This article presents the results of an archaeological archive research project. Field recording documents from the Rivaux site in France which was excavated from the 1970s to the 1990s were exploited. After digitising a set of field notebook pages, the author developed an application called Archeotext which enables these documents to be transcribed and georeferenced. Some of the results obtained show new ways of exploiting this type of archive by using certain methods and techniques from the digital humanities.
