Abstract

The Superintendency for Cultural Heritage and Activities of the Autonomous Region of Aosta Valley (Italy), has recently created a new concept information system for the ordinary management of the archaeological and related documental patrimony. ArcheoTRAC is a multi-contextual and interdisciplinary methodological tool, envisioned by field experts to promote and simplify the daily management and recording activity. The system proposes a new and alternative approach which “excludes” cataloguing as a first step in the recording process. Its main aim is to identify every archaeological entity and track its life-cycle. ArcheoTRAC is an open source web application, UMTS/HSDPA and Wi-Fi, which can be supported by different combined technologies as bar code, RFId and control access. This paper discusses the management conceptual model and its innovative methodological approach, the use of which can be greatly expanded by resorting to the open source.
