Westhammar is an information platform for the fields of Near Eastern Archaeology and Paleoecology with the emphasis on the West Hammar Marshes in southern Iraq. It makes both web-based content and textual summaries equally accessible to scholars and the interested public

Westhammar is, in the first instance, meant to complement the existing and planned academic publications (articles, chapters in edited volumes and monographs) with digital material. These are especially photographs, 3D models, panorama views and Web GIS applications. They should not only contribute to archaeological research but also offer illustrative materials to the general public. In addition, short summaries of the results of the research are included.
