Aesthetics

The dominant color scheme adopted is meant to echo the earth tones that most characterize the excavation:

• the mottled light beige of the clay matrix for the background (*);
• the reddish dark brown of the soil in the fields for the text;
• the green of the vegetation in spring for secondary tiers in the left sidebar.

A smaller font, in black, is used for the more technical portions of each page.

A brighter blue color is used to call attention, to active links, while a lighter purple is used for visited links – the intent being that the visited links might be recognized, but without distracting the flow of the argument.

Palatino Linotype, Georgia, and Times Roman are the font families used throughout.

(*) The background is the scan of a sherd’s exterior surface from the excavations.
