Abstract
This Data Atlas of Byzantine and Ottoman Material Culture involves the archiving, storing and making accessible of Medieval and Post-Medieval data from several archaeological missions in the eastern Mediterranean (period 600–2000 ad). The data mainly originate from pottery studies carried out during excavations in four major urban centres and during two surface surveys in their respective surroundings. The urban sites are Butrint in southern Albania, Athens in central Greece, Ephesus in western Turkey and Tarsus in eastern Turkey, the material culture of which is studied in relation to archaeological finds from rural settlements and towns in their hinterlands (e.g., Aetolia, Boeotia).
Highlights
Between 2010 and 2015, the multidisciplinary nwo-vidi research project (27661-003) Material Culture, Consumption and Social Change: New Perspectives for Understanding the Eastern Mediterranean during Byzantine and Ottoman Times was carried out under the direction of J
It has resulted in large amounts of data relating to archaeological finds, which are stored in various databases
Since the vidi project was one of the last generation of nwo funded projects in which digital archiving was not yet a compulsory part of the subsidy, external financing by dans was necessary to make the deposit of the Data Atlas possible
Summary
Between 2010 and 2015, the multidisciplinary nwo-vidi research project (27661-003) Material Culture, Consumption and Social Change: New Perspectives for Understanding the Eastern Mediterranean during Byzantine and Ottoman Times was carried out under the direction of J. The aim of the Data Atlas is to describe, link, archive and make accessible the extensive datasets (among which databases, photographs, slides, drawings, published results, etc.) from the above mentioned four urban centres and two survey regions in the eastern Mediterranean. The first results in the study of the rich and unique material from the four urban sites have been published in various articles, book chapters and monographs (e.g., Vroom, 2003; 2013b; 2015; Vroom & Fındık, 2015; Bağcı, 2017; Bağcı & Vroom, 2017; Vroom & Tzavella, 2017) These results shed new light on the economic, social and cultural developments at the sites under study during the Medieval and Post-Medieval periods, as well as on aspects of their spatial organization and relation to their hinterlands (cf Vroom, 1987; 2003; 2006; 2014a). Since the vidi project was one of the last generation of nwo funded projects in which digital archiving was not yet a compulsory part of the subsidy, external financing by dans was necessary to make the deposit of the Data Atlas possible
