A demonstration by Bruce Hartzler, IT Specialist at the Athenian Agora Excavations, American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
iDig is an innovative digital app that aspires to transform archaeological recording and analysis by enabling archaeologists to record excavation data easily, accurately, and consistently in real time. Both error-checking and on-the-spot analysis are empowered by interactive access to plans, photographs, and the records of previous excavation seasons. iDig was designed at the Athenian Agora by IT Specialist Bruce Hartzler. It has been used in the Agora for five seasons and is being adopted by more international excavation teams with every year that goes by.
