Archaeology studies mainly two types of material data; objects and space. Space, either as an environment surrounding the objects, or created by the objects, appears in the archeological discourse in various forms: archeological site, settlement, subject of historical topography, natural environment, landscape. Map design constitutes a key tool for displaying and studying archaeological data in relation to space. In our digital age, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow the creation of interactive maps / research tools that can be addressed to various users with different needs and interests. The current map of the ARENA project could be counted among these tools.

The Map presents the archaeological sites, which formed the basis of the bibliographic research carried out in the framework of the ARENA project. For each archaeological site, basic information is presented in tabs, as well as the relevant bibliography collected. The bibliographical references follow the guidelines of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA),while the abbreviations of journal titles and series follow the guidelines of the American Journal of Archaeology (AJA).
The visitor can browse the Map and freely choose the site of interest. Alternatively, the locations displayed on the Map can be restricted by selecting the appropriate filters. Finally, all the sites, for which bibliography was collected, are presented below the Map alphabetically. By choosing a specific site, tabs including information as well as bibliographic sources about the site automatically appear beneath the map.
The names of the sites found in bibliography are recorded as follows: a) based on the ancient name (or names) of the site, followed by a question mark when the ancient site is not Identified with certainty or is not located by an archaeological excavation. The modern name of the site (if it exists) is mentioned in a different field of the site record, b)based on the modern name (or names), if the ancient name is unknown. The dash (-) in between the names of the sites indicates two different names, while the diagonal (/) indicates two different versions of the same site name.
