Archaeological heritage recordkeeping in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The task of creating a record system of archaeological fieldwork and finds has emerged from the long-term history of the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS), Prague, which began to unfold in the year 1919. Historical circumstances have determined not only the need to create the system precisely in this institution but also some of its characteristics. In the course of preparations, it has been necessary (and this obligation still remains) to respect the organisational structure of the discipline, certain parallel attempts to structure the information flow in Czech archaeology by other institutions, previous data models, but mainly the legal framework within which Czech archaeology exists. The key problem of archaeological heritage recordkeeping in the Czech Republic results from the very fact that this task has never been required by law, nobody has been directly charged with it recently and, last but not least, nobody has been directly financially supported in order to create and maintain such a record system. The Institutes of Archaeology CAS record archaeological fieldwork as part of their research activities, albeit without the actual possibility to effectively enforce the supply of information. While the AMCR project has been influenced by the abovementioned conditions, it has also partially anticipated new legal provisions that may, in this respect, improve the current situation. At the same time, the AMCR project benefits from the fact that it is created at a research institution and aims to perceive archaeological heritage recordkeeping as part of a complex research infrastructure.
