The goal of the European INTERREG IIIB project “Roman Routes in the Mediterranean”, coordinated by the Cultural Heritage Safeguard Office of the Aosta Valley (North-West Italy), is to analyse the transformations that have occurred in the Ayas Valley(AO) between the Roman times and middle ages. Six research groups, from different disciplines, have taken part in this project: classical archaeologists, medieval archaeologists, historians and geologists. A tool has been created by our group for the management of the results of the different researches, using GIS technologies for the registration, maintenance, consultation and updating of the data. The achieved experience allows to underline some general rules for the conceptual design of a GIS for the Cultural Heritage documentation and management.
