The Relationship between Cult and the Natural Landscape in Ancient Greece

SPRING 2017 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES 

PI: Andrea Berlin, Archaeology, CAS

The project aims to develop a model that interrogates the visual and spatial relationships between Greek sanctuaries and the natural landscape. The major innovation of project is the plan to collate, preserve, and present data in an online, interactive platform so that future users can perform their own analytical studies. The platform will allow a user to access, for any given place, all of the attributes and visuals collected as well as then be able to manipulate and study them. The results of the analyses, including visualscapes and topographic and cultural observations, will be made available as well.

This work is funded by a Hariri Research Award made in January, 2017.
