University of Southampton Portus Project
Directed by Simon Keay,
the Portus Project is guided by two main objectives. Firstly, it seeks
to build a better understanding of Portus itself, as well as its
relationship to Ostia, Rome, and the rest of the Mediterranean.
Secondly, it aims to develop techniques that will enhance the ways in
which highly complex classical sites can be investigated and recorded,
and evaluate the impact of those techniques. Used in combination,
non-destructive survey, open area excavation, and the computer graphic
representation of excavated and graphically-simulated Roman buildings
are key components to achieving these objectives.
