Olympia: Diachronic Development of the Votive Gifts from the 10th to the 5th Centuries B.C. in the Sanctuary of Zeus

美因茨的Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum和德国考古研究所雅典部之间的项目合作的目的是分析奥林匹亚宙斯圣殿从原始地理测量到古典时期（公元前10世纪至公元前5世纪）的主要金属祭品的历时发展，使用一贯的考古学和统计学方法。这样，第一次在奥林匹亚的奉献习俗的历史概述将根据现有的来源开发。我们的目标是从历时的角度对奉献者的起源和意图、还愿礼物的呈现、还愿礼物和邪教的发展、圣所中的活动和圣所中崇拜的神产生结果。基于在奥林匹亚发现的大量还愿祭品，同时出版，有可能使用一个坚实的和大多数经过仔细编辑的源数据库来分析这些主题，从而为公元前1千纪上半叶的泛希腊邪教历史做出重大贡献。

The aim of project cooperation between the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum in Mainz and the Athens Department of the German Archaeological Institute is the analysis of the diachronic development of the largely metal votive offerings in the Zeus sanctuary of Olympia from the Protogeometric to the Classical period (10th to 5th centuries B.C.), using consistently archaeological and statistical methods. In this way, for the first time an overview of the history of the dedication customs in Olympia shall be developed basing on the available sources. Our aim is to produce results on the origins and intentions of the dedicators, the presentation of votive gifts and the development of votive offerings and cults in a diachronic perspective, the activities in the sanctuary and the gods worshipped in the sanctuary. Based on the huge amount of votive offerings discovered in Olympia and meanwhile published, it is possible to analyse these themes using a solid and mostly carefully edited source base and thus to provide a substantial contribution to the history of the pan-Hellenic cult place in the first half of the 1st millennium B.C.
