Project description

This project aims at the operationalization of the legacy data collection of the Thorikos Archaeological Research Project (1960 - present), especially those of the ancient Theatre, within the innovative iDig App developed for the Athenian Agora excavations. It includes the annotation of all archaeological entities within the scanned and digitally-born legacy documents and linking these with the geospatial data.
