Publications

The Antikythera Mechanism Research Project (AMRP) publishes results on a stable basis, as data is processed and results are analyzed [last update: June 3, 2010].

The first article was published in "Nature" in 2006:
Decoding the ancient Greek astronomical calculator known as the Antikythera Mechanism
Subsequently, a second article was published in "Nature" in 2008, whit authors being members of the research project and scientific collaborators from the field of history of astronomy:
Calendars with Olympiad display and eclipse prediction on the Antikythera Mechanism

Before the creation of the AMRP, two members had already published scholarly articles on the Mechanism. The first was Mike Edmunds, in 2000:
The Antikythera Mechanism: still a mystery of Greek Astronomy.
Tony Freeth published two articles in 2002:
The Antikythera Mechanism: 1. Challenging the classic research
The Antikythera Mechanism: 2. Is it Posidonius' orrery?

In 2009, Tony Freeth has also published this article in Scientific American, fifty years after Derek Price's initial article in the same journal.

In addition to these, the AMRP published three booklets with the cooperation of other institutions:
A catalogue to accompany an exhibition at the Whipple Museum of the History of Science, University of Cambridge, in July 2008:
The Antikythera Mechansm: Decoding an Ancient Greek Mystery by Tony Freeth
An abstract booklet for the Athens Conference in 2006, published with the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece:
Decoding the Antikythera Mechanism: Science and Technology in Ancient Greece.
A catalogue to accompany an exhibition at the National Hellenic Research Foundation, in December 2010.

We are expecting more publications in the near future, both from the AMRP and from scientific collaborators of the Research Project. This page will be regularly updated.
