A pilot program for a model high resolution archaeological database in Greece and the United States consisting of photographs, video, field notes, laser scans, architectural data, and simulations relating to the ancient Roman colony of Corinth.

We propose to seek funding to implement a pilot program as a proof of concept for the larger initiative that would fully deploy the synchronized data storage and acquisition between the United States and Greece. This project will also establish the a model suitable to expand the program to include collections not only in Greece and at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, but other centers of archaeological data around the world.
