Abstract
In this paper, a system for the visualization and entry of 3D stratigraphic layers into a new Geographic Information System (GIS) based on the varying and sometimes incomplete records of the field archaeologist is presented. This paper presents a computer-based system that allows for incomplete and ambiguous data, indicating problems associated with this entry and shows how inaccuracies are represented so that later misinterpretation is avoided.
