Extensive
excavations are carried out in the northern part of Denmark
previous to the construction of a new highway in the coming
years. The excavation project is the largest project of such
a character ever carried out in Denmark. In connection with
this project procedures and systems for digital registration
and connection between field data has been developed to obtain
as rational and uniform a registration as possible. In the
field of digital archaeology new experiences has come out
of the project, which will set out new standards for future
archaeological fieldwork in Denmark. This paper presents the
registration systems, the use of handheld computers, digital
surveying, linking of databases to GIS systems etc. throughout
all levels of investigation.
