a tool that, alongside user-friendly open access, offers for the first time a powerful search instrument for a previously unmanageable volume of data.
