The paper briefly presents the main product of Arch Terr project “Integrated management of archaeological heritage: archaeological map and administrative procedures for heritage research and protection”; project funded by UEFISCDI following the research collaboration of two scientific centers, “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galați and “Politehnica” University of Bucharest. The scientific research project presents the archaeological heritage digital map with geospatial information (Geographic Information Systems GIS) for Romania. The project was started in 2020 as a winner of multiple (76) research projects competition for cultural national heritage. We present, in the following, one of the deliverables of the project, the archaeological heritage digital map with geospatial information (Geographic Information Systems GIS) for Romania. The digital map was conceived as an essential tool in the activity of protecting the archaeological heritage at the level of each deconcentrated administrative structure (county directorates for culture, county cadaster offices) from the 42 territorial administrative units in Romania; the map is also a means of information for the public. The archaeological map is considered a necessity at European level, in the context of an aggressive investment policy; it comes as a support of heritage protection, cultural (archaeological) but also a land use policy, from the perspective of sustainable development. You can find the fully functional digital map at www.archterr.ro with full open public access.
