Scispot assigns unique IDs to samples, sub-samples, and aliquots, ensuring traceability from intake to analysis. The platform tracks readiness stages like “washed,” “embedded,” and “analyzed,” with detailed chain-of-custody logs to monitor who handled each sample and when. Samples are linked to stratigraphy, participant surveys, imaging outputs, and analytical results in one centralized archaeology database software.

Yes, Scispot integrates with a range of tools and instruments. Leica microscopes, for example, can connect via middleware or direct uploads to automate imaging workflows. Data from Fibermorph can be ingested and linked to sample records. Scispot also supports tools like GitHub for protocol management and Quartzy for inventory tracking. These integrations enable scalable archaeological management solutions, even in labs transitioning from older systems.

Scispot consolidates diverse datasets into a unified archaeology database software. Labs can link imaging files from Leica microscopes, participant survey data, and DNA analysis results to the same sample record. Metadata schemas can be customized to fit specific data types, such as stratigraphic layers or isotope analyses, ensuring seamless integration of interdisciplinary data.

Scispot is scalable and supports archaeology project management for labs with thousands of samples or multiple collaborators. It centralizes workflows, making data and protocols accessible across teams while ensuring role-based access for sensitive datasets. Real-time dashboards help researchers track progress, and automated task assignments keep multi-lab operations organized.

Scispot automates customizable reports tailored to stakeholders’ needs. For example, participant-specific reports can link survey data, imaging outputs, and analysis results. These reports meet compliance requirements while also aligning with the needs of research laboratories of archaeology, funding agencies, and peer-reviewed publications.
