Archaeological Recording Kit (ARK) is a collection of web-based tools for collection, storage and dissemination of archaeological data. Ark is based on Apache HTTP Server, MySQL, PHP and MapServer, and is free software.
It was developed by L - P : Archaeology to allow archaeological site directors to build their own customised archaeological recording system. It is designed to be flexible and customisable, with full spatial data integration and open for export and import of data.
The Fasti Online project was built using an ARK back-end, and demonstrates its usage beyond normal archaeological recording.
Famous quotes containing the word recording:
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
