Dr. Elizabeth Fentress Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica/International Association for Classical Archaeology (AIAC), Italy EAA 2016, Vilnius, Lithuania Session: Open Access and Open Data in Archaeology - Following the ARIADNE Thread

1. FOLLOWING THE ARIADNE THREAD
Archiving practices in Europe and
North Africa
Elizabeth Fentress
AIAC

2. Countries with obligatory reporting to local or national
institutions

3. Countries with information about excavations freely
available online through national or local institutions

4. DANS EASY

6. www.fastionline.org

8. Political Considerations
1. An institution in each country is responsible for collecting
and translating that country’s sites.
2.In some cases, like Eastern Europe, AIAC pays for the
translation on a piecework basis. This requires fundraising.
3. Each country’s sites are served in the national language
and English.
4. The record sheet is kept as short and simple as possible

10. North African Heritage Archives Network
(NAHAN)
Uniting on a single platform the archives held by 22
institutions both within the Maghreb and outside it
(a work in progress)

12. Using a tree-structure to insert data – no more filling in forms for metadata!
