ArchEd The ArchEd Program is a tool for drawing Harris matrices which are used in archaeology. Beside its ability to edit such drawings it also contains an automatic drawing feature which redraws a given graph nicely.

ArcheoSurveyor Specifically designed for the needs of our profession, ArcheoSurveyor is a complete package for downloading, assembling, enhancing and saving the geophysical data from a range of instruments.

Arcview Addons (free) Code and/or executables presented at this site are freeware and may be freely used and distributed. However, they may not be incorporated into commercial products..

ARK - The Archaeological Recording Kit ARK the Archaeological Recording Kit is an opensource, standards compliant, web-delivered system for the creation, storage, manipulation and publication of archaeological data and media. Or in fewer words, it’s a system you can use to put your archaeological data on the web so that you can work on it and share it.

BASP 3D-Display From a set of irregulary spaced data points with coordinates in the plane, a smooth surface is to be fitted to these points. Typical content of a point might be a count of the number of types at that point, representing the local richness of each point, with the surface estimating the distribution of richness over the entire area. If the content is the value of the position in a seriation, then the surface might represent a prediction of chronological distribution over an area. If the content represents presence in a cluster, then the surface might show the scope of each cluster. Any data which can be entered into Winbasp and which contains coordinate information can be displayed as a colored contour plot, a meshed shaded contoured surface or a number of other variants. Contour diagrams of find abundances are easily constructed with the new three dimensional display program. Contours may also be filled with color and/or displayed as a shaded surface, if desired.

BASP Airphoto An estimated 5,000,000 images made since the 1920's in the European archives represent an enormous amount of data which may never be recaptured under controlled conditions. It is the goal of AirPhoto to deal with this kind of image within the limits of the data and the financial limits of most archaeological institutions and private investigators by non-photogrammetrists. AirPhoto provides a useful tool for archaeologists (and others) without large amounts of money to spend on user-hostile photogrammetric hardware or expensive software which will enable them to deal with a reasonable number of the many aerial images which have accumulated over the years using modest PC's and peripherals.

BASP CastCorrect Almost all color transparency films, color print papers and color negative films use a multilayer subtractive colour construction similar to that shown above. The uppermost layer contains a yellow dye whose density is proportional to the amount of blue light, the middle layer has a magenta dye with density proportional to green light, and the lowermost layer contains a cyan dye with density proportional to the red light during exposure. A yellow filter layer prevents blue and ultra-violet light from reaching the two lower layers. A positive orange masking layer is also usually present in modern colour negative films to correct for imperfections in the response of the cyan dye. All colour dyes have limited lifetimes since their molecules break down under the influence of temperature, light and reaction with adjacent materials in the layers in the film. The cyan dye which is responsible for the red colour in an image was especially unstable in films manufactured prior to new developments in the mid-1980's.

BASP posthole A program for finding and displaying rectangular structures in scanned excavation plans

BASP RadCor, A Lens Distortion Correction Modern camera lenses are relatively free of geometric distortion, especially so at focal lengths much longer than the film or sensor diagonal. However, there is always a small remaining amount even in the most expensive lenses. This corrects the distortion for perfect 'flat' images

BASP slides Very useful programme :: This is a simple presentation programme designed to emulate a carousel slide projector with image files. Unlike commercial products, it has a zoom facility to permit examination of details in a displayed image. It is free of charge and may be freely distributed, installed and used.

Bcal BCal is an on-line Bayesian radiocarbon calibration tool hosted by the Department of Probability and Statistics at the University of Sheffield. We offer an easy to use Web site that allows researchers from around the world to make use of an integrated framework in which to interpret both radiocarbon data and a priori chronological information.

Bryce 5.5 Optimized for even greater speed, Bryce 5.5 combines exceptional power with an innovative interface for incredible ease of use. A 3D landscape creation programme to take seriously.

CALIB CALIB Radiocarbon Calibration by M. Stuiver, P.J. Reimer, and R.W. Reimer, is an online radiocarbon calibration program. Downloadable versions are also available for Windows and Mac OSX.

CalPal Cologne Radiocarbon CALibration and PALaeoclimate Package. Designed for research on glacial C-14 age conversion (PC-WIN). By Bernhard Weninger and Olaf Jöris. *Only calibration using IntCal is standardized and internationally accepted.

Computer Applications in Archaeology Not so much software, but then again, an important part of applications in archaeology. CAA is an international organisation bringing together archaeologists, mathematics and computer scientists. Its aims are to encourage communication between these disciplines, to provide a survey of present work in the field and to stimulate discussion and future progress. Membership is open to anyone on payment of a nominal fee.

Digital Imprint Digital publication makes possible the inclusion of innumerable high quality photographs, charts, maps, sketches and diagrams as well as video records, audio comments and explanations, searchable databases, animations, 3-D models and architectural reconstructions.

eSkeletons Project The eSkeletons Project website is devoted to the study of human and primate comparative anatomy. It offers a unique set of digitized versions of skeletons in 2-D and 3-D in full color, animations, and much supplemental information. The user can navigate through the various regions of the skeleton and view all orientations of each element along with muscle and joint information. eSkeletons enables you to view the bones of both human and non-human primates ranging from the gorilla to the tiny mouse lemur. All of the large apes are represented as well as other species from different parts of the world. Many of these primates are rare or endangered species.

ExeGesIS - HBSMR HBSMR (Historic Buildings, Sites and Monuments Record) is a comprehensive database, GIS and photographic data management system for the historic environment. It has been developed by exeGesIS SDM in partnership with English Heritage and (ALGAO). Used for SMR data in the UK.

FieldMap FieldMap is a context-aware data collection and information access tool for use in field sciences such as archaeology.

FreeGIS The FreeGIS Project provides software overview on Free Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
