摘要：Maps with archaeological themes constitute a distinct area of cartographic interest. Even before the era of scientific archaeology (which started in the 19thcentury), archaeological thematic subjects were depicted on maps, in one way or another. The Greek world and its history and archaeology become a popular map subject, starting from the 15thcentury and onwards. The history of archaeological mapping concerning Greece has developed along two main paths: mapping the archaeological locations/monuments and/or historical places and mapping for the archaeological excavations concerning the Greek world. The outcome of the above constitutes a body of an interesting cartographic heritage, which physically can be found in various forms and locations (i.e. libraries, books, atlases etc.) The paper attempts to approach this fragmented and diffused cartographic heritage by means of digital tools in order to suggest and provide an environment for a virtual overview of its components.The aim of the work is to propose the use of a global platform for positioning and viewing the maps in geographic space and in time, together with an interface for accessing and displaying relevant information
