Abstract
Geomatics has been an important tool in archaeology. The combination of Geomatics and archaeology adopters have been considered a perfect match, since archaeology often involves the study of the spatial dimension of human behavior over time, and all archaeology carries a spatial component. Since Iraqi archaeology becomes one of the main victims of destruction by negligence and terror attacks, makes our great heritages forgotten. Hence, it is necessary to build a secure database for all Iraqi archeological sites with their two main types (investigated and uninvestigated) and rely on digital system by creating digital maps for each Governorate with their archeological database system. Results of archaeological studies are rich in spatial information. GIS is adept at processing these large volumes of data especially those that are geographically referenced. It is effective, accurate and a fast tool. The tools made available through GIS help in data collection, its storage and retrieval, its ability for customization and, finally, the display of the data so that it is visually comprehensible by the user. The most important aspect of GIS in archaeology lies, however, not in its use as a pure map-making tool, but in its capability to merge and analyze
Highlights
The Iraqi archeology with all its classifications is one of the most important sources of historical information
The need to introduce modern digital techniques from geomatics has become urgent in an attempt to manage the databases of Iraqi archeological sites and use them in the correct geometric form to prevent them from loss
This research includes an overview of the spatial data problem of any project accomplished using digital techniques in geomatics in terms of combination, geometrical correction and spatial data links and display by information such as the numerical objective station
Summary
The Iraqi archeology with all its classifications is one of the most important sources of historical information. Iraq possesses a large percentage of these monuments, including the civilization of Ur and Babylon, as well as the existence of many sites and archaeological remains; Iraq is a symbol of great cultural prosperity From this simple description, the need to introduce modern digital techniques from geomatics has become urgent in an attempt to manage the databases of Iraqi archeological sites and use them in the correct geometric form to prevent them from loss. This research includes an overview of the spatial data problem of any project accomplished using digital techniques in geomatics in terms of combination, geometrical correction and spatial data links and display by information such as the numerical objective station This will contain the collection of data needed for this subject of the project after the processing of sources. Maps, satellite images of the study area and raw spatial data collected are processed and equipped to prepare spatial databases
