British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan

2008-07-24T19:49:00.003+01:00

The ninth issue of the open access journal British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan is available here today.

Editorial

This issue features three papers from the Annual Egyptological Colloquium held at the British Museum in summer 2007: The ‘Head of the South’: current research in Upper Egypt, south of Thebes (July 12–13). It is intended that further papers from the colloquium will appear in a future issue of BMSAES.

Visitors to the British Museum website may have noticed that the collection of the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan is now available through the Museum's Collection database online, through which visitors can order images for academic publication, free of charge.

Stable Geographic Entities

I have blogged previously on AWBG about stable resources. Those interested in the topic may want to read Tom Elliott's post Barrington Atlas IDs on Horothesia. It's important work that we can all use. You'll see that I already am. But those of us interested in the topic hope to achieve something of a "network effect" that benefits the entire community. So please adopt Barrington IDs if you think they have a role in your online efforts.

William T. Sanders, 1926 - 2008

2008-07-06T02:41:00.004+01:00

William T. Sanders, one of the most productive and prolific Mesoamericanist archaeologists of the twentieth century, passed away July 3. I have posted a brief personal memory, emphasizing his publication record, on Publishing Archaeology.

I have also made a list of books by Sanders on WorldCat.

"Point-and-Click Archaeology"

2008-07-02T16:57:00.002+01:00

From the July 1, 2008 edition of The Wired Campus

Armchair archaeologists will have ringside, or dig-side, seats this month at university explorations of the world’s richest collection of rock art and the ruins of a Panamanian village that may once have been spotted by Christopher Columbus’s son, among other expeditions. Instead of swatting mosquitos, all they will have to do is click a mouse.

During July, undergraduates from the University of California at Los Angeles will write blogs from seven locations where they are taking part in archaeological digs. The countries include Albania, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and the U.S.

The blogs are for public consumption. “We want to create the next generation of archaeology fans,” Ran Boytner, director of international research at UCLA’s Cotsen Institute of Archaeology and head of the field studies program, said in a prepared statement.

The blogs will be written by students in UCLA’s field studies program. They will describe work at the largest group of pre-Columbian forts in the New World, in Ecuador; a 19th-century village in British Columbia that shows contact between newly arrived Europeans and indigenous peoples; remains of a Native American culture on Catalina Island, off the California coast; and a Peruvian valley lived in first by Inca emperors and later by Spanish conquistadors.

Transparency of Authorship in CDLI

2008-07-02T16:08:00.002+01:00

A further note on sources of CDLI data

At the end of February of this year, we posted to the Agade mailing list a notice on "CDLI's policy of open access, and of fair use of published images of cuneiform inscriptions." While we hope that all colleagues welcome a central online access point for quick cuneiform text reference, we have received a number of recommendations that we improve the transparency of the authorship of all contributions to the documentation of primary cuneiform sources in CDLI pages.

The data source information that we have been able to cull from our own records is now online. Take for instance the text BCT 2, 2. The initial section of this page, according to our presentation format, contains in the left column a list of common catalogue information, including publication, author, collection IDs, provenience and period, together with a link to a page with greater catalogue detail, but now, added in the right column, metadata tags concerning the original sources of data found here. The catalogue entry itself derives in the first instance from the upload of a legacy database of the CDLI project named "20011220ur3cat"; the entry thus was entered to CDLI's central database on 20 December 2001, using the database "ur3cat", itself ultimately in large part a derivative of an Ur III database maintained by Marcel Sigrist in the 1990's. The original electronic transliteration of BCT 2, 2, was prepared by the Leiden team of Remco de Maaijer and Bram Jagersma

The digital image of the original artifact was prepared by CDLI staff (in this case by Jacob Dahl in Birmingham, processed by Englund in Los Angeles) and is for the non-commercial use of any person, but is, as in the case of all images of original objects prepared by CDLI staff, subject to the commercial copyright of the institution where the text is housed, here the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery. Digital line art ("hand copies") of cuneiform artifacts, prepared by CDLI staff or other collaborating contributors, is, unless otherwise noted, to be credited to the primary publication author(s) cited in the first line of the catalogue section, thus in this case the published line art derives from the hand of Phil Watson. (Hand copies of earlier editors are as a rule stored as "line art detail".) Finally, we have initiated an automatic feed of transliteration revisions just below the transliteration found in the right column of the next section. The first "revision" of most current CDLI transliterations is credited to "cdlistaff" and represents simply their initial entry to our transliteration server.

We are hopeful that these steps will heighten the web presence of, and access to, collections, publications, and professional participation in cuneiform scholarship; we of course welcome corrections to the numerous errors and omissions that undoubtedly lurk in these new credit lines, and recommendations on how we might improve this process.

ETANA Core Texts Full Listing

The civilizations of the ancient Near East produced the world's earliest written texts — in hieroglyphs, cuneiform, and alphabets — with which they described the first empires, recorded the first legal codifications, preserved the first love songs, and registered the first contracts, among states or individuals. Not surprisingly, these cultures elicited broad curiosity among later civilizations, our own not excepted, resulting in a flood of evaluation, scholarly or otherwise. While the discovery of new texts always leads to new evaluation, it is remarkable how assessments arrived at decades ago continue to be of much value, not only because they often carry editions of original documents, but because they contain insights minted freshly after first exposure to major documents.

