RAPTOR is a geo-database built for the management of the archaeological administrative procedure of the Superintendencies. The system allows the recording of any kind of work carried out in any geographical context and the mapping of the archeological outcomes so that the archaeological maps can be constantly updated. A set of the archaeological data recorded in the system can now be freely accessed on the map by external users; archaeologists in particular can see full information of the archaeological sites. In order to support preventive archaeology, a new section of the system currently allows to map the preventive archaeology investigations and to obtain automatically the vector data of the archaeological sites within the project areas. Moreover, RAPTOR enables now to record and show the plans of the archaeological phases of each single site or urban context; on the other hand a new specific section is dedicated to the drawing of the areas of archaeological potential.
