The monumental northern wall of this prehistoric town is preserved up to a height of 10 m, which makes it the most massive fortification-structure in the whole Celtic world. Various sources indicate that the low mountain range, which is nowadays situated peripherally, used to be a significant centre with supra-regional importance in Celtic times. By using various archaeological prospection methods and the methods of applied geoinformatics and surveying technology it is attempted to reconstruct the preand protohistoric habitat as detailed as possible. Special emphasis is placed on tracking early use of resources and on the question to what extent local iron ore and copper deposits...

A research environment was implemented in the form of a spatial data infrastructure; it provides tools for archaeologists and historians to collect, store and analyse data within a framework of harbour research. Standardized routines for data collection and quality control were established, the locations of all harbours investigated in the various projects of an extensive research programme can be visualized as data points. A multitude of relevant context information is provided from the fields of geology, hydrology and meteorology, by integrating into the system as web map services on topics such as the course of coastlines and waters, water depths and wave heights. In that way, the importance of using spatial information as a basis for in depth analyses and identification of future research topics for the humanities is demonstrated.

The paper will describe one recent project initiative in one part of Germany. The main intention of the initiative is to foster the further development of SDI at the local and regional level taking

However, navigation distances have hitherto been based on modern flow distances, which could be a significant source of error due to modern changes in flow distance and channel pattern. Here, we use a systematic comparison of vectorized old maps, which enlighten the fluvial landscape before most of the large-scale river engineering took place, and modern opensource geodata to deduce change ratios of flow distance and channel patterns. The river courses have been vectorised, edited and divided into comparable grid units. Based on the thalweg, meandering and braided/anabranching river sections have been identified and various ratios have been calculated in order to detect changes in length and channel patterns. Our large-scale analytical approach and Geographic Information System (GIS) workflow are transferable to...

In Europe, SDI implementation currently takes place at all different levels of public administration. Due to an enormous amount of heterogeneous widespread spatial information distributed among many involved parties local SDI’s face a number of specific challenges. In this article a case study from Germany is presented to illustrate the various tasks of local SDI implementation for the purpose of sustainable land management. Organizational, legal, functional and technical aspects are addressed; sol utions developed within the federal political system of Germany are described and evaluated.

However, to obtain high quality results it is indispensable to control the whole data acquisition and data processing chain very much in detail. The paper will show how to apply laser scanning technology to objects of different kind and will include the demonstration of the achieved results. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG 3D Scanning hat sich als neue Technologie fur die effiziente Dokumentation in Architektur und Archaologie sowie des Kulturerbes bewahrt. Wenn Ergebnisse hoher Qualitat erzielt werden sollen, muss die gesamte Prozesskette der Datenerfassung und -verarbeitung sehr detailliert kontrolliert werden. Der Beitrag zeigt die Anwendung der LaserscannerTechnologie an Hand unterschiedlicher Objekte einschlieslich der erzielten Ergebnisse.
