Dataset for GENNI project PROJECT (J6-4609)

Abstract

A concise scientific abstract summarizing the purpose, scope, and structure of your Roman Stone Artefact Catalogue for Dolenjska and Bela Krajina. It describes the integration of archaeological, geological, and spatial data supporting provenance analysis of Roman stone use along the Emona–Siscia road.

Data Description

Details the content of the Excel database (Data_EN.xlsx), including:

• Overview of sheets and record counts

• Key metadata fields: inventory ID, monument type, coordinates, lithotype, dating, and petrographic classification

• Explanation of dataset provenance (museum records, field observations, GIS/LiDAR integration)

• A sample of your main columns with data types, number of unique values, and representative examples

Methods

Explains how the dataset was compiled:

• Field and museum data collection

• Macroscopic lithological analysis (texture, porosity, fossil content, diagenesis)

• Spatial verification in GIS and linkage to the Roman road network

• Harmonization and cross-referencing of published catalogues

Technical Information

Summarizes all technical metadata:

• File format (.xlsx, UTF-8)

• Coordinate reference system (EPSG:3912)

• Temporal and geographic coverage (1st–4th cent. CE, Dolenjska & Bela Krajina)

• Data sources (fieldwork 2022–2025, museum inventories, LiDAR 1 m)

• Recommended license (CC BY 4.0)

• Suggested Zenodo versioning (v1.0 +, DOI placeholder)
