The Archaeological Computing Laboratory (ACL), a subdivision of the Graphics and Imaging Laboratory (GRAIL) in the Computer Science Department at Montana State University, specializes in archaeological applications of computer technology. Four areas of research and development will be discussed (1) an integrated multimedia field-to-publication data management system, (2) a relational database, (3) image processing, and (4) graphics applications Keywords database, graphics, image processing, archaeology computerized map generation, multimedia, visualization.
