Conference paper on digital documentation
Conference paper on digital documentation of archaeological archives, presented at an international
conference in 2024. The paper reviews metadata standards for excavation records, including Dublin Core
and CIDOC CRM.
A pilot digitisation workflow is described: scanning at 400 dpi, OCR with Arabic language support, and
controlled vocabularies for periods and site codes.
The paper concludes that bilingual metadata, Arabic and English, is essential for regional accessibility of
archaeological knowledge.

Case studies include the retrospective digitisation of season reports from the 1990s and the linkage of field
photographs to trench records through persistent identifiers.
Quality assurance combines automated validation of controlled values with manual review by cataloguers;
error rates fell below two percent after the second iteration.
