Excavate.it gives archaeology teams a structured way to capture loci, artifacts, photos, and stratigraphic data — in the field, in real time, without losing anything.
Excavate.it replaces handwritten calendar notes and manual spreadsheets with a structured digital workflow built for how archaeologists actually work — in the trench, under pressure, with messy data.
