Abstract
Religious Artifact Visualization Environment: Tracking Artifacts Across the Ancient World
Track: Archaeology
Author
Religious scholars have translated and catalogued countless artifacts from the ancient religious world without a practical way of visualizing their data. This project will develop a tool to assist the client in visually exploring the diffusion of religious peoples, texts, and ideas throughout the areas of Egypt, Italy, Turkey and Palestine during the 5th century AD. The scope of the project will be the development of a geodatabase that will track information gathered from letters written by Evagrius, Rufinus, and Jerome. A user interface will allow analysis of data including spatial and network data outputs overlaid upon digital historical reference map data within selected temporal ranges, and provide the option to save the display in softcopy map format or print to a hardcopy map.
