Tehran, 14 July 2008: Iran has prepared a digital map of the ancient sites of Tehran Province to facilitate the management system and landscape analysis.

The new database has created a Cultural Resources Management (CRM) system based on satellite photos, raster and cartographic maps of the area.

The system provides the means to analyze and compare archeological evidence gathered from different sources.

As the database includes vital information including the antiquity, cultural eras and technical specifications of the sites, it can be used to take the necessary protective measures when a historical site is damaged by natural or human causes.

The system also includes thousands of written documents, charts, pictures, videos and maps pertaining to the ancient sites of Tehran Province.
