Abstract
This paper demonstrates how Oxford Archaeology North have successfully adopted open source geospatial software, in particular the desktop GIS packages gvSIG and Quantum GIS (QGIS), in an active move away from proprietary mapping software such as AutoCAD or ArcGIS. Open source GIS has been successfully applied for the visualisation and analysis of archaeological survey data, proving extremely capable of handling 2D and 3D vector and raster data. Oxford Archaeology have successfully introduced the use of open source illustration software, Inkscape, for the editing of vector maps and the production of high-quality publication-standard illustrations.
