- Interactive map of “The Deserted City of Ani”- Lots of extensive information on many of the

different cites within the city, which the viewer may access easily.

- Constant updates (last one 1/8/06)- Very cool presentation in both the map page as

well as the information pages.

Link to Virtual Ani

- Interactive map of the Ancient Near East Region- Map shows not individual cities, but regions.- Interactive aspect of the map allows viewer to

click through time and watch the regions shift.- Very cool presentation; some text hard to read.- When clicking on regions, given links to many

websites for further information. Some of the linked sites are a somewhat unrelated.

Link to Medieval Map

- Loads of very extensive information on many cities and sites.

- Not all sites have good information.- Easy to navigate if you know what you’re looking

for, but hard if you’re unsure; no way to search.- Poor presentation.- Information on specific sites, not entire cities.

Link to Lists of Medieval Fortified Sites

- Easy to navigate.- Decent amount of information on certain topics,

but not a wide variety of topics to choose from.- Need a plug-in to be able to view some

information.- No bibliography.- Designed by high school students, so sources of

information could be unreliable.

Link to Medieval Fiefdom

- Fair amount of good information, but also a lot of useless information as well.

- Mainly about presentation and visuals, not as much about facts.

- In-site search engine not very helpful.- Hard to navigate / find what you are looking for.- Even the visuals that are the focus of the site are

not always very good.
