While geographic information systems (GIS) are used in many aspects of archaeological research there are several barriers preventing larger scale and more sophisticated use beyond simple viewing of spatial data. A questionnaire survey of environmental archaeologists has been conducted to identify those barriers and gather information about general familiarity with GIS. The results suggest that the problem lies especially in the lack of funding, insufficient practical skills and inadequate data sources. A solution is proposed in the form of a Web- GIS framework that should mitigate some of the barriers, and facilitate interdisciplinary research. This paper presents the results of the first stage of the InterSecT project.

Poznań, a city in central-western Poland, is located in the lowland region but has no less attractive geomorphological and human history. It was here that Poland was born at the end of the tenth century. The city’s location is connected with the meridian course of the Warta River valley. In contrast, in the northern part of the city, there is a vast area of the frontal moraines of the Poznań Phase of the Weichselian Glaciation. Against the backdrop of the geomorphological development of the city, the article presents the existing geosites, classified as urban geosites. The present geosites include three lapidaries with Scandinavian postglacial erratics, one of them also with stoneware, a fragment of a frontal push moraine and impact craters. Besides, three locations of proposed geosites with rich geomorphological and/or human history were identified. These are as follows: the peat bog located in the northern part of the city, defence ramparts as exhumed anthropogenic forms, and the Warta River valley. The existing and proposed geosites in Poznań were evaluated in three ways. In general, it should be assumed that the proposed new geosites are higher ranked than the current ones.
