ABSTRACT:
A new and useful method and apparatus are provided for collecting, recording and displaying data pertaining to artifacts in a time based fashion. The apparatus includes a data measurement device such as a GPS receiver or other measurement device for collecting data such as position information pertaining to artifacts, a memory for recording collected data and a user interface having an input for receiving recorded information such as qualitative information pertaining to artifacts from the user and a display for displaying the collected data as it is collected by a user. The user interface includes a time scale to associate the data collected pertaining to the artifacts with the time at which the data was collected providing a useful project management tool for the user as well as for management personnel supervising the user and for providing an accurate time based archival record of data pertaining to artifacts such as their location and physical condition.
