The Project

The project is part of a large scale multidisciplinary study of ancient ceramic technology in Cyprus from Late Neolithic to the Hellenistic period, funded by THETIS, the A.G. Leventis Foundation and a Greek-Cypriot Bilateral Collaboration Programme.

The publication of the results poses a challenging problem due to the multidimensional nature of the information to be presented, which combines archaeological, historical, geographical and analytical scientific aspects. 

The adoption of a web-centric database approach provides an elegant solution to the challenge while allowing a convenient means of early communcation and information exchange between the project participants as well as with the Archaeological Science Community. 

The artefacts presented in the database demo are part of the Nicosia Museum Collection.
