Simplify your field documentation and log archaeological discoveries directly at the excavation site. As demonstrated in the utility named Artifact Scan, this mobile tool is engineered for field researchers, historians, and archaeologists to digitally catalog finds, evaluate scan qualities, and map spatial excavation data systematically.
Core Features & Mechanics:
On-Site Artifact Scanning: Capture precise visual data of your finds using your device's camera. The app runs real-time processing to evaluate data collection integrity, providing a clear Scan Quality percentage gauge upon completion.
Automated GPS & Coordinate Tagging: Ensure precise geographic tracking for every item found. With dedicated configurations like GPS Auto-Tag and Show Coordinates enabled, the system logs precise location data and capture times directly onto the item profile.
Detailed Contextual Forms: Build thorough descriptive entries instantly. Input essential archaeological attributes including Artifact Name, Category, Condition (Fair, Excellent, etc.), Site Name, historical summaries, and custom comma-separated tags.
Deep Field Analysis & Charts: Review aggregate project vitals from a single screen. Access visual charts—including bar graphs and donut charts—to monitor your dataset metrics broken down By Category, By Condition, and By Status (e.g., Pending Review).
Comprehensive Field Menu: Navigate your workspace smoothly using a structured sidebar drawer that provides rapid access to the central Dashboard, complete Catalog ledger, Map View, visual Analysis panels, and quick-access Field Notes.
System Configurations:
Data & Quality Controls: Customize your logging parameters inside the settings menu. Toggle High Quality Scan resolutions for maximum photo clarity, switch to Dark Mode for optimal outdoor contrast, or enable Auto Backup to preserve field logs directly to cloud storage.
