ArcTeam
ArcTeam is a company which provides professional archaeological services.
Its team has almost 10 years of experience working with Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS).
In summer 2003, with the OpArc project (Open Archaeology), ArcTeam began to develop ArcheOS, a complete suite of specific software for archaeology. Other related project started in the following years (ArcheoThanatOS, DADP, ATOR, etc...) www.arcteam.com

Tools (hardware)
Kinect(motion sensing input device)
The hardware is equipped with an RGB camera and a double infrared sensor (projector and camera).
In 2010 the society Prime Sense released the driver with an open source license, allowing users to hack Kinect.

Tools (hardware)
RepRap(selfreplicating 3D printer)
The project is community driven with the aim to make a low cost, selfreplicating rapid prototyping machine “freely avalaible for the benefit of everyone”.

Data
ArcheoTanatOS
The project started in 2007 to share archaeological data, with a particular attention to thanatology. It was possible thanks to the collaborations with Nicoletta Pisu (Sovrintendenza Archeologica di Trento).

Knowledge
DADP(Digital Archaeological Documentation Project)
The project is an attempt to share knowhow related with computational archaeology. The tutorials come from the experience of Aramus Excavations and Fieldschool (University of innsbruck)
