Developed as a preliminary proof of concept project, iAKS is specifically designed to take advantage of web services and Web 2.0 technologies and platforms in order to create a robust, scalable, extensible, stable, and reusable system that solves many of the data collection, data archiving, and data analysis problems encountered by archaeological projects. The ultimate goal of iAKS is to create an interactive system that archaeologists can use not only to collect, archive, and analyze excavation and artifact data, but also to access and visualize data remotely from anywhere in the world.
