Corinth Computer Project

Since 1988 a research team from the Mediterranean Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has been involved in making a computerized architectural and topographical survey of the Roman colony of Corinth. The original objectives were to study the nature of the city planning process during the Roman period at Corinth; to gain a more precise idea of the order of accuracy of the Roman surveyor; and to create a highly accurate computer generated map of the ancient city whereby one could discriminate between and study the successive chronological phases of the city's development. Over the thirteen years of the project to date, the nature of the research has evolved into a more complex consideration of various elements of the colony, including the rural as well as the urban aspects of planning and settlementCorinth Computer Project
