<pre>Dear all,
I hope you are doing well.
My name is Frank Herrmann and I work in the archaeological documentation unit of a German heritage institution (LWL-Archäologie für Westfalen).
We are currently evaluating to what extent QGIS can be used not only for GIS mapping, but also in workflows that involve structured excavation and find data.
Before making internal decisions, we would like to learn from the experience of the QGIS community, especially from people who have used QGIS in archaeological or heritage-related projects.
I would be very grateful for any insights on the following questions:
Do you use QGIS only as a GIS client, or have you also used it for documentation/database-like workflows in archaeology or cultural heritage?
Are there known limitations when using QGIS for long-term excavation documentation, metadata management or multi-user environments?
Do you have recommendations for combining QGIS with external databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/PostGIS, SQLite/Geopackage)?
Are there examples of archaeological projects where QGIS has been used successfully for both spatial and non-spatial documentation?
Any short response, experience, or recommendation would be extremely helpful for us.
Thank you very much in advance for your time - I truly appreciate your support.
Best regards,
Frank Herrmann
