Abstract

The paper proposes to use CIDOC CRM and its extensions CRMsci and CRMdig to document the scientific experiments involved in archaeological investigations. The nature of such experiments is analysed and ways to document their important aspects are provided using existing classes and properties from the CRM or from the above-mentioned schemas, together with newly defined ones, forming an extension of the CRM called CRMas.
