Winner of the 2017 ASOR Joy Ungerleider Poster Award. This poster presents the results of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis of major itineraries followed by visitors to the Mani Peninsula, Greece, over the past two millennia. The earliest "travel writer" to visit was Pausanias in the 2nd century AD. Beginning in the 15th century, many more cartographers, geographers, and tax officials began exploring the peninsula, leaving us their accounts and observations about the contemporary and ancient sites they encountered. Our analysis demonstrates that geographical considerations and political motivations often influenced the paths taken by travelers. As a result, their coverage of mountainous landscapes was limited, and many important sites were omitted from their written accounts. It is critical for modern scholars to continue investigating the "empty" areas on the map where early adventures did not stray.
