About Evidence Atlas
Evidence Atlas organizes field notes, photographs, and claims so that evidence stays traceable, structured, and accountable across every dossier.
We exist to bring researchers, storytellers, and responsible explorers closer to the data so that wonder is met with verification.
Mission & Vision
Our purpose and long-term direction.
Mission: To organize global archaeological evidence in ways that are transparent, traceable, and built for rigorous exploration — not speculation.
Vision: A world where evidence about ancient sites is discoverable, comparable, and debated with clarity, enabling researchers, travelers, and curious minds to advance understanding responsibly.
Core Values
Principles that guide our work and community.
Transparency
Everything contributed carries provenance — who, when, where, and how it was documented.
Responsibility
We protect sensitive locations, respect privacy, and discourage harmful practices.
Clarity
Structured claims separate evidence from interpretation to minimize ambiguity.
Operating model
How Evidence Atlas keeps credibility at the center.
Built by a small team and a growing network of contributors, we focus on rigorous documentation, responsible moderation, and continual calibration with the field.
We do not publish private identities by default; Founding Contributors can request verification pathways when they want to claim credit for their contributions.
