Construction processes and economic dynamics in Miletus (1st to 3rd Century AD). An economic and archaeometric study of the stone resources of the Meander regionThe construction industry is considered today a determinant indicator of economic development. Though studies have shown that intensive construction activity during Antiquity leads to a dynamic flow of building material, manpower and technology, the comprehension of the economics of construction processes remains a research desideratum. Both the intensive construction activity at Miletus during the Roman Imperial time as well as the stone resources, so abundantly available in the Meander region are relevant factors in sizing and analysing economic dynamics. Additionally this dynamics occur in a key region of Asia Minor, where the framework for economic activities is marked by the geomorphological changes of the Meander Delta. By treating stone resources as economic goods, quantifying them according to economic and geological criteria and using them for empiric calculations of the economic effort, the project aims to study the economic implications of city-based construction processes on the local and regional economy. Furthermore the project aims to investigate the procurement strategies in construction and to determine the organisation of construction sites and the activity of craftsmanship on a local and regional level.The project addresses topics of actual scientific debate. This concerns particularly the incomplete record of the economics of ancient construction processes, primarily in terms of the methodological approaches, and secondly with regard to the potential of the ornamental decoration as a source for understanding the construction operations. In addition comes that the provenance analysis of the marbles from the Meander region is actually object of arguments; an infrastructure of archaeometrical data connected with archaeological objects still pends.New scientific results will be achieved through an interdisciplinary approach that combines the methods of the classical and economic archaeology on one hand, with archaeometry as well as with the GIS-supported analysis, on the other. Central for the project is a set of archaeometric analyses for marble provenance and the implementation of Marble.Arch as a digital archive for archaeometric reference data of the main ancient marble quarries. The fieldwork at Miletus is carried out under the excavation-license area of the DAI, whereas the quarry-survey is planed as cooperation with the Geologic Department of the University of Izmir. The marble provenance analysis gains from the close collaboration with renowned experts from Italy, Austria and the German Mining Museum (Bochum). The results are to be disseminated by preliminary reports and a monograph. Presentation and long-term preservation of the digital data occur in the database systems: Marble.Arch and iDAI.field.

米利都(公元1至3世纪)的建筑过程和经济动态。对梅恩德地区石材资源的经济和考古研究今天，建筑业被认为是经济发展的决定性指标。虽然研究表明，古代密集的建筑活动导致了建筑材料、人力和技术的动态流动，但对建筑过程经济学的理解仍然是一个研究的需要。罗马帝国时期在米利图斯的密集建筑活动以及米兰德地区丰富的石材资源，都是衡量和分析经济动态的相关因素。此外，这种动态发生在小亚细亚的一个关键区域，那里的经济活动框架以Meander三角洲的地貌变化为标志。通过将石材资源视为经济品，根据经济和地质标准将其量化，并将其用于经济努力的经验计算，该项目旨在研究以城市为基础的建设过程对当地和区域经济的经济影响。此外，该项目旨在调查建筑方面的采购战略，并确定当地和区域一级的建筑工地组织和手工艺活动。这尤其涉及到古代建筑过程的经济学记录不完整，主要是在方法方法方面，其次是关于装饰性装饰作为了解建筑作业的来源的潜力。此外，对Meander地区大理石的来源分析实际上是争论的对象；与考古对象相关的考古测量数据基础设施仍然悬而未决。新的科学成果将通过结合古典和经济考古学方法、考古测量学以及地理信息系统支持的分析方法的跨学科方法来实现。该项目的核心是一套大理石来源的考古分析和Marble.Arch作为主要古代大理石采石场考古参考数据的数字档案馆的实施。米利图斯的野外工作是在DAI的挖掘许可证区域下进行的，而采石场调查是与伊兹密尔大学地质系合作计划的。大理石产地分析得益于与意大利、奥地利和德国矿业博物馆(波鸿)的知名专家的密切合作。结果将通过初步报告和专著传播。数字数据的列报和长期保存在数据库系统中进行：Marble.Arch和iDAI.field。
