Byzantine aqueducts of Constantinople outside the city

This dataset is related to the PhD research of Francesca Ruggeri, published in the thesis 'Engineering the Byzantine Water Supply of Constantinople: mapping, hydrology and hydraulics of the long aqueducts outside the City' (2018) http://hdl.handle.net/1842/31521. This aims at providing additional material resulting from the GIS work presented in Chapter 5 of the thesis. Archaeological survey data were available from previous campaigns carried out by Prof. James Crow in the years 1995-2009 in Turkish Thrace. Such data were systematically reassessed and organised by the author to create a comprehensive database of the remains of the Byzantine aqueducts of Constantinople. This dataset includes: maps of the Byzantine aqueducts and related features, as image files [map]; map locations viewable in Google Earth/Google Maps, as .kmz files [kmz]; shapefiles of Water Supply route and features for GIS use [shp]; lists of features (bridges, tunnels, channels), as Excel files [excel]. All maps and GIS features were created in ESRI ArcMap by F Ruggeri.
