Abstract

The EIMAWA Mission is made up of a multidisciplinary team that includes, in addition to egyptologists, the presence of experts from disciplines such as geomatics, forensic anthropology and radiology, but also archaeozoology, archaeobotany, chemistry and restoration, etc. Each excavation campaign ends with a huge mass of technical documentation that includes heterogeneous materials formulated by many different rese- archers. Precisely this heterogeneity of information has generated the need to adopt a centralized repository that would allow the management and extraction of knowledge from the data acquired during the excava- tions. For the organization, sharing and subsequent study a collaborative platform was modeled, thanks to the help of the IT experts of the mission created with open source software tools, which allows the storage and processing of the aforementioned data.
