Spatial Exploration of ArcHaeological Objects in R Shiny
microTRI is a R Shiny free open-source script dedicated to the record of small vertebrate archaeological and palaeontological remains.
It makes it possible to record easily small vertebrate remains with taxonomical and taphonomical information,
ssociated with field data information. It makes also possible to visualise quick information recorded by levels, square or spit.
This is an open and free software,
microTRI has an easily accessible interface, allowing to record data in Excel
files (XLS respectively). The application includes functions to
visualize premiliminary data as Bioclim estimation, rarefaction curves, taphonomical proportions.

Install R and optionally Rstudio Desktop to have a more comfortable R environment.
-
Install the
microTRIdevelopment version from github:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("AurelienRoyer/MICRO-TRI")Load the package and launch the microTRI application:
library(microTRI)
setwd("path_of_your_directory")
microTRI()-sidebarpanel : acquisition
-
Create a database
-
Record the information -first : click on "new bag" to open a windows allowing to enter information of year, sector, ID, square, spit, level and US. -second : enter the information of the remain (species, anatomy, number of remain, completeness, observations, marks ... -third : click on "new line" to record it. possibility of modify the last recording by clicking on "previous", to developp a table to show the records,
the panel "table" allows to have a look of the table, to search information, to delete row and to modify a cell
-sidebarpanel : exploration To realize quick exploration of the data. With the sidebarpanel, it is possible to select a variable and to select the modalities desired Different exploration are available : pivot table, digestion ratio, bioclim estimations ...
-sidebarpanel : note allow to record global notes of the observation and (not yet but soon) to export it
-05/2025: Bioclim Graph have been added.
-05/2025: exploration of data: possibility to changes ratio according to levels or US
