The CART-ography Project: Cataloguing Ancient Routes and Travels in the Mani Peninsula

The CART-ography Project (Cataloguing Ancient Routes and Travels in the Mani Peninsula) is a new multidisciplinary archaeological and DH research initiative that documents and analyzes the routes of early explorers to the Mani peninsula in southern Lakonia, Greece. The project will assess the value of travelers’ records in reconstructing archaeological landscapes. We present our methodology and preliminary results of the project: first, how we use GIS to reconstruct the routes taken by early travelers throughout the Mani peninsula, including Pausanias, Cyriacus of Ancona, Colonel Leake and Patrick Leigh Fermor; and second, the goals for the 2019 fieldwork season.
