Usually you will also find something on the ground, at least if you dig. Looking at the page for historic=event I can see that most people are arguing against historic=event and historic=battlefield because there is "nothing on the ground". At least for battlefields this is pure ignorance. In many cases you will find lots of evidence, e.g. in the WW I battlefields (the whole terrain is modified, even a hundred years after you can actually see remains of the trenches and craters of the grenades and bombs, not to speak about the dead bodies still unburied in the ground). btw.: Simone, don't forget to add historic:civilization=ancient_roman to the aforementioned ;-) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
