Construção de uma base de dados de datações de sítios arqueológicos da Península Ibérica: contribuição para o estudo de sequências cronológicas

Abstract

The construction of a database which allows compiling, organizing and making available to the scientific community, the absolute dates published, is an important tool in archaeological research. Specifically designed and engineered for this purpose, the database for the Absolute Dates of the Iberian Peninsula (DAPI), includes the results collected from different dating methods available to the archaeological sites of the Iberian Peninsula.

This database was designed in Access, a program released worldwide and with a simple interface, while still allowing exporting to Excel, simplifying the visualization of data.

Its interface allows the user to view the data already entered by archaeological site or by printing the list of existing dates; view in Google Earth, the geographic location of the site; enables the insertion of new data or even change any erroneous data.
