This project (MEDCEM) deals with the digital collection and presentation of medieval
cemeteries and it
is based at the
Archaeological Institute of the
Czech Academy of
Sciences
in Prague.
Currently it comprises three cemeteries from the 8th to the 10th century: Thunau
Obere Holzwiese from Austria,
Stará Kouřim from Bohemia and Pohansko
"Herrenhof" from Moravia.
All published information is provided online and can be explored via a digital
catalogue and within an
interactive map. Cartographic visualisations as well as charts and plots are created
dynamically based
on
real
archaeological research data.
It aims at providing a best practice way on how to disseminate archaeological
sources and research in
the
21st century against the background of digital humanities.
It is part of the OpenAtlas
project and entirely
build upon open source technology.
The technical framework of MEDCEM was a base for and is being actively developed
within the
THANADOS project.
