Amphoras Project
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/amphoras/project.html
“This site contains information on plain, unglazed, ceramic storage containers, with two handles, mostly pointed at the bottom, used to carry wine, oil, fish, and other commodities around the ancient Mediterranean. AMPHORAS is making available part of the archive collected by Virginia R. Grace at the excavations of the Agora at Athens, as well as some additional materials. Included are: a bibliography of scholarly work on finding, identifying, and studying Greek and Roman amphoras and the trade they carried; passages in ancient Greek literature on the use of amphoras (quoted in English); translations into English of works (or parts of works) published in Russian on amphoras; links to other Web sites with amphora information and/or images (excavations, wrecks, etc) and other sources of bibliography. We are constructing a searchable database of descriptions and stamp readings of published Greek (and some Roman) amphoras, including some illustrations.”

Greek Epigraphy Project
“The Greek Epigraphy Project at Cornell University has been in existence for ten years. Our goal is to make available computerized texts of as many Greek inscriptions as possible, from all areas and periods. This data bank of inscriptions is not intended to replace or reproduce printed editions: we do not attempt to reproduce the precise layout of printed texts, broken letters, critical apparatus, or commentary. The primary purpose of the data bank is to allow the texts to be searched as quickly and efficiently as possible by a variety of computers with appropriate programs.” The site includes a history of the project, ordering information for the CDROM, a list of contents for the CDROM, and related materials.
