How it works? A series of sheet manages the alphanumeric dataset

How it works? A geoDB allows you to manage topographical objects: sections, sites, projects, stratigraphic units, small finds, etc.

How it works? Through python routines you can transform any query into your data sheets into a G.I.S. visualization

How it works? Thanks to the power of Python, we can realize any routines that aiming to analyze our dataset

How it works? pyArchInit tries to introduce in G.I.S. world the Time-Factor: through a sperimental script we build a specific index to manage the position of any geometry in the temporal dimension, independently by the elevation

Thanks to an addon of Dom Lysz we can import the result of our analysis inside Blender (3D Open Source Software) 2 - Let's realize through

E' necessario creare un team indipendente con una scaletta ben precisa, in cui ognuno prenda il ruolo che sente di più nelle sue corde per ritrovarsi tra un anno con un prodotto forte e fruibile da tutti gli archeologi

Per costruire un software ogni singola parte è fondamentale:- grafica - debug- metodologia - documentazione- struttura logica - traduzioni- scrittura del codice - divulgazione e tanto altro

Possiamo costruire un software “completo”, fatto da Possiamo costruire un software “completo”, fatto da archeologi, per gli archeologi in un'ottica di apertura archeologi, per gli archeologi in un'ottica di apertura totale. Ma serviamo tutti!!!totale. Ma serviamo tutti!!!
