CDLI Lingvodoc) systems support DIY corpora. However, such often paywalled, limited functionality, lack comprehensive user guides. With above mind, there seems be ready archaeolinguists who want use approach their study. They either make considerable effort modify an purposes, build one own. In conclusion, proposes ways address issues.
