Description

Polis-Inventory maps the ancient Greek settlements from the archaic and classical periods (c. 650-325 BC) as identified in the pioneering work published by the Copenhagen Polis Center named 'An Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis' by M.H. Hansen / T. Nielsen, Oxford 2005 (here referred to as the 'Inventory').

The digital dataset in Polis-Inventory, based on the Inventory, comes primarily from the website polis.stanford.edu, managed by the Stanford University Classics Department. The dataset is the result of a gradual, yet continuous digitization and advancement of the original printed material by subsequent classical scholars.

The Polis-Inventory app is informative and interactive, allowing for visualization, searching and filtering of the Poleis based on a set of physical and historical parameters. A Key to the parameters is provided. Further detail about, and accreditation of, these data can be found at polis.stanford.edu and the Inventory itself.

If you would like a copy of the data in this app, you can load it to your clipboard in a Geojson format from the About page.

No user data whatsoever is tracked or stored by the Polis-Inventory app.
