Therefore, in 2013 and 2014 a digital documentation project has been conducted with support of the National Geographic Society in order to generate a detailed digital model of Akrotiri’s architecture using terrestrial laser scanning and image-based modeling. Additionally, non-invasive geophysical prospection has been tested in order to investigate its potential to explore and map yet buried archaeological remains. This article describes the project and the generated results.

The modern buildings, power lines and the streets with a lot of cars cause a very noisy environment for geophysical prospection. A football ground of about 50x90 m was chosen for

Abb. 1) bezeugt mehrere bislang noch nicht bekannte Mauerverläufe unterschiedlicher (auch vorhellenistischer) Zeitstellung, die auf eine sehr komplexe Abfolge von Befestigungsanlagen (?) schließen lassen. 131 Eine ursprünglich vorgenommene Interpretation als Kirche scheidet aufgrund der Orientierung der Apsis nach Westen aus: St.
