The Melammu Project: The Intellectual Heritage of Assyria and Babylonia in East and West
 http://www.aakkl.helsinki.fi/melammu/layout/melammulogo.jpg

The Assyrian and Babylonian Intellectual Heritage Project (Melammu) investigates the continuity, transformation and diffusion of Mesopotamian culture throughout the ancient world from the second millennium BC until Islamic times. A central objective of the project is to create an electronic database collecting the relevant textual, art-historical, archaeological, ethnographic and linguistic evidence and making it easily accessible on the Internet. In addition, the project organizes annual symposia focusing on different aspects of cultural continuity and evolution in the ancient world.

This is the website of the Melammu Project. It features information about its symposia and proceedings, the Melammu Database, bibliographies of Melammu-related themes and pdf files of relevant articles.

Digitized Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL) at Arachne

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 07:11 AM PST

 [First posted in AWOL 30 January 2012.  Most recently updated 12 December 2012]

Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL)
The Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL) is a comprehensive collection of ancient Latin inscriptions from all corners of the Roman Empire. Public and personal inscriptions throw light on all aspects of Roman life and history. The Corpus continues to be updated with new editions and supplements by the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften. http://cil.bbaw.de/cil_en/index_en.html
http://cil.bbaw.de/cil_en/dateien/cil_baende.html

This digitized version of the CIL will initially comprise of the more than 50 parts (of vols. I-XVI + auctaria and of v. I (edition altera)) published before 1940. Available funding covers the digitization of the volumes with an imperfect OCR searching capability. The goal is to eventually create a keyword searchable database to contain also future volumes of the CIL as they fall outside of copyright restrictions and to eventually do the same for the Inscriptiones Graecae.
The printed version of the CIL presently consists of 17 volumes in approximately 70 parts, recording some 180,000 inscriptions. Thirteen supplementary volumes have plates and specialized indices. The first volume, in two sections, covered the oldest inscriptions, to the end of the Roman Republic; volumes II to XIV are divided geographically, according to the regions where the inscriptions were found and within these divisions also by inscription type. A two-volume "Index of Numbers," correlating inscription numbers with volume numbers, was published in 2003.

Background

In 2009 the Heads of the libraries of the American Academy in Rome, Rebecka Lindau, and École Française de Rome, Yannick Nexon, met to discuss the possibility of digitizing the volumes of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum currently out of copyright. This had been a desire of both for a long time. Soon the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut and the Head of its library, Thomas Fröhlich, joined the project. Providing a server to host the volumes was more of a challenge. The DAI and Reinhard Foertsch at the University of Cologne came to the rescue with their object database Arachne, which is dynamically connected to international aggregators such as Claros.net or the multinational European project CARARE, and freely available on the Web http://www.arachne.uni-koeln.de/drupal/.

Mappa: Metodologie applicae alla predittività del potenziale archeologico
http://mappaproject.arch.unipi.it/wp-content/themes/mappa/images/logoMappa.gif


 Un network di sistemi e procedure standardizzate per la redazione e la gestione dei dati archeologici: questo è il nostro obbiettivo! La città, lo spazio geografico su cui lavoreremo.
Archeologi, geologi e matematici insieme per studiare strumenti di calcolo predittivo applicabili al potenziale archeologico di un'area urbana e creare un prodotto funzionale alla tutela, alla ricerca e alla governance della città e del suo patrimonio sepolto.
La sfida: realizzare il primo open digital archaeological archive italiano, rendendo accessibili tutti i dati pubblici delle indagini archeologiche, convinti che garantire l'accesso e la condivisione del patrimonio storico comune sia il mezzo migliore per sviluppare una società della conoscenza veramente libera e democratica.
Utilizzare le diverse potenzialità della rete come mezzo di comunicazione in progress delle fasi di lavoro e dei risultati e come strumento di ricerca in sé.
Formare nuove figure professionali con un profilo interdisciplinare che possano dialogare trasversalmente con la comunità scientifica e la società civile.
MAPPAproject è tutto questo… follow us!

A network of systems and standardised procedures for drawing up and handling archaeological data: this is our aim! The city will be our geographical area of work.
Archaeologists, geologists and mathematicians will combine their expertise to study predictive calculation instruments applied to the archaeological potential of an urban area and to create a product which will contribute to the protection, research and governance of the city and of its underground archaeological heritage.
Our challenges are:
To create the first Italian open digital archaeological archive and make all public data relating to the archaeological investigations accessible. We are convinced that ensuring access and sharing historical heritage is the most effective means for developing a truly free and democratic knowledge-based society.
To use the web's wide-ranging potential as a means for communicating project work progress and results, and as a research tool.
To train new professional figures with inter-disciplinary skills who will be able to liaise transversally with the scientific community and civil society.
The MAPPA project is all this… follow us!

Pubblicazioni


La filosofia del progetto prevede la comunicazione e diffusione dei risultati della ricerca in un'ottica di sviluppo di una società della conoscenza veramente libera e democratica.
Mappa si configura come il primo vero progetto open data archeologico italiano e prevede, già a partire dalle primissime fasi di lavoro, la condivisione di tutti i dati. Saranno riportati in questa pagina, a partire dal secondo mese di progetto, i report, le fasi di avanzamento, i dati ed i prodotti della ricerca.
The project's philosophy is based on the disclosure and diffusion of the research results and is geared towards the development of a truly free and democratic knowledge-based society.
MAPPA is the first open-data archaeological project in Italy and provides sharing of project data starting from the very early stages of the project. Research reports, work progress, data and products will be reported on this page from month two of the project.

Linear B tablets as never before seen (RTI)

Posted: 11 Dec 2012 11:21 AM PST

On behalf of John Bennet
Linear B tablets as never before seen

The Ashmolean Museum of the University of Oxford has recently launched a website on the "Sir Arthur Evans Archive" providing a first, basic, overview of its holdings. Although not to item level, the website is a welcome addition and promises to be a very useful tool for Aegean Archaeology (especially for those interested in Minoan archaeology and its history). The website is based on the work of Dr Yannis Galanakis (formerly the curator for the Bronze Age Aegean collections and the Sir Arthur Evans archive at the Ashmolean and currently Lecturer in Aegean Archaeology at the University of Cambridge). One of the innovations of the website, instigated by Dr Galanakis in collaboration with Oxford's RTI team (Dr Jacob Dahl, Klaus Wagensonner and Nicholas Reid), is the digitization of the museum's small, but representative, Linear B collection from Knossos. The technology applied (RTI: Reflectance Transformation Imaging) allows for the best possible reading of these tablets online as it were under a completely new light:  



With the RTIViewer (free to download - following instructions in the webpage given above), you can access the Linear B photographs by cutting and pasting the url into the application (using the globe and folder icon to the right of the main screen of the RTIViewer). The images can be enlarged to magnificent effect and the lighting changed to make readings clearer and to see fingerprints and erasures. This resource should prove extremely useful for teaching and this form of visualisation may pave the way for future research in the field. For comments on the web site please contact the Ashmolean's webmaster at webmaster@ashmus.ox.ac.uk.
