Abstract

One of the greatest scientific and social challenges of the 21st century in all disciplines is the storage, structuring, modelling, interpretation, and publication of large, complex research data sets (big data). Archaeological research is no exception. Over the past two decades, this discipline has developed through much more intensive cooperation with life and natural sciences than before, and is now faced with the exponential growth and expansion of data. This is evidenced by the fact that archaeology in our era, after it emerged at the end of the 19th century and subsequently faced with the so-called radiocarbon revolution that defined the second half of the 20th century, is now referred to by international research as the Third Science Revolution in connection with the enormous amount of data awaiting interpretation and the impact of new methods on archaeological research (Kristiansen 2014; Kristiansen 2025). Without claiming to be exhaustive, we are reviewing some international trends and related domestic initiatives. The latter include the databases created by the MTA–BTK Lendület “Momentum” BASES Research Group.
