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:
“Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
—Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)
