Research websites

The website brings together all sites related to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity in the areas investigated at the Section.

Aiming to highlight the historical continuity of Athens, the National Hellenic Research Foundation organized a series of twelve lectures under the title “Archaeology of the City of Athens”. Twelve expert scholars presented major topics concerning the history of Athens’ urban and suburban landscape, from prehistoric times to the modern era. The portal constitutes the digital publication of this project, featuring substantial additions — including newly written chapters, excerpts from historical sources, and a rich collection of illustrative material.
The portal of the research project "Kyrtou Plegmata" includes applications for the study, documentation, and interpretive mapping of the structure and functions of various networks that developed historically, investigating their impact on the formation of the respective conceptualizations of the Greek space.
