Abstract
Ancient historical illustrations are the main introduction of any area which develops the civilization, cultural importance of the region. Wari is the most important archaeological illustration which enriches the history, culture of the surroundings of Bangladesh. As a riverine country continuous cyclone, river bank erosion, flood, landslide and other natural disasters have altered our ancient civilization since the beginning. For this reason many enriched ancient civilization and culture have engraved by rivers and our ancient arts, culture and civilization are ruined. Currently the major problem of archaeological sites is that there is no geo-spatial database prepared so far. This study therefore, is attempted to prepare a geo-spatial database on archaeological sites like Wari Bateshwar region to develop metadata, relevant information and geo-tagged photos having spatial references to fulfill the purpose of exploring and surveying archaeological sites as well as to develop a methodological framework which documents physical and cultural aspects. Primary data have been used for this study was collected through mainly field observation, interviewing and GPS survey according to predesigned information collection sheet. In this study, total 52 archaeological sites have been identified where only two are recognized by government and rests of them are unrecognized. Satellite navigation data and remote sensing imagery were also integrating with the information collection sheet. Detailed metadata and geo-tagged photos on the each archaeological site contains spatial references has been developed which will help understanding further work on archaeological sites. The govt., academic departments and the NGOs should come forward to fulfill the recommendations in the study.
