CHANGE Project Site Finds Database

The CHANGE Project Site Finds Database provides basic data on published coins found in archaeological excavations in the region of Anatolia and neighbouring islands, with production dates between c. 600 and 30 BC. Each entry refers to an individual coin excavated on a site (some stray finds and coins found in funerary contexts are also included, coin hoards found in excavations are not). The key aim is to support research into monetary production and circulation in Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Anatolia.

The data uses Linked Open Data technology and the standards of the nomisma.org project. It can be searched by different criteria: publication, site, mint, ARCH type, metal, production date, find region, authority and site type (where available). It can also be downloaded from here

The data has been derived from publications by many scholars, to whom we are very grateful. Particular thanks are due to Zeynep Çizmeli Öğün for her 2017 survey of publications. The database is not comprehensive, and we hope further publications will be added in due course.
