Vázquez, S. G., Ivánová, I.: Spatial data collection for archeological purpose. Kartografické listy, 2006, 14, 2 figs., 7 refs.
Abstract: The article discusses methods of spatial data collection for the purpose of archeo-logical survey. What we intent to get is a collection of spatial data for representation of the current reality from archeological sites. The perfect interaction between GPS and GIS is helpful for this purpose, as it is possible to capture and process spatial data – for later analyzing it – in an easy and effective way. The research was done with the collaboration of the Archeological Institute of Slovak Academy of Science in Nitra, which works with the software environment using the final spatial data format. The dilemma of accuracy versus functionality was solved with respect to the purpose of spatial data collection. The advanced technology – GIS and GPS, as well as their improving interactivity, make the spatial data capture and processing an easy and successful task, with much lower time investment and getting good results.
