Supplied note: "Ciolek, T. Matthew. 2006. Georeferenced data set (Series 2 - Significant Nodes): Funduks, hospices, and caravanserais/khans (code RHSE = resthouses) in Eurasia and Northern Africa c. 500 BCE-2000 CE.

Self description: "[...] This document comprises a georeferenced data set [543 data points in MapInfo, Google Earth (KML), and CSV formats - ed.] belonging to the Old World Trade Routes (OWTRAD) project [http://www.ciolek.com/owtrad.html]. It can be used for historical research (e.g. validation of some set of facts); analyses of distances/ travel times/ modes of travel/ cargo moved along particular transportation corridors; the construction of an electronic map, or GIS model of the movement/ transport/ communication circuits in a given area and time-period. The data originate in the studied analogue source(s) [...]. Here they are disambiguated, subjected to georeferencing, and re-stated in a highly standardised manner. Consequently, OWTRAD data are easier to crossreference, share, analyse and manipulate. Also, they are more precise, and easier to test and correct than the original sources."
