The themes of the archaeological research nowadays often reconstructing the spatial aspects of history and culture. Device Geographic Information System (GIS) is clearly greatly assist the process of archaeological research both in the field and during the process of analysis and presentation of information related to the results of the research. GIS has become the main choice for researchers to update the development of archeology that have been all-digital, practical, and effective. Although the use of GIS in archaeological research is very popular in many countries, in fact the use of GIS in archaeological research in Indonesia is still not that popular. This paper presents the use of GIS tools that allowed to be applied by archaeologists that can be adopted in the analysis and presentation of information and research results, conditions of application of GIS in the current archaeological research, as well as the constraints faced.

Perangkat Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) jelas sangat membantu proses penelitian arkeologi baik di lapangan maupun saat proses analisis dan penyajian informasi terkait hasil penelitian semacam itu. SIG menjadi pilihan bagi peneliti arkeologi dalam mengikuti perkembangan dunia riset yang serba digital, praktis, dan efektif. Walaupun penggunaan perangkat SIG dalam penelitian arkeologi sangat populer di banyak negara, namun kenyataannya penggunaan perangkat SIG dalam penelitian arkeologi di Indonesia belum cukup polpuler. Penelitian ini menyajikan penggunaan perangkat SIG yang memungkinkan diterapkan oleh peneliti arkeologi yang dapat membantu dalam proses analisis dan penyajian informasi hasil penelitian, kondisi penerapan perangkat SIG di dalam penelitian arkeologi saat ini, serta kendala-kendala yang dihadapi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dewasa ini perhatian peneliti arkeologi di Indonesia terhadap peran SIG cukup terbuka mengingat kebutuhan perangkat analisis spasial yang efektif. Pemerintah juga menaruh perhatian akan pentingnya SIG dalam memetakan data spasial Cagar Budaya dan Lokasi penelitian arkeologi dalam rangka mendukung percepatan kebijakan One Map Policy atau kebijakan Satu Peta.
