This serves as a great base to create a database for an archaeological excavation. This is based on research I conducted for my dissertation, with the data scrubbed. This will allow management of digital images, qualitative, and quantitative recordings. Additionally, it can be used in the field, using the Airtable app, as well as in lab research, managing data such as archaebotanical results. For the many excavations using Excel, your data can be easily imported and cleaned up to match this format. With data in this Airtable base, you are able to easily look up relevant info and, compared to more advanced and expensive databases, quickly add new categories.

Use your own recording system, but this is based on a system recording contexts as Site-Locus-Lot, with multiple possible bags from each context.

Happy researching.
