Abstract

Summary

The regional databases of geoarchaeological sites are elaborated in detail for two contrasting areas as a first step in creation of the database for Ukraine. The analysis of the literature sources and the authors’ field and analytical studies forms a base for their construction. The databases were firstly formed using Excel. To provide fast coordinate setting of the databases and to transfer the information from one software to the other, all tables in the format .exe were converted to the format CSV. The .exe format is easily imported into GIS programs with a use of geographical coordinates projection WGS-84. The database in the format GeoPackage (with the attributive table) is produced by an import of CSV file into Quantum GIS. This format is chosen for convenient export of the data into an interactive map. Its usage provides fast feedback when searches are made with a use of SQL-queries. The analysis of two regional geoarchaeological databases demonstrates that sites in Transcarpathia are studied with a better usage of geoscience methods than sites in the Volyn’ Upland. To provide a reliable correlation between palaeoenvironments in separate areas, databases using the same methodology are under construction for the whole area of Western Ukraine.
