README for an archival copy of the website Archaeology and Landscape in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia.

ABOUT THE PROJECT/WEBSITE
The information presented on this website is the result of eighteen field seasons in the Altai Mountains of Russia and Mongolia. The extensive materials we have been able to gather and document represent the first broad inventory of surface archaeology in northwestern Mongolia.

This website draws on three major resources: analysis of the region’s cultural monuments, accessed through the Archaeology section; an Image Gallery, consisting of digitized photographs of monuments and landscape; and a set of maps which include 1) a series of static image maps, and 2) a searchable Interactive Map. All maps are derived from the Project’s extensive Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database. The static maps consist of Basin Maps, located in the Altai Region Basin pages, and View Shed Maps, accessed in the Cultural Landscape section. The Interactive Map is designed to allow users to display map layers dynamically, pan and zoom the Altai region, and view specific monument types. Many of the map features have a direct link to the photographic archive, also accessed through the Image Gallery.

ABOUT THE CAPTURE/ARCHIVAL COPY
This archival copy of the website was created by the UO Libraries Digital Scholarship 
Services Department to provide fully interactive, sustainable long-term access to a completed
website, given the ephemeral nature of the web.

It was created using Webrecorder, a free, open-source web archiving service created by Rhizome at the New Museum, funded by
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Knight Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Service.

The file type, WARC (Web ARChive) format specifies a method for combining multiple digital resources
into an aggregate archival file together with related information. It is used for web-accessible 
content in a final or archived state. 

WARC files are often compressed using gzip, resulting in a .warc.gz extension.
