Abstract

Considering the problems in archaeological data recording and analysis, the Department of Informatics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) in collaboration with AUTh's Department of History and Archaeology in the framework of the SOCRATES-MINERVA SEEArch Web project has developed a system for recording multiple excavations driven by GIS services, based on a flexible multimedia database. The system provides all its services over the Internet. Its innovation lies in the fact that it is promoting a generic template supporting data from different excavations while older implementations were custom made for the specific method implemented in each excavation. Emphasis is also given to the development of instructional models organizing the existing educational resources of the system.
