Abstract

Since 2010, the conflict in Syria has made it almost impossible to conduct fieldwork in the country. The Palmyra Portrait Project at Aarhus University has since 2012 been compiling the now largest corpus of funerary portraits in the ancient world, outside of Rome, which were produced in the Syrian city of Palmyra in the first three centuries CE. During the project, fieldwork diaries of the Danish archaeologist Kai Harald Ingholt, who worked in Palmyra between 1924 and 1935, are also being digitized and the information in these can be used to reconstruct in-situ contexts, which no longer exist. In this paper, we, for the first time, present the sketches and information given in the diaries, along with archival photos, paintings, inscriptions, and sculptures in an interactive web-based digital model of a monumental underground tomb, the so-called tomb of Ḥairan.
