In February of 2012 a basic course was given at the Livelet Archaeological Park, in Revine Lago (Treviso, Italy), about free and open source software for archaeology. It was organized by members of the Studio Associato Sestante and Arc team and supported by the Archaeological Park itself. The express purpose of the course was that of providing an overview of the many possibilities offered by these types of software in the archaeological field, in order to introduce participants to an unknown world, both in the universities and at work. The analysis of the responses to a questionnaire given to the participants has produced very encouraging results.

A new didactic approach in open-source software was applied during the latest archaeological excavations managed by the University of Padua at the site of Montegrotto Terme (Padova). A team of archaeologists and students conducted the surveying activities and obtained good results.
