Abstract:
This review investigates two software packages developed to assist with the recording and analysis of archaeological excavations. ArchEd from the Max Planck Institut für Informatik at Saarbrücken in Germany (<url> http://www.mpi-</url> sb.mpg.de/~arche/), has been developed for Windows 95/98/NT from the Bonn Seriation program (see also 96/889 & 96/969--70). Version 1.0 is available for free download from http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/~arche/StartPage.html in the form of a 1.1mb self-extracting archive. The user guide (in MS Word format) is available as another 290KB download. Installation, which follows normal Windows conventions, is fast and trouble free. The second, StratiGraf 1.1 for Windows, operates on the following Platforms: Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98. It is available in English, Spanish and Catalan. Its technical requirements are a Pentium II 266 MHZ processor or higher, 32 Mb RAM, SVGA resolution. StratiGraf is an `advanced documentation and interpretation system for archaeologists' from Proleg DPC of Balaguer, Spain. It is a commercial program priced at 560 Euros for a first licence plus 94 Euros for each additional licence (14 Euros for educational use). A demonstration version limited to thirty stratigraphic units can be downloaded from http://www.proleg.com/index.html. Both provide facilities for the automatic production of Harris matrix style diagrams from stratigraphic relationships. ArchEd limits itself to this single function whilst StratiGraf, incorporates its matrix-drawing capabilities into a full excavation recording database.
