project: Medieval Warfare on the Grid: The Case of Manzikert
Grant Holder: Professor Vince Gaffney
The Medieval Warfare on the Grid project (MWGrid) employs e-science methods and tools to support historical research into logistics of medieval war. The battle of Manzikert (modern Malazgirt, Turkey) in 1071, between the Byzantine Empire and the Seljuk Turks, is the subject of this investigation. This key event, which paved the way for Turkish settlement in eastern Anatolia, has been previously studied through comparative historical analysis. However, due to limited sources and the lack of comprehensive analytical methods, its logistics remain a subject of speculation. [read more]
project: E-Curator: 3D colour scans for remote object identification and assessment
Grant Holder: Ms Sally MacDonald
The E-Curator research project "3D colour scans for remote object identification and assessment" is a project at UCL Museums and Collections.
This project draws on UCL's expertise both in curatorship and in e-Science. It takes advantage of the presence at UCL of world class collections across a range of disciplines and of a state of the art colour scanner, the quality of which is unequalled in the UK. [read more]
