Temenos and Territory - ECONOMIC POWER AND SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE SANCTUARY OF ARTEMIS IN EPHESOS IN THE ROMAN IMPERIAL ERA AND BEYOND
The YIRG-Project ZK 48-G 25 (Young Independent Researcher Groups), supported by the Österreich Fonds, is a cooperation programme between the FWF (Austrian Science Fund) and the OeAW (Austrian Academy of Science).
The project Temenos and Territory is breaking new ground with the analysis of an ancient sanctuary by the interweaving specifically oriented in an interdisciplinary manner, of humanistic and scientific disciplines, extending over all phases and aspects of the project. The significance of the YIRG goes far beyond Ephesos research, but opens up new perspectives for the Austrian research landscape by giving an important new stimulus to the Austrian scientific landscape, due to the incorporation of internationally renowned specialists in the area of "Religious Studies".
