This week Dan and me will discuss how to do it finally and then Jasper just has to provide the space
As nobody has posted critics or questions about the suggested classification it seems to be not the badest way it could be done...

Thanks Gioi. I was wondering where were you? Do you see both images in the same size in my second post? In my screen i see the original one bigger. I don't know why,in photoshop the size is 298x320 pixels.

Nice drawings Giannis...very good quality!
....I hope you will forgive me though if I say that the photographs would be better from a scholarship point of view........where do these come from? Olympia? Is it possible to ask the copyright owner for permission to use them?
If not, then drawings like your excellent samples will definitely be 'good enough' pending an available photo!
I am a little concerned that we haven't heard from Dan or Andreas, though. I've tried a P.M. to both of them , and checked with Jasper...he hasn't heard anything either.It is looking increasingly as if it is going to be next year before anything happens.......

Can we add something like this below to the database so we know what the difference between "type" and origin of a helm?
I.E.
The type Illyrian helmet originated in the Peloponnese and is Greek at 7th century bc the term "illyrian" is conventional just like all terms for helms.
Terms such as Illyrian and attic are used in archaeology for convenience to denote a particulat type of helmet and do not imply its origin.

There shouldn't be any problem with beginning the database with pictures personally taken by members of the board here. I personally can provide a few to begin, if the organizers want them.

Yes but again we need to ask permition to use the photos. The reference of the book would not be enough.

I understand.I am more interested in separating and clarifying a conventional term from the origins of the Helm.Both should be stated.

I'm just talking about photographs from museums. I've taken these pictures myself, and so I own the copyright to them.
