Site RecorderAn Introduction to Site Recorder 4 GIS


Site Recorder

A Geographic Information System

• ‘Can integrate and manage large and diverse data sets’

• ‘Is capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information’

• ‘Can be used as a tool to aid the recording and preservation of cultural heritage sites by collecting together and presenting site information in an integrated and meaningful way’

• Is a big bucket of spatial data


Site Recorder

Requirements

• Records data from a generic maritime or intertidal site

• Allows integrated recording in 2.5 dimensions

• Simple - easy to learn and use

• Scalable - survey to excavation

• Secure electronic publishing

• Allows data exchange

• Records associations between objects

• Minimise cost

Show what is known in context

• Known wrecks

• Targets - Side-scan, magnetometer, profiler, stories, fishing snags

• Survey areas

• Coastlines, contours, buoys

• Documents

• Images• Photographs, video

• Geo-referenced raster

• Import wreck and target data

• Define survey areas

• Import coastline and contours

• Link to documents, images

Site Recorder

1. A wreck site had an excavation trench defined by the bulkheads of the carpenter’s cabin

2. In the trench was found the lid of a box

3. Below the lid was found a box, the lid found earlier was the correct size to fit the box

4. Found inside the box were a chisel and a mallet

5. Also inside the box was the ‘ghost’ of a cloth bag, no cloth remained just a different colour sediment

6. Inside the ‘bag’ were found 10 identical copper nails
