Mapping the Classical World Since 1869: Past and Future Directions, SCS Annual Meeting 2019 Panel Online

Mapping the Classical World Since 1869: Past and Future Directions, SCS Annual Meeting 2019 Panel Online
SCS Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA, January 4, 2019
Invited Sesquicentennial Panel
A 1980 APA/SCS committee report (Research Tools for the Classics) was correct on both counts to declare cartography at that date “an area of extremely great importance, where the state of our tools is utterly disastrous.”  The panel briefly discusses the disappointing lack of progress made during the previous past century, and advances reasons for its limitations (Papers #1, 2).  The main focus of the five papers, however, is on the transformation successfully achieved since around 1980, and still ongoing.
Organizer & chair: Richard Talbert, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
