Using qgis2web to Visualize Data from Globasnitz

The qgis2web plugin for QGIS is a practical tool for transforming georeferenced data into interactive web maps. By applying it to archaeological data from Globasnitz, users can create dynamic maps that combine geophysical surveys, excavation results, and legacy datasets. The plugin simplifies the process of sharing complex spatial data online, making it accessible to researchers, educators, and the public.

One of the key benefits of qgis2web is its ability to seamlessly export map layers, styles, and data into formats compatible with Leaflet or OpenLayers, without requiring advanced web development skills. This is particularly useful for showcasing datasets like georadar and geomagnetic results or visualizing excavation zones with pop-up features and contextual basemaps. However, its limitations include a lack of advanced customization options, requiring manual HTML or CSS adjustments for polished outputs. Additionally, large datasets may impact map performance in web browsers.

Using qgis2web, users can explore relationships between geophysical findings and excavation results, compare legacy and modern data, or highlight specific find zones in Globasnitz. While the plugin provides a straightforward workflow, fine-tuning the exported maps for publication often requires further effort.
