Die Ausdehnung der aksumitischen Zone in den Süden, eine nicht erforschte Kulturlandschaft
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
1. The Mifsas Bahri Project was successful to provide a community-based research project with model character. Main attributes include a strong interaction with the local population, a good Open Access documentation which make Mifsas Baḥri site 001 a benchmark for the Late Aksumite Period with a steady track record. Other comparably financed projects have not met these standards in Ethiopia. 2. Surprising was the clarity of the dating to the Late Aksumite Period and a fair correspondence in terms of 14C dating. 3. In addition to conventional publication, our study group entered 2173 images of our project in the virtual diatheque heidICON of Heidelberg’s University Library. This is the first such public and gratis archiving of its kind in Africa, as far as I know (https://heidicon.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/BildsucheFrames?easydb=dpn4utclkeh9ge33ajqdcdhps3).
