ABSTRACT
The networking and internationalization of existing academic resources and historical and cultural achievements, as well as the research efforts of the academic community in the field of archaeology using computer, information and communication technologies, is a recent trend with a rapidly growing impact on archaeological research, management and education. Although the countries of Eastern Europe have an important place in the historical and cultural development of Europe, many cultural institutions there could not participate substantially in this process of intensifying information exchange, due to their past isolation and current economic problems. There is thus the spectre of an ever-widening information gap between the affluent countries of Western Europe and those countries struggling at the margins.
