Arc-Team Arc-Team 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), Arc-Team began to develop ArcheOS, a complete suite of specific software for archaeology. Other related project started in the following years (ArcheoThanatOS, DADP, ATOR, etc...)

Concepts Free Software: [...] software that gives users enough freedom to be used by the free software community. Specifically users must be free to modify the software for their private use, and free to redistribute it either with or without modifications [...] Open Source: […] Term coined in March 1998 following the Mozilla release to describe software distributed in source under licenses guaranteeing anybody rights to freely use, modify, and redistribute, the code [...]

(Archeological Operating System)
Tools (software) ArcheOS (Archeological Operating System) The first archaeology-oriented GNU/Linux distribution. It is freely released by Arc-Team under the General Public License (GPL). ArcheOS 1.0 (Akhenaton) was available for download in The current version, based on Debian, is ArcheOS 4.0 (Caesar).

(motion sensing input device)
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.

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

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

(Arc-Team Open Research)
ATOR (Arc-Team Open Research) The blog spreads tests, problems and results of Arc-Team research in archaeology, following the guidelines of the OpArc (Open Archaeology) project.
