Summary/Abstract: The PATRIMON project presents a GIS application in the field of archaeological research and archaeological resources management: documentation and monitoring. The PATRIMON model presents a method to obtain a precisely location of archaeological sites coordinates and their implementation into the urban plans or into the spatial planning documents. It also provides a method of signalizing their presence by a protection system that will signalize and put them into the tourism network existing in their area. The GIS application was achieved in the archaeological site named “Dinogetia”, situated in Jijila commune, Garvăn village, Tulcea county. The advantage of PATRIMON database relies upon its possibility to be introduced into any planning document represented in GIS system and in Stereo70 projection, eliminating any mapping approximation and ensuring the efficient protection of the archaeological site. Putting together the archaeological studies and the Information Technologies allows a better management and preservation of the cultural heritage.
