László Domboróczki COMPUTERISED METHODS FOR STORING, ANALYSING AND PRESENTING ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA: CASE STUDIES FROM HEVES COUNTY Computerized methods and applications can aid the work of archaeologists in various ways - from the recording of data through finds analyses right up to the creation of 3D reconstructions. They facilitate better data management and improve the way results are presented. The pages that follow make a brief summary of our work at the Heves County Museum in Eger.

1 Text and image editing Texts and images are the simplest digital elements to produce in archaeology. We use them in archaeological documentation, exhibition displays, books and articles.

Everybody uses lists of a more straight forward nature to make catalogues of different kinds of things. We for example are using Excel tabloids to catalogue exca1 Our paper was presented at the 36
