Remapping Tunisia's Cultural Heritage

For centuries, many civilizations have settled in Tunisia, creating a rich cultural and archeological heritage. The IPAMPED Project, financed by the MEDA program of the European Union, categorizes the archeological and cultural heritage of Tunisia. After completion, the creation of a system for geographical information will serve as a reference for the future development projects of the territory. The conservation of vestiges can bring profit to the national economy in a region where cultural tourism is a growing source of revenue. Archeologists, geographers and computer scientists collaborate, using new technologies in the conservation of historical sites.
