Projects
The School has produced a number of project reports, monographs, occasional papers and websites relevant to research in History, Archaeology and Religion.
Inscriptions on stone are the most important documentary source for the history of the ancient city of Athens and its surrounding region, Attica. This project makes available online the inscriptions of ancient Athens and Attica in English translation.
The site of Saqqara is well known as the location of Egypt's earliest pyramid, but few visitors are aware that deep below the desert surface lies a lost world of catacombs provided for the burial of sacred animals. Careful study by Cardiff archaeologists of its construction, layout and animal inhabitants is yielding new and exciting results. This project is in association with the Egypt Exploration Society.
A long-running research project, supported by funding from Historic Scotland, on the island of South Uist, part of the Western Isles of Scotland, that has been particularly important in exploring the human occupation of the island from the Neolithic through to the end of the medieval period.
