Figure 3: A plan of the previous excavations carried out at Sikyon in the Agora (after Papachatzis 1976, 90).

Figure 4: An overhead view of the Sikyon plateau with the modern villages of Vasiliko and Moulki shown. The digitised field boundaries as well as the previously excavated monuments are also visible.

Figure 5: A view of the Upper Plateau and tracts.

Figure 6: Some fieldwalkers going through a square in the upper plateau.

Figure 7a and 7b: The square and tract record forms used to record data in the field.

Figure 8: An example of the static maps previously used by the project members. This example shows the ceramic distribution by sherds per square metre.

Figure 9: The corresponding image of Code Listing 1 displayed in Adobe SVG Viewer (after Watt et al. 2003, 35).

Figure 10: The final prototype of the Sikyon interactive image in IE6.

Figure 11: An example of the Ajax functionality. As the mouse moves over the tract in the SVG image, the associated attribute data is displayed in the Web page asynchronously.

Figure 12: Another view of the interactive image in action with a set of layers turned off.

Figure 13: An example of Firefox 1.5 failing to render the SVG correctly.

Figure 14: An image of a solar-powered WiFi router which could potentially be used in the field (Used with permission from: http://www.phaster.com/golden_hill_free_web/)

Figure 15a and 15b: Screenshots of the presentational and geometry tables which are fundamental to the recent development of the tool.

Figure 16: A schematic outline of the client-servlet-server interaction.
