Web Map / Map of Miletus

Since November 2022, the "Map of Miletus" has been publicly available as a dynamic phase plan via the iDAI.geoserver portal:

The map was produced as part of the DFG/ANR project "Forms of Life in the Megapolis: Miletus in the Longue Durée" led by Christof Berns and Julien Zurbach in cooperation with Michael Breuer from the Berlin University of Applied Sciences. The basic data are references to the "Topographical Map of Miletus" by Walter Bendt (1968), the "City Map of Miletus" by Berthold Weber (2003) and numerous individual site plans from publications and research work of the last century. Background data on building types and periodisation were recorded in the excavation database to produce a catalogue of the building stock at Miletus. Data import and formatting are transparently recorded in an online-repository ("Miletus_Buildingcatalogue").

The maps were compiled, referenced, digitised and prepared for publication by Lisa Steinmann and Paula Cardona Villamil in 2021-2022. The Map Guide also contains contributions from other members of the excavation, in particular Alexander Reich and Maurice Thurn.
