“FieldTap cut our post-field data entry time in half. The AS-series forms match our exact workflow, and the offline mode is rock-solid in the backcountry.”
Sarah M.
Field Director, Southwest Archaeology LLC
“We switched from Wildnote and saved over $8,000 per year across our team. The SHPO-compliant exports alone are worth it — no more reformatting spreadsheets.”
James R.
Principal Investigator, Basin Cultural Resources
“The photo management features are a game-changer. Auto-captioned photo logs that used to take an hour now take five minutes. My crew actually enjoys field recording now.”

Project Archaeologist, Pacific Heritage Consultants
Built for Archaeological Data Security
ARPA site confidentiality, NAGPRA sensitive data controls, Section 106 documentation, and 36 CFR 79 curation standards are not add-ons — they are the architecture.
Site Location Confidentiality
GPS coordinates and georeferenced photos are access-restricted by default — never publicly accessible. Compliant with ARPA Section 9 and NHPA Section 304.
NAGPRA Data Protection
Four-level sensitivity classification with database-enforced access controls. NAGPRA-flagged records are invisible to all users except PIs.
Immutable Audit Trail
Append-only audit logs that cannot be modified or deleted. Full chain-of-custody documentation for ARPA compliance and federal permit review.
Encrypted & Hardened
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, signed URLs for photos, HSTS, and row-level security on every database table.
