The MINIMA Project (Exploring Sikyon: a model for data transparency in digital mapping) invites the public to an online webinar presenting the project’s main deliverables and methodological approaches.
The webinar will showcase how environmental, archaeological and geophysical datasets are integrated into a WebGIS-based interactive platform, offering an unprecedented, multi-layered visualization of ancient Sikyon. Designed for both the scientific community and the wider public, the platform enables seamless exploration of the archaeological landscape through textual, visual and 3D representations, operating at three interconnected scales: the city-state, the city and its civic center.

About the MINIMA Project
The MINIMA Project is developing a user-friendly, multi-layered digital platform that presents the results of archaeological research at Sikyon, a major ancient city in the northern Peloponnese. By integrating data from regional and urban surveys as well as ongoing excavations, the platform allows users to move smoothly from large-scale overviews to detailed archaeological features, promoting data transparency, interdisciplinary research and public engagement through digital mapping technologies.
