Abstract

​

A database of geoarchaeological sites of Ukraine has been elaborated as a part of the project «Reconstruction of the natural environments of ancient Man’s habitats in Ukraine during prehistoric and historical times». This database enables the synthesis and analysis of palaeoenvironmental proxies, derived from archaeological sites. The data are
collected from over 350 sites of Ukraine and from over 540 cultural layers. The database is visualized as an online-map, which has been created using the QGIS software. The interactive map includes such vector layers: geoarchaeological sites, modern natural zones, rivers and the largest water objects. A series of palaeoenvironmental maps will be created in the GIS programs.
