Description

Archaeology in Greece Online / La Chronique des fouilles en ligne (CFL/AGO) is a bilingual, illustrated database of archaeological fieldwork in Greece and Cyprus, jointly run by the French School at Athens (EFA) and the British School at Athens (BSA). Launched in 2009 and rebuilt in 2018, it merges two long-standing printed series: the EFA's Chronique des fouilles in the Bulletin de Correspondance Hellénique (since 1920) and Archaeological Reports (published by the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies and the BSA). Each notice documents one fieldwork operation, in English or French depending on the region, and can be searched by keyword, period, image or map. Notices are preliminary reports, not final publications of the finds. Its toponym database doubles as a gazetteer of sites, linked to Pleiades and GeoNames and, through a project begun in 2023, being aligned with the Archaeological Cadastre of the Greek Ministry of Culture. An open API and data model (since 2019) support reuse. The Chronika project, funded by CollEx-Persée, is retro-digitising the BCH Chronique (1920–2004) into the database, with links back to Persée; it currently reaches back to 1973.
