description Reverse Archaeology is a digital method useful for rebuilding an old excavation from its documentation. It mainly involves passing data from analogical sheets to digital feature/tables or from older sources to new and open-source formats.

What will be presented in this paper is a new assessment, with some other examples and a larger theoretical support, toward the creation of a community and a practical manual.
