Description
-----------
+Ishtar is a database project for managing archaeological data and documentation (including archaeological finds) from archaeological operations, published as a free software under AGPL 3.0 or any later version license.
+
+The aim is to ensure maximum traceability of the information, in order to make this documentation live and make it even possibly accessible to the public or to user groups.
+
+This software is intended to be installed on a web server but can operate locally, at the scale of an excavation site, a town or an entire region.
+
+Designed to enable inter-database communication, the Ishtar project aims rather to a distributed information model than a centralized one: communication between the databases is favored.
+
+It is organized around a common core associated with modules linked to specific professional needs: administration of operations and inventories, archaeological warehouses, treatments related to restoration laboratories, advanced stratigraphic analysis, QR-code labeling, etc.
+
+Multiple levels of users are possible, from a public access (or not) to access for researchers, operations managers, warehouses managers, GIS connection, etc.
+
A full description of this project and news about Ishtar are available on this [website](http://www.ishtar-archeo.net).
+Contribution
+------------
+
+Ishtar is in constant development. Ishtar is a participatory project, so do not hesitate to share your needs on the [forum](http://forum.ishtar-archeo.net) and we'll see what we can do!
