ArsDB is a prototype for a Document Management System for the archaeological record of Arslantepe (Malatya, Turkey). Its primary purpose, besides the conservation of different typologies of materials, is to provide scholars with an instrument capable of keeping track of the wealth of relations between the collected items, with the ultimate goal then of simplifying processes such as the information retrieval and the evaluation of new research hypotheses. The paper provides an overview of the operational choices for the design of an original digital repository, based on database technology (PostgreSQL), as well as on some of the individual steps that marked such workflow.
