IT activities in connection with the Roman Frontiers’ international archaeological conservation

Two thousand years ago the frontier line of the Roman Empire ran from today’s Scotland, across the Continent along the Rhine and Danube Rivers, to the Middle East, and across North Africa. The remnants of the frontier can be found in several countries, which proudly conserve and display them to the public. In a joint effort of seven European countries, the Roman Frontiers will get World Heritage status within the coming years, which requires setting up a co-ordinated management, conservation and PR framework. Our department participates in this international co-operation by taking on the IT-related tasks: creation and maintenance of the Roman Frontiers’ web-portal, organisation of site registration databases, exploiting different platforms, etc.
