Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Information technologies are in demand in modern science, including in archaeological science,work is underway to use the latest technologies. In recent years, when studying the Stone Age andBronze Age of the northeastern Aral Sea region, it is especially important to compile a list of previouslydiscovered monuments in the region, collect data about them, archaeological mapping, methods of oneof the natural sciences, and the use of a geographic information system.In this article, the authors have collected information about the archaeological exploration workcarried out on the territory of the Aral, Kazalinsky, Syrdarya, Karmakshinsky, Zhalagash regions of theNorth-Eastern Priaralye in the field season 2018-2021. Monuments collected from scientific articles,scientific reports of various archaeological expeditions carried out in the region, where in the 50-60s ofthe twentieth century, the campsites were lost.Currently, the GIS program includes geographic coordinates and photographs of newly discoveredPaleolithic, Neolithic, Eneolithic and Bronze Age sites. The article provides a summary of the history ofuse and theories regarding the GIS program. The authors, taking into account the world experience in theGIS program, prepared several maps related to the monuments of the Stone-Bronze Age in the region.Key words: Archeology, Aral region, natural science, geoarcheology, science, culture, data, Aral Searegion, Syrdarya valley.
