Better integration for archaeological data

Thanks to the increasing use of information technology (IT) in archaeology, digital data sets are constantly being created by individuals, research teams and institutes. An EU-funded initiative has helped integrate this huge but fragmented body of knowledge, thereby facilitating its use by scholars.

Archaeological data is scattered amongst a wide range of collections, journals, and inaccessible and unpublished fieldwork reports. Collating and sharing this information can help to create a new community of researchers eager to exploit the benefits of IT and incorporate it into established archaeological research methodology.
