Abstract
The author focuses on the use of geographic information systems capabilities in the archaeological mapping, the results of the geoinformation analytical system creation “Crimean Archaeological sites”. The purpose of the work was to create a geodatabase for archaeological heritage sites in the Crimea, and also assess the degree of their legal protection in the current conditions of active land development and the formation of the Russian land legal system. On this purpose methods of digital mapping, processing the Earth remote sensing data and spatial analysis in GIS were used. For the first time, the mapping and specification of all the recorded coordinates for the Crimean archaeological sites was carried out, a geodatabase was created. This made it possible to identify “acute” situations associated with land use and creating a threat of destruction for archaeological sites. The results of the work were posted on the geoportal “Archaeological Monuments of the Crimea” to ensure continuous geodatabases updating and monitoring archaeological sites.
