COM.Geo - ArchaeoloGIS: using geographic information systems to support archaeological research

The archaeological study of the evolution of a city throughout history, due to the accumulation of cultural layers, is particularly complex because the archaeological site is presented with an overlay of traces that do not make feasible a single reading of it. This paper describes a geographical information system architecture to support archaeological research, where we use this type of systems to catalogue, to inventory and to allow navigation between these cultural strata in a simple, visual and organized way, and allowing spatial intersection of information to open new possibilities to archaeological research.
