Submit-ready South Carolina site forms
in minutes, not days
South Carolina archaeological site forms are submitted to the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA), which maintains the official site file and assigns site numbers; data is served with the SC Department of Archives and History through ArchSite. FieldTap Report Builder turns the site form into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. South Carolina's is South Carolina site forms — a fixed PDF layout SCIAA expects to receive exactly as published. Generic field tools give you two bad options: rebuild the form by hand in their form builder (and still retype results into the official PDF), or pay for a professional services engagement to digitize each form.
Either way, every revision the agency publishes restarts the cycle. CRM firms end up paying for software and still doing the typing.
Import once. Map once. Done forever.
Report Builder is the only feature on the market that lets a CRM firm digitize a state's official PDF form themselves — no professional-services bill, no rebuilding the form by hand. Map the fields once and every record auto-exports a submit-ready SCIAA PDF for the life of your firm.

What SCIAA reviewers expect
- SCIAA — not the SHPO — maintains the official site files and assigns state site numbers; FieldTap supports placeholder numbers swapped on export.
- All site forms must be submitted to SCIAA before the final report is completed — FieldTap keeps records export-ready throughout the project.
- Coordinates must agree across the form, location map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most South Carolina CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
South Carolina SHPO FAQ
Does FieldTap export SC site forms ready for SCIAA?
Yes. You map the site form once and every record exports a fully populated PDF, ready to submit to SCIAA — no retyping.
Does FieldTap handle site numbering?
Yes. Crews record with placeholder numbers; once SCIAA assigns the state site number you update the record and exports refresh.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Recording, GPS, and photos run fully offline. Sync and export require connectivity.
Can we map our own SC form variant?
Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including internal QA forms.
What about GIS deliverables?
Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV come from the same record as the PDF, so coordinates and attributes always agree.
