Just another www database? Artefacts online

Résumé

After 5 years of existence, Artefacts slowly grows up to offer its users a wide approach on archaeological small finds of Europe, all periods (vessels and coins excluded) 304 599 objects at the 11th february 2015. The project was born to put an end to the endless work of copying data and parallels in previously published studies, while so many new finds keep on emerging from rescue excavations as well as from older museum collections. While the huge amount of knowledge about small finds is scattered in uncountable publications printed in several european countries, it seems unreasonable for a single scholar to have them all in mind. Yet this ambition can be adopted by a community, if specialists from various countries succeed in sharing a common tool. Artefacts would like to be this tool, a space of shared knowledge and a link between specialists from all countries. Now available in 5 languages, Artefacts offers a classification system organized with typological codes and periods; individual type pages can also be found through site name, museum or bibliography. Most of the processed data comes from publications, but the database also welcomes lists and images from museums, as well as from recent unpublished excavations. Links are given, when available, towards online publications, museum pages or other databases, such as the British PAS (Portable Antiquities Scheme). The wish to arouse a specialists community is now achieved by an interactive forum, where all sorts of questions can be discussed within connected users.
