DeVill, the digital Deserted Villages Archive of the Austrian Society for Medieval and Modern Archaeology is an extensive and annotated compilation of sources on medieval and early modern deserted villages in Eastern Austria, which were collected by means of archaeology, history, and other related disciplines. DeVill is based on the Deserted Villages Archive founded by Fritz Felgenhauer as part of the Archive for Medieval Archeology in the early 1970s.

Within the framework of DeVill originally analog data respectively data collected according to standards of the 19^th and 20^th centuries were now linked with new knowledge and are structured according to state of the art standards within current digital humanities projects.

VIAS is a partner in the DeVill project that is hosted by the Natural History Museum Vienna based on a mutual agreement with the Austrian Society for Medieval and Modern Archaeology.
