The project will provide long-term preservation for the rich archaeological resources of the Austrian long-term excavation project at Tell el Daba (TED) in Egypt; it is designed as a case study for the development of a repository for archaeological data at the ACDH. Digital and non-digital excavation data (analogue photographs, drawings, written documentation etc.) will be integrated according to stratigraphic, i.e. archaeological spatio-temporal principles, enriched with metadata and prepared for long-term archiving and open-access online publication. The resulting maps and 3D models will form the basis for a comprehensive virtual reconstruction of the site including its world-famous Minoan wall paintings, making it accessible online for research as well as the interested public.
