"Digital Enhancement of Argolid, Arcadia and Corinthia castles" is an ongoing project, currently carried out under the jurisdiction of the newly established Argolid Ephorate of Antiquities. It concerns the creation of an archaeological-centered web-platform and smart-phone application for researchers and public, containing 105 sites of castles, fortified locations and individual towers, scattered within the geographical borders of the aforementioned prefectures. The current essay examines how the documentation methodology leads the visitor to extract comparative scientific data concerning the archaeological sites and fortified architecture in general by presenting what is the platform's contribution to visualizing archaeological space.

However, the quantity and quality of the remains (such as elevated structures, ruined buildings, planimetric or toponymic traces) invites us to reconsider the sole examination of Ottoman administrative or narrative sources, which has been widely favoured until now.

By using materiality studies and building archaeology, the panel papers will question the contribution of these approaches by relying on complementary case studies: taking place over the long term, the investigated contexts are milestones on the Ottoman European front as well, whether on the maritime façades or inland, from the outskirts of Istanbul to the borderlands.

More specifically, the chronological framework of the Early Modernity raises the question of the adaptation of military architecture to a new art of war brought by the artillery development. This panel will thus discuss the modalities of this adaptation in the Ottoman context through presentations dealing successively with new constructions, replacements and abandonments.

By bringing texts and remains together, this panel will consider the methods, results and limits for each of the presented contexts, with a view to a more general questioning of our relationship to materiality.
