What is the best GIS app for archeological survey?

Answer 1

That depends what you are trying to do.

If you are looking for field work integration with a front end to show your work, I would suggest esris Field Maps. You can integrate that with Survey123 to create forms and collect data. Field maps allow you to have feature layers but also allows for free hand markups as well. Everything can be processed in ArcPro or ArcOnline. Finally you can integrate the results with applications like HubSites, Experiences, or Story Maps to show people your accomplishments
