Efficient three-dimensional field documentation methods for labour cost studies: Case studies from archaeological and heritage contexts
Recording and Reconstructing the Sacred Landscapes of Sicilian Naxos
In recent years, an on-going project investigating the urban landscape of Naxos has surveyed and produced several new digital reconstructions of the settlement’s simple non-peripteral temples, most with highly decorative roofs. Three Archaic sacred buildings of Sicilian Naxos are used to demonstrate different approaches to recording the remains and reconstructing their architectural features. This work reflects changes in digital strategies over …

Report on the excavations in the years 2007 and 2008 southeast of the Temple of Poseidon at Kalaureia
Archaeological material ranging in date from the Early Bronze Age to Late Antiquity was found in 2007 and 2008 in the excavations in Area H to the south and southeast of the Temple of Poseidon. Finds datable to the periods of major change in the Sanctuary—the Late Archaic and the Early Hellenistic—illuminate the character of the change. In the Late Archaic period an attempt to erect a votive column at the site was for some reason given up, and dr…
A tale of three drums: An unfinished Archaic votive column in the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia
Three unfinished column drums discovered at the Kalaureia Research Program excavations in 2007–2009 can be shown to have been intended for a monumental Archaic Ionic votive column. All drums have systematic masons’ marks on the contact surfaces. The latter parts of the inscriptions indicate the position of the drum in the shaft. Two alternative readings for the first part of the inscription are suggested: the first interprets it as a building ins…
The Shipsheds of Sicilian Naxos: A Second Preliminary Report (2003–6)
This paper presents the results of the second and main period of excavation. The limits of the site were defined: a monumental building with four covered slipways or shipsheds, flanking another major public building, quite possibly the agora. Preliminary conclusions based on the 2001 excavation of the northernmost shipshed (BSA 2003) can be supplemented and modified. The surprising discovery was ramps of sand, resurfaced several times during the …

The Erechtheion Construction Work Inventory (IG 13 474) and the Dörpfeld Temple
This note is a direct response to Gloria Ferrari's article, "The Ancient Temple of the Acropolis at Athens" (AJA 106 [2002] 11–35). The analysis presented here concentrates on the blocks listed in the building block inventory IG 13 474 from the Athenian Acropolis: a comparative study of the inscriptional and archaeological evidence shows that the catalogued blocks are all related to the completion of the Erechtheion; therefore, the inscription ca…

The Toumba building at Lefkandi: A statistical method for detecting a design-unit
This methodological paper uses the measurements of the Early Iron Age Toumba building at Lefkandi to study whether a single design-unit can be detected in the data set. Cosine quantogram analysis is used in the initial analysis of the building dimensions and, in the second phase, the relevance of the obtained results is calculated by using Monte Carlo computer simulations. A statistically significant unit of c. 49 cm can be isolated, but because …
The Toumba building at Lefkandi: Some methodological reflections on its plan and function
It has been argued that a foot of c. 0.30 m was used in the design of the Early Iron Age building at Lefkandi. However, deriving the foot-unit length from the preserved measurements is not statistically valid; in this case, proportional analysis is more likely to advance understanding of the building design rather than foot-standard studies. Attempts to determine the building function using direct analogical reasoning are problematic because of t…
Entasis in Fourth-Century BC Doric Buildings in the Peloponnese and at Delphi
Entasis, the slight outward curve of the column shaft, is a constant feature of fourth-century BC Doric architecture in the Peloponnese and at Delphi. In the buildings studied, the position of the maximum entasis is usually in the middle of the column shaft and, even though the degree of entasis varies, it is usually less pronounced than in fifth-century Doric columns. The relation between different mathematical formulae and entasis curves is als…
