Attic Grave Reliefs of the Late 5th and of the 4th Century B.C.

Compiled and processed by Johannes Bergemann.
Approx. 2700 monuments with over 3200 pictures.

This type of monument is one of the central areas of archaeological research. Comprehensive corpora and a wealth of monographs and essays open up the material to which all archaeologists are introduced over the course of their studies. Researching the material often takes weeks of browsing, collecting and checking. In contrast to this, the over 160,000 individual entries in the database allow rapid access to complex, iconographic, epigraphic, social, chronological and geographic aspects. The descriptions of the picture motifs distinguish simple motifs, types and patterns which can be called up individually and in combination. In addition, over 900 descriptive and typological terms were specially developed on the material. Allocations and determinations are justified in a monograph by the author. The book and the database can be mutually checked, whereby the database comprises more monuments and pictures. The database is available on CD-ROM.

Besides online access an introducing manual (in german) and a book publication exist.
