ARIADNE, The mission

Bring together and integrate the existing

archaeological research data infrastructures so

that researchers can use the various distributed

datasets and new and powerful technologies as

an integral component of the archaeological

research methodology.

e-infrastructures

A combination and interworking of

digitally-based technology (hardware and software),

resources (data, services, digital libraries),

communications (protocols, access rights and

networks), and

the people and organisational structures

needed to support modern, internationally leading

collaborative research be it in the arts and humanities or

the sciences
