the electronic submission of standardized datasets of cultural resources and
inventories. Updates
to the original Entry System are now available. From the downloads section of
the AZSITE web page, copy both the Entry and the Template2k. Instructions or
listed in the downloads page.

submitted electronically using the Data Entry Module listed above. At the
submissions page fill in the form, submit it, confirm the submission is
correct and then "drag and drop" the folder containing the data you wish to
submit from your computer to the ftp site. You will have to resize the screens
on your computer monitor so you can see both directory on your computer where
the folder you are submitting is located AND the open ftp site that you are
submitting the data to.
