Site Recorder 4 is a versatile and fully integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) and Information Management System (IMS) designed for use in maritime archaeology as well as freshwater and intertidal archaeology.  Site Recorder 4 is powerful, practical and easy to use.  The program has been designed by archaeologists for archaeologists so you don’t need to be a GIS expert to use it.
Site Recorder can manage thousands of finds, drawings, dive logs, photographs, video clips, documents and geophysics data – all the information relating to a project.  Items can be linked together allowing quick and easy retrieval for analysis and interpretation.
Site Recorder has been specifically designed for mapping shipwreck sites underwater and on land, for collecting information during fieldwork, as a finds database and for making archaeological site plans. Many separate programs previously used for data collection can be replaced by this one simple but fully-featured GIS.

There are still places available for the Flinders University-Western Australian Museum Conservation Field School (ARCH8802), September 19-23, 2011 held in Adelaide, South Australia.

This course is an intensive introduction to materials science, deterioration processes in marine environments, pre-disturbance conservation surveys, in-situ conservation and stabilisation, recovery, initial storage, stabilisation and transportation of artefacts, and the storage and display of conserved artefacts.  It is designed to provide participants with a general theoretical and practical background to archaeological conservation for both marine and terrestrial environments.  It should also equip archaeologists with the appropriate conservation knowledge and skills necessary for the effective management of submerged cultural heritage.  It involves classroom and field participation and does NOT require SCUBA certification.

The course is open to non-Flinders student for the cost of tuition. Credit for the course may be applied to home universities. This is a great opportunity for staff development training for current practicing professionals. For more details and to apply to the field school please see:
