About ArchSite – Archaeological site recording scheme

ArchSite is operated by the New Zealand Archaeological Association (NZAA), in partnership with Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and the Department of Conservation. NZAA is a registered charity with members in New Zealand and overseas.

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.

For more information about site recording and interpreting site records, you can view the NZAA Site Recording Scheme Handbook and Site Interpretation Guidance..

You can search for sites using our free public map viewer >
You can also request information about sites >

Apply for access

ArchSite contains site descriptions and information about the location, type and condition of sites. There may also be scanned historical site record forms, photographs and site plans for some sites, which are being progressively added to the system.

The database is in the process of being migrated from the ArchSite V2 platform to ArcGIS Online (ArchSite V3). While this process continues some functionality is not yet available in ArchSite V3. Access to ArchSite V2 and V3 will be available until the migration is complete.

There are different levels of access to ArchSite and search and subscription fees apply. All users must agree to abide by the conditions of use.

Public access

Free access to view site locations and NZAA ID to a scale of 1:50,000. For more precise locations, site details, and information about the fees for a data search contact the ArchSite Coordinator.

Viewer Access
