In recent years the interest in the use of computer-
aided Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in archeology
and history has increased. In contrast to traditional
printed maps all information in a GIS-based map is linked
to certain information contained in a database. By using different
layers combined with thematic maps and specific
SQL-queries on the data stored in the databases each user of
GIS is able to create new maps according to personal interests.
“Hassia Exploranda”, a project being developed in
Marburg, uses the wide range of applications GIS provides
to visualize the remains of Roman presence in the area of
the German federal state of Hesse. The aim of this project is
to design a GIS that can be used mainly by teachers and pupils
to learn about Roman presence in Hesse by creating
their own maps (e.g. showing all locations of a special
date). Furthermore it can be helpful for the planning of lessons
and for preparing trips to archeological sites.... view less
