Hi All,<br>I'm very interested in this topic (archaeological DB in ArcheOS). Yes, I still working on geoarcheological recording sheet and I can share list of field, SQL code and some documentation about it.<br>But I don't know if the Fabrizio's idea to use our github space to host the code/issues/wiki is already done or not.<br>
I think that the first step could be create this github space (if there is not) and use it to put in our ideas, list of fields, SQL codes, etc.<br><br>ciao ciao<br><br>Denis<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi All,<br>
looks like the discussion about an archaeological DB in ArcheOS is getting further. There are some messages also in our group on LinkedIN. Summarizing, the main problem still remain the structure of the DB, while almost everybody thinks that the best software solution is an SQL language with PHP GUI. It semms that most of the users had experiences with ICCD (Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione) specifications. Here are some of these indications (unfortunatley just in Italian): <a href="http://www.iccd.beniculturali.it/index.php?en/251/archaeological-heritage" target="_blank">http://www.iccd.beniculturali.it/index.php?en/251/archaeological-heritage</a><br>
Now i am also thinking that this could be a good starting point and maybe it is possible to try to make these recording sheets more international (with some necessary updates), so that they will be a little bit more sharable. I know that Marcus is right when he says taht this is a "kingsize" project, anyway let's say that is just an experiment. We can start with the most common recording sheets, like the stratigraphic Unit (that we compile every day), or the archaeological Site (a little bit less common for me). Personally i will start to try the Stratigraphic Unit of Covering, that i discover just today (i know i am ignorant :)) and that solve a problem i have in the project i am working on in these days (i used a normal Stratigraphic Unit instead, but these new - for me - Stratigraphic Unit of Covering fits better). I will try to compile these sheet and, if it is working good, i will translate the fields (and maybe the documentation, if the author will agree).<br>
Hope to post soon some feedback<br>
<br>
PS<br>
I know that Denis was working on a geoarcheological recording sheet, this could be a chanche to test it (i think that ICCD still did not prepare such a sheet. By the way looks like that the one for Anthropological finds is ready).<br>
