Description

Database of (mostly) Roman Findspots
Permission granted to use the dataset noncommercially, attribution would be nice (licence CC-BY-NC), and I'm very interested in any work based on this data (and in general in things archaeological GIS-related), so please drop me a line if this project helped in any way! (For commercial use please ask me, I'm not a greedy person, and am sure we can find an agreement easily.)
The catalogue started out in GoogleEarth, and was later switched to QGIS (currently 2.8.10). It was always meant for my personal use, so it does not live up to academic standards - most sites are only a rough localisation, several km off the actual site; I included literature sources, but in short forms that are probably only decipherable by myself. I'm happily available for clarifications if needed, as well as for addenda, corrections or questions.
Additional data (QGIS project file, collection of georeferenced excavation maps as raster overlays and so on) are available on request.
The data was not collected systematically, there is no claim to completeness in any field - generally coverage is probably best near my own location (SE Austria) and research focus, and gets thinner with distance from there. Work is ongoing, apart from adding new findspots, I'm planning to improve the integration with vici.org datasets, and improve vague literature sources with more precise excavation reports, and precision of dot location.
