Architectural and Archaeological Field Research of the Athena Pronaia Sanctuary at Delphi

1)建筑遗迹图纸继1995年进行田野调查之后，雅典娜·普罗尼亚保护区于1996年夏天为Tholos夫妇进行了调查工作。在这次调查中，我们按1：30的比例绘制了Tholos的平面图和剖面图，并以1：5的比例绘制了从建筑中拆除的街区的图纸。在通过航拍绘制的基础平面图上增加了细节，2)建筑技术分析Tholos是由于斜坡的逐渐滑动而变形的，其精确直径模糊。通过我们的分析，我们计算出茎突的直径为10.4870米，相当于古足系统的45英尺。该建筑是在简单比例的基础上设计的，并显示了与雅典帕台农神庙的可能性，因为4：9的比例可以识别，而且材料是五旬节大理石。3)研究评估研究的价值首先是我们可以制作详细的建筑文件，这是研究古典纪念碑的原创和必要的。通过本研究获得的图纸和尺寸数据是不可或缺的，世界上所有的研究人员都可以共享这些信息。研究的第二个价值是对Tholos建筑技术的新分析。我们在日本建筑学会九州分会的学术会议上发表了部分成果。我们将继续进行进一步的详细研究。

1) Drawings of the architeftual remainsFollowing the field research in the season 1995, the survey work of the Athena Pronaia Sanctuary was carried out for the Tholos in summer of 1996. In this survey, we made a plan and section of the Tholos in scale of 1: 30, and drawings in scale of 1: 5 of the blocks which had been dismantled from the building. To the plan the details were added on the base plan which had been drawn through aerial photograph.2) Analysis of the building techniqueThe Tholos was deformed being caused by gradual sliding of the slope, and its precise diameter was vague. Through our analysis the diameter of the stylobate was calculated as 10.4870 m which is equivalent to 45 feet in ancient foot system. The building was designed on the basis of the simple proportion, and shows the likelihood to the Parthenon in Athens because the ratio of 4:9 can be identified and also the material is Pentelic marble.3) Assessment of the researchThe value of the research is first of all that we could make the detailed architectural document which is original and essential in the study of the classical monument. The drawings and dimensional data which were gained by this research is indispensable and all the researchers in the world can share the information. The second value of the research is the new analysis of building technique of the Tholos. We published partially the result in the academic meeting of Architectural Institute of Japan, Kyushu Branch. We are going to continue the research further in detail.
