In the world of today, regarding the increasing number of threats to archaeological sites and the complexity of problems that are faced, management of archaeological sites has become one way to ensure their conservation. An important aspect of managing an archaeological site is to evaluate the information on the site and to suggest methods for the proper management of information. Especially in archaeological sites where excavations are continuing, new information is reached continuously and is added to the already existing data, which can be in forms such as plan drawings, inventories, photographs etc. The decisions made during the management planning of a site and those that will be made in the following years depend on the available information on the site, thus, employing wise, systematic means and having a holistic approach in collecting, classifying and disseminating all the information on the site is critical. Therefore the importance of information management increases in providing the optimum circumstances for understanding the site. In this respect, utilization of computers and other digital media are all the more favoured. Within this framework, current circumstances in an archaeological site in Turkey can be discussed to evaluate conditions for the sustainability of the site.
