Abstract :
The broad adoption of diagnostic and analytical techniques in the field of archaeology, presents a unique opportunity for e-Science in the form of scientific explanation, drawing from methodologies aimed at recording, archiving, analyzing, and disseminating, rich data collections. This paper presents a needed stepping stone towards cyber-archaeology, creating synergy between information technology and archeology, by introducing a data acquisition, tagging and characterization pipeline.
