Samenvatting
This core data standard for archaeological sites and monuments has been prepared by two organisations working in close cooperation. The work of CIDOC has been undertaken in close collaboration
with archaeological and architectural working parties contributing to the documentation programme of the Council of Europe's Cultural Heritage Committee. The preparation of an international
core data standard for archaeological sites was one of the principal aims of the CIDOC Archaeological Sites Working Group established in September 1992 at the CIDOC Quebec meeting. Between
1987 and 1992 a core data standard was prepared for records of architectural sites and monuments, within the Council of Europe programme created to support the European Convention for the
protection of the Architectural Heritage. This architectural data standard was agreed at an international colloque at Nantes in October 1992. The core data standard for archaeological sites
produced by the CIDOC group has retained a close relationship to that prepared for architectural monuments by the Council of Europe in order that countries able or wishing to include all
information relating to the historic environment on one database could do so. The documentation of archaeological sites and monuments plays an essential role in promoting the understanding,
conservation and preservation of the archaeological heritage. Within Europe, a wide range of recording methods are employed in the compilation of inventories, often within a national framework
. The compilation of these various inventories may have occurred for a variety of different reasons. However, some of these reasons enjoy a more widespread currency, in particular those
relating to the protection of the archaeological heritage, and to providing some form of public access to the information held. The aims of this standard are therefore threefold: to facilitate
communication between national and international bodies responsible for the recording and protection of the archaeological heritage to assist countries at an early stage in developing record
systems for the recording and protection of the archaeological heritage to facilitate research utilising archaeological core data where this has an international dimension The core data
standard for archaeological sites has retained a close relationship to that prepared for architectural sites by the Council of Europe. This should be advantageous to countries able or wishing
to include in one database all information relating to the man-made environment. This standard can moreover also be linked with a working standard prepared by CIDOC for archaeological objects
and with the CIDOC guidelines for museum object information which includes archaeological objects. The various sections into which the data standard is divided represent the minimum categories
of information required to make a reasonable assessment of a monument or site, whether for planning, management, academic or other purposes. In addition, reference can be provided to further
