Mobile-GIS as a Solution for the Archaeological Survey – Evaluating QField Field Survey in Syria ('Āṣūr and Bjam'āsh)

QField is a mobile version of the desktop GIS program QGIS, customized for the Android platform. The expansion in the use of mobile devices that support the Global Positioning System (GPS) and data collection applications has led to the reliance on the digital recording mechanism, including the use of mobile GIS applications, as it provides broad access to visualization and recording tools, which makes decision-making and interpretation in the field more coordinated and comprehensive through the team. That allows applications to synchronize GIS-based fieldwork between the computer and the phone or tablet. Mobile-GIS eliminates the separation between data capture and a GIS.
