ArchSite is an online database that contains information about recorded archaeological sites in New Zealand. ArchSite uses GIS (Geographic Information System) technology to manage and display information on maps. It is the national database of archaeological sites in New Zealand. The information is used for research, site management and protection. There are currently over 70,000 sites in ArchSite.
