Olympia, Griechenland. Die Rekontextualisierung von Befunden und Funden der Schatzhausterrasse von Olympia – Ein Zwischenbericht. Die Arbeiten der Jahre 2019 und 2020

A groundbreaking initiative at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Olympia leverages digital technology to recontextualize and publish long-overlooked archaeological data. The project, utilizing iDAI.field 2.0, integrates disparate historical records—including site notebooks, handwritten reports, sketches, and registers—from early excavations (1875–1881) of the treasuries at Olympia. By digitizing these fragmented datasets, researchers aim to reconstruct archaeological contexts and associated finds, making them accessible online for the first time. This approach not only preserves and interprets previously unpublished findings but also sets a new standard for retrospective digital archaeology, bridging gaps in historical documentation with modern analytical tools.
