Intrasis is an archaeological information system for recording and managing field data. It is developed by archaeologist for archaeologist at the National Heritage Board of Sweden. Intrasis is based on 12 years experience with digital field documentation within The Archaeological excavation department.
The system has been used for three years at about 700 excavations and at the moment it is used by 11 different institutions in Scandinavia. We will present how the system will make the fieldwork more efficient and how it easily can be modified for different kinds of excavations. It is object-oriented and therefore it will allow storage of almost any kind of data. The user-friendly environment makes it possible to start documentation with the system after just a few days training. Analyses are made in ArcView with the extended help of the provided IntrasisGIS extension.
At the workshop we will present the ideas behind Intrasis and show how it works in practice. We will let the attendants at the workshop use the system as well as gather data with totalstations with the Intrasis method.

Key words: Intrasite GIS-system
