Advancing in archaeological recording and interpretation: The ArchéoDATA groups and entities

Daniel Arroyo-Bishop

«Archeologia e Calcolatori» 1994, 5, 237-255

Abstract

The author illustrates the structuring that was carried out for the development of the ArchéoDATA project with the aim of forming a basis for a more general Archaeological Information System. The conception of this project was undertaken from an archaeological perspective; the subsequent use of computers, and in particular the possibilities offered by GIS, enabled the enhancement of the system. The problems of basic information are also discussed, with an attempt to overcome the traditional concepts of site, finds and features by replacing them with the more general concepts of spatial and temporal entities and interpretative grouping.
