Open Access Jounal: Egyptian GIS Center Newsletter

GIS Center Newsletter
Egyptian Minister of State for Antiquities (MSA), Geographic Information System Center
The GIS Center was founded to improve SCA's ability to protect and manage archaeological sites. This goal was achieved by creating a system for identification of the location and characteristics of archaeological sites and to record them in a searchable GIS and database. The information is then transferred to targeted stakeholders, which enables them to take the existence and significance of these sites into consideration in all conservation, land management and planning, and related socio-economic activities. 

Data collected for archaeological sites are: (1) archaeological data, including history of the sites, archaeological elements, excavation records, threats; (2) legal data, including ownership status and documents, and (3) digital maps containing site locations and background maps. 

Archaeological and legal data are entered into a bilingual database which facilitates viewing, editing, searching and reporting data, while maps are stored on the GIS server.

The GIS Center periodically issues newsletters to keep stakeholders, collaborators and interested parties informed of recent achievements and work progress, institutional development, and archaeological news.

You are welcome to view or download these newsletters.

Tell Sabi Abyad Project

Tell Sabi Abyad

In the late 1930s, Agatha Christie (indeed, the best-seller crime author…) and her husband, the archaeologist Max Mallowan, travelled through Northern Syria, on the road from Chagar Bazar to the town of Raqqa on the Euphrates. During their trip they visited the barren plain of the Balikh River and both of them were highly impressed by the archaeological richness of the region and its many ancient sites.
 
One of Max’s "whacking great Tells" was Tell Sabi Abyad, Arabic for “Mound of the White Boy”. Since 1986 archaeologists carry out large-scale excavations at this site. The results are spectacular: 9000-years-old prehistoric villages are exposed, as well as a Bronze Age fortress with hundreds of cuneiform texts.  
 
This is the official website of the archaeological project at Tell Sabi Abyad in Syria. Its aim is to provide information about the goals and results of the excavation and about the different aspects of the research being conducted at Tell Sabi Abyad.
 
Tell Sabi Abyad is a project of Leiden University and the National Museum of Antiquities.
We are renewing this website. Please be patient.

The Online handbook for OCHRE: An Online Cultural and Historical Research Environment

OCHRE: An Online Cultural and Historical Research Environment
by J. David Schloen and Sandra R. Schloen
November 2012
ISBN: 978-1-57506-264-8
THIS book describes an “Online Cultural and Historical Research
Environment” (OCHRE) in which scholars can record, integrate,
analyze, publish, and preserve their data. OCHRE is a multiproject,
multi-user database system that provides a comprehensive
framework for diverse kinds of information at all stages of research. It
can be used for initial data acquisition and storage; for data querying
and analysis; for data presentation and publication; and for long-term
archiving and curation of data. The OCHRE system was designed by
the co-authors of this book, David Schloen and Sandra Schloen. The
software for it was written by Sandra Schloen.


Although OCHRE was originally designed to facilitate cultural
and historical research, it can be used equally well in other academic
disciplines. It has a highly generic and flexible structure that can
accommodate any observations and conceptual distinctions a scholar
might make. Thus, it allows researchers to retain their own terminologies
while integrating their data with data recorded using quite
different taxonomies...
