This portal gives access to archeological datasets edited online using instances of the archeoViz application. Each instance can be cited and is referenced in multiple repositories (HAL, BASE, etc.).
archeoViz is designed for spatialised data in archaeology generated during excavations and surveys. It allows to visualise a dataset, interactively explore it, and quickly deploy and communicate it on the web.
It offers interactive visualisations, can generate and export 3D view, cross sections and maps of the remains, can run basic spatial statistics methods (convex hull, regression surfaces, 2D kernel density estimation), export data to other online applications, and display the timeline of an excavation.
This app is distributed as an open source R package, with its code available on github.
archeoViz can be used locally on a personal computer or deployed on a server. It can be run statically with a specific dataset or dynamically by loading data through the interface, which is available in German, English, French, Italian, Romanian, and Portuguese.
