GRASS GIS is used in many archaeological projects.

Georeferencing of point clouds: get your data from an arbitrary coordinates system into real world projections: v.rectify. It also perform 3D transformation (affine and polynomial). Working even with very large point clouds (several million points in a few minutes).
