Zbiva

Zbiva is an archaeological database for eastern Alps and its surrounding regions in the early Middle Ages. According to the area, it covers the sites in Slovenia, Austria, on the NW Croatian coast, and in the NE regions in Italy, which are sometimes compared to sporadic sites from the neighbouring areas and previous era.

It consists of three large parts (which together form a concise unit):

• Sites database
• Graves database
• Objects (goods) database

Version v4 (2023) connects all tables, combines input, search and mapping. It runs entirely online. All data changes are updated continuously, so the latest status is always available. Mapping search is available to visitors, and registration is required for the input.

The web application Zbiva is intended for highly motivated research not only into structured information but also into "hidden" data. They can only be found with the correct search term, which we have to create with our own imagination. There are many basic and advanced search options for this purpose.
