A modern, cross‑platform, open‑source application for comprehensive stratigraphic documentation and excavation workflows, developed by the German Archaeological Institute.

Tool

iDAI.Field provides archaeologists with a structured environment for recording all stratigraphic, spatial, and material information during excavations. As part of the iDAI.world ecosystem, it ensures compatibility with long‑term archival platforms, enabling seamless integration with databases, GIS, and publication infrastructures. Within StratiGraph, iDAI.Field contributes robust field‑tested methodologies for capturing stratigraphic units, features, contexts, and relationships. Its open-source foundation supports alignment with knowledge graph standards and facilitates the migration of legacy excavation datasets into semantically rich, interoperable formats. The tool’s ability to structure detailed excavation logs makes it an essential component for harmonising field data with StratiGraph's ready‑to‑publish workflows and ECCCH-aligned data governance.
