Extracted Abstract:

— Large collections resulting from archaeological excavations can present challenges for data management and analysis. Confronted with a new collection of approximately half a million artifacts, the Pointe-à-Callière Museum partnered with the Université du Québec à Montréal and the Université de Sherbrooke to incorporate complex data visualization into a web- based GIS platform. This partnership has helped transfer expertise from universities to the institution and created a system which the Museum can use to better understand the site and its components. Keywords— archaeology, geographic information system, data, management, visualization, spatial analysis I.
