using VectorGlobe by Cartografx (www.cartografx.com)
and then modified to add biblical sites and other features and should also
be considered copyrighted material.
Site Plans
Site plans used to navigate the web site are compilations
of numerous published studies and the result of personal surveys of the archaeological
sites. While showing the general layout of a city/region or the general shape
of a building they are not topographically detailed nor keyed to a narrow
time frame, but were produced to provide some context for the images displayed.
Detailed study of a site should refer to the more accurate maps produced by
the group excavating each site.
