THE SPHAKIA SURVEY INTERNET EDITION
Lucia Nixon, Simon Price, Jennifer Moody, Oliver Rackham, Sophie Clarke and
Sarah Porter are proud to announce that the new Sphakia Survey website is
now online at:
http://sphakia.classics.ox.ac.uk/
The Sphakia Survey is an interdisciplinary archaeological project
studying life in this remote and rugged part of Crete, from the time that
people arrived in the area (by ca 3000 BC), until the end of Ottoman rule
in AD 1900. It involves the use of environmental, archaeological,
documentary, and local information collected over a 13-year period.
The Sphakia Survey Internet Edition is part of the final publication of
the project. It is intended for a number of different user groups: the
general public (including inhabitants of Sphakia); students; professional
archaeologists and historians. The website operates on several different
levels, from introductory to specialist: introductory material about the
Sphakia Survey, plus republication of our preliminary articles, including
one in Greek, with colour illustrations; clips from our video about
Sphakia; a database giving outline information about all our
environmental zones, regions and sites (with over a thousand colour
pictures); a teaching database designed to introduce students to the uses
of survey data (again with many colour pictures); and a presentation
about fabric analysis (with pictures of a selection of our fabrics).
Please have a look at the site. Note the teaching section, which
includes specific questions to introduce students to the interpretation
of survey data. If appropriate, please think about using it in your own
teaching.
This is the first version of the web site and we would warmly welcome
your help in improving the site. Please contact us if you would be
willing to fill in a short questionnaire (hcdt@oucs.ox.ac.uk), or see the
feedback form on the web site. Suggestions for improvements should be
received by 31 December 2000.
The Sphakia Survey is directed by Lucia Nixon (Magdalen College, Oxford)
and
Jennifer Moody (Baylor University), with senior participation of Simon
Price
(Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford) and Oliver Rackham (Corpus Christi College,
Cambridge). The website was developed with Sarah Porter and Sophie
Clarke of the Humanities Computing Development Team (Oxford University):
