Thank you for your interest in the MARS project

Mars is a research action funded by the Belgian Science Policy

The project

The Belgian archaeological collections are most of the time scattered among various federal institutions (FSEs) but also community, regional, communal or even private institutions.

The digitization of the "archaeological" collections is essential, because of their unique and irreplaceable character. Likewise, the creation of coherent virtual sets is the only realistic means to regroup collections which are scattered, allowing thus a better patrimonial and scientific management.
