Abstract

Although much has been written about the use of information technologies for the management of archaeological resources at a national level, there has been little published discussion of the problems and opportunities that are apparent at the supra-national scale. In this paper, we consider the historical development and current state of database management systems and, more recently, geographic information systems in the management of archaeological information at a European scale. We review the development of archaeological inventories, from paper-based records to complex computer-based systems, and then consider the situation throughout Europe, taking account of archaeological needs as well as the administrative, social and political context. Our study reveals that, despite widespread acknowledgement of the advantages of such technologies, GIS has not been rapidly or consistently deployed. A very wide variety of systems and standards currently exists throughout the community, a situation which is explained through reference to the separate historical development of archaeological management structures in the different countries. We identify a number of common issues that recur wherever GIS has been applied to the management of archaeological inventories. Particular attention is drawn to historical and logistical issues, the availability of technological skills, geo-referencing, the spatial definition of the archaeological evidence and the definition of analytical concepts within archaeological management.

Bien que beaucoup ait été écrit au sujet de l'utilisation des techniques de gestion des ressources archéologiques au niveau national, bien peu de discussions concernant les problèmes et les possibilités apparentes au niveau supra-national ont été publiées. Dans cet article, nous passons en revue le développement historique et examinons l'état des systèmes de gestion ainsi que le développement plus récent des systèmes d'informations géographiques pour la gestion des informations archéologiques à l'échelle européenne. Nous passons en revue le développement des inventaires archéologiques depuis leur tout début jusqu'aux systèmes complexes sur ordinateurs et nous considérons la situation au travers de l'Europe, prenant en compte les besoins archéologiques ainsi que les besoins du contexte administratif, social et politique. Notre étude revèle que malgré l'avantage reconnu de telles techniques le déployement des systèmes d'informations géographiques ne s'est pas fait rapidement ou de façon cohérente. Une tres grande variété de systèmes et de standards existent actuellement au sein de la communauté des archéologues, une situation que l'on peut expliquer en faisant réference au développement historique séparé des structures de gestion archéologiques dans les différents pays. Nous identifions un certain nombre de problèmes communs qui se répètent partout ou les systèmes d'informations géographiques ont été utilisés pour la gestion des inventaires archéologiques. On met l'accent en particulier sur les problèmes d'origine historique et logistique, l'accès au savoir faire technologique, la géo-réference, la definition dans l'espace des données archéologiques et la définition de concepts analytiques au sein de la gestion archéologique.

Zusammenfassung

Zusammenfassung

Obschon viel über die Nutzung von Informationstechnologien zur Verwaltung archäologischer Ressourcen auf nationaler Ebene geschrieben wurde, hat man bisher nut wenig von der Diskussion über Probleme und Möglichkeiten die auf supranationaler Ebene auftreten, veröffentlicht. In diesem Beitrag betrachten wir die historische Entwicklung und den gegenwärtigen Zustand von Systemen zur Verwaltung von Datenbanken und die jüngere Entwicklung geographischer Informations-systeme bei der Verwaltung archäologischer Information auf europäischer Ebene. Wir halten Rückschau auf die Entwicklung archäologischer Inventare vom Verzeichnis auf Papier bis hin zu komplexen Computer-gestützten Systemen und berücksichtigen dann die Situation in ganz Europa, wobei die archäologischen Notwendigkeiten als auch der administrative, soziale und politische Kontext einbezogen wird. Unsere Studie zeigt, daß trotz der allgemeinen Anerkennung der Vorteile solcher Technologien, GIS nicht rasch oder konsequent eingesetzt wurde. Eine breite Variabilität von Systemen und Standards existiert gegenwärtig unter der gesamten Benutzergemeinde, eine Situation, die sich in Bezug auf die unterschiedliche historische Entwicklung archäologischer Verwaltungsstrukturen in den verschiedenen Ländern erklären läßt. Wir identifizieren eine Anzahl von allgemeingültigen Punkten, die dort wiederkehren wo immer GIS zur Verwaltung archäologischer Bestände eingesetzt wurde. Spezielle Aufmerksamkeit wird entwicklungsgeschichtlichen und logistischen Themen gewidmet, der Verfügbarkeit technologischer Möglichkeiten, Geo-Referenzen, der räumlichen Bestimmung archäologischer Nachweise sowie der Fixierung archäologischer Konzepte innerhalb der Verwaltung archäologischer Denkmäler.
