Om "Fund og Fortidsminder
Begrebet "Det Kulturhistoriske Centralregister" (DKC) har i mange �r v�ret synonymt med Nationalmuseets landsd�kkende database over ark�ologiske fund og fortidsminder.
S�dan er det ikke mere.
Med den nye museumslov, der tr�dte i kraft den 1. januar 2002, blev DKC en del af den nyoprettede Kulturarvsstyrelse, der har ansvar for st�rsteparten af kulturarven � fra ark�ologiske udgravninger, over fredede bygningsv�rker til de statslige og statsanerkendte museer. Da flere kulturhistoriske og museale databaser nu er blevet samlet i �t hus, giver navnet "Det Kulturhistoriske Centralregister" ikke l�ngere nogen mening, og derfor har vi valgt at introducere det mere d�kkende "Fund og Fortidsminder".
Kulturarvsstyrelsens Dokumentationskontor, som har det overordnede ansvar for databaserne, vil p� l�ngere sigt etablere en f�lles indgang til de forskellige kulturarvsdatabaser, s�ledes at man f.eks. kan f� vist ark�ologiske fund, fredede bygninger og bevaringsv�rdige kulturmilj�er p� det samme danmarkskort eller kan g� fra en bestemt gravh�j til oplysninger om de genstande, der blev fundet ved udgravningen af den.
Den historiske baggrund
Det tidligere Kulturhistoriske Centralregister blev oprettet i forbindelse med museumsloven af 1984, men havde r�dder tilbage i et samarbejde mellem den dav�rende Fredningsstyrelse, Nationalmuseet og de danske museer om at overf�re "Sognebeskrivelsen" til edb.
Sognebeskrivelsen er et omfattende tekst- og kortmateriale, som blev grundlagt i 1873 med gennemf�relsen af de s�kaldte "herredsrejser".
Resultatet blev en systematisk og landsd�kkende optegnelse af de danske fortidsminder og findesteder. Dette store antikvariske materiale befinder sig i arkiverne p� Nationalmuseet.
Kulturarvsstyrelsen/Dokumentation varetager b�de det fortsatte arbejde med indtastningen af Sognebeskrivelsen og registreringen af alle nye fund og fortidsminder, der indberettes fra landets kulturhistoriske museer.
Ud over fund fra landjorden indeholder registeret ogs� oplysninger om skibsvrag, unders�iske bopladser og andre marine fund.
L�s mere om lokaliteter i Fund og Fortidsminder, om den aktuelle registreringsstatus og om arealer p� dkconline.
