Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic

Original language description

The Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic information system has been conceived as the backbone infrastructure of Czech archaeology. It combines a branch administrative application designed for archaeological fieldwork management with the comprehensive administration of the fieldwork results, including retrospective archaeological data collected since the late 19th century. The AMCR system works with a dynamic model of archaeological knowledge formation and is designed to hold the evidence from various phases of fieldwork activities: from research project articulation, through the description of archaeological fieldwork activities up to the analysis of their results and their linking to field documentation metadata. The AMCR contains a register of planned archaeological interventions and follows their progress to the submission of final information on their results within the excavation report. It creates an authority file of "fieldwork events" and gives them unique and persistent identifiers on which additional information can be bound, e.g. field documentation, bibliographic entries or even finds in museum collections. Links between authority records of various contents produce a complex network of specialized information. Besides its administrative function, the AMCR also aspires to play the role of a "national" archaeological database. With this intention in mind, the re-examination of the majority of existing data was carried out within the framework of the AMCR project, and these data were included in the authority list of fieldwork events and "sites". Records that have not been edited thus far and records of events that have not yet appeared in the database can be entered and edited by users in the future. Today, this form of crowdsourcing seems to be the only viable way to sort out the huge amount of data that have been collected (but not revised and gathered in one place) in the course of the 150 years of Czech archaeology.
