Archaelogical cataloguing and analysis software

Artificat provides simple methods to record the provenience and classification information for each artifact as it is determined. Artifact cataloguing is accomplished via a logical progression of input windows using buttons and pulldown menu choices. In most cases the user can add local categories to the pulldown menu choices. A variety of reports can be produced and printed directly or exported into most popular Macintosh word processing programs (ascii text). The provenience data can be used to generate site charts (both 2D and 3D) using other popular Macintosh chart/graphics packages. We recommend DeltaGraph Pro for mapping.
