Résumé
The aim of this research is to develop new methods of co-operation between cartographers and archaeologists by applying the latest developments instrumentation, surveying methodology and information management.
The proposal is based in two approaches. The first approach is to provide the archaeologist with precise digital maps and networks applicable to any excavation, by applying GPS and integrating it into the national and international co-ordinate system. We are working in the implementation of micronets for the mapping of the site area in scalesfrom 1/100 to 1/500, depending on the extent of the site. From these nets the archaeologists and their teams could make their work easier.
On the other hand, to represent the Archaeology phenomena in a geographical area, it is necessary to connect these nets with the national or international geodesy. The nets implemented in the Sharjah Project are analysed with regard to their accuracy and possibilities of the Method.
The aim of the second approach is to investigate the design and creation of mapping documents which contain the archaeological information in two different formats : digital format for multimedia interactive applications and hard copies for general use.
The New Cartograph models will enable the interpretation of the archaeological phenomena. The information has to be reconstructed and so new products are created. These new thematic maps could be given to visitors of the Museum or of the interpretation centre at the site. These documents could also support, in digital format, multimedia applications, and could be integrated into Internet web pages.
Finally, the research attempts enable the archaeologist to achieve the integration of the Archaeology phenomena in the environment, including them in the developing areas policies.