ETANA (Electronic Texts and Ancient Near Eastern Archives) has digitized, and continues to digitize, texts selected as valuable for teaching and research relating to ancient Near Eastern studies. We have selected primarily editions that are outside of copyright, or with the permission of copyright holders. While the new electronic editions we have produced are under copyright, the ETANA project chooses to make these freely available for noncommercial teaching and research purposes.

As part of a USAID grant to assist Iraqi universities rebuild their archaeology programs and collections, Stony Brook University in New York State has digitized 181 cuneiform text publications and archaeological site reports, including dissertations relating to archaeology in Iraq. Prof. Elizabeth Stone was the Principal Investigator for this grant. These texts are either out of copyright, or Stony Brook has received permission to digitize them. We are pleased to report that Stony Brook has contributed these digital texts to the ETANA Core Texts collection for free access to anyone engaged in teaching and research.

As of today (30 June 2008) there are 355 digitized books and one developing resource (eTACT) in ETANA Core Texts. In response to numerous request, I present here all of those titles in a single list organized alphabetically by author's name. Oddities (to some) of the way entries were originally added to the database are known to me and are retained here. We are always seeking ways to improve ETANA and Abzu, so comments are welcome.

Recollections of the Museum of Antiquities

2008-06-27T21:17:00.004+01:00

I received a mailing from the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne today. The Museum of Antiquities at Newcastle University that holds key finds from Hadrian's Wall has finally closed its doors. The museum was opened in 1960 by Sir Ian Richmond and it is celebrated in a new collection of poems and photographs, Recollections.

This volume brings together the poetry of the museum’s poet-in-residence, Maureen Almond, and the photographs of the museum’s Audio-Visual Officer, Glyn Goodrick and explores the interconnections between the Romans and the modern museum visitor. Its elegant and stylish design make it an ideal souvenir of the museum and its collections.

And before you get too worried ... the holdings of the Museum of Antiquities will be moving to The Great North Museum. Gallery plans are now available, including the interactive model of Hadrian's Wall.

Review of User Requirements for Digitised Resources in Islamic Studies

2008-06-27T15:51:00.003+01:00

In February 2008, Exeter University Library was awarded £34,900 by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of behalf of HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for England), to carry out a survey into User Requirements for Digitised Resources in Islamic Studies.

A team led by Paul Auchterlonie and Ahmed Abu Zayed worked on the project (named DigiIslam) between March and May, using a mixture of questionnaires, focus groups, telephone interviews and bibliometric analysis. The resulting report has now been sent to JISC.

JISC will study this report and will pass on any recommendations to HEFCE, who will be announcing their wider strategy for Islamic Studies in Higher Education later this summer.

The report is available at the DigiIslam Project website.

It is a long document, and worth reading. If you are pressed for time, there is a useful executive summary.

Archaeological metablogging

2008-06-25T15:22:00.003+01:00

Eric Kansa asks some interesting questions at Digging Digitally:

... Would blog links to “raw” archaeological data be useful? How many excavations maintain blogs, and if they do, would back and forth linking between a weblog and a archaeological data resource like Open Context help researchers interpret their observations?

I read "a lot" of excavation blogs, both official and not, in the Mediterranean and Near East / Egypt. Is anyone maintaining a list of these (some of which are annuals and other perennials)?

A New Resource for the Study of Applied Numismatics

2008-06-23T19:34:00.002+01:00

The systematic and comprehensive study of coin finds from recorded material contexts can be (and has been) called by a myriad of names: "Fundnumismatik," "Coins in Context," "Contextual Numismatics," "Numismatic Archaeology/Archaeological Numismatics," "Applied Numismatics," etc. There are a relatively small, but growing, number of specialists in this field and most of them seem to be located in Britain and Germany. An important new resource for those specialists is certain to be the new the Applied Numismatics List. I received an announcement of the list today from a colleague. It has been organized by Kris Lockyear and some other numismatists to help bring various scholars working on related topics into closer contact. According the informal announcement I received, the purpose of the list will be to provide a forum "where we could swap information, reports, data, ask questions regarding databases, statistics and all that sort of thing." I urge anyone who has an active interest in the academic study of coin finds, economy, and other fields that make use of applied numismatics to join and contribute to this resource. Hopefully, it will serve as a important venue for the exchange of information, resources, and serve as a venue to discuss developing methodologies within the field.

New Online Ancient Near East Monograph Series Established

The Society of Biblical Literature, in partnership with the Centro de Estudios de Historia del Antiguo Oriente, Universidad Católica Argentina (CEHAO/UCA), announces the establishment of a new online, open-access monograph series. The focus of the series will be on the ancient Near East, including ancient Israel and its literature, from the early Neolithic to the early Hellenistic eras. Proposals and manuscripts may be submitted in either Spanish or English. Manuscripts are subject to blind peer review by two members of the series’ editorial board before acceptance. Published volumes will be held to the high scholarly standards of SBL and CEHAO/UCA.

A prestigious international group of scholars has agreed to serve on the editorial board:

Co-General Editors:

Ehud Ben Zvi, University of Alberta

Roxana Flammini, Universidad Católica Argentina

Editorial Board:

Marcelo Campagno, Universidad de Buenos Aires, CONICET

Michael Floyd, Centro de Estudios Teologico, Santo Domingo, Dominica Republic

José Galan, Director of the Spanish-Egyptian Mission at Dra Abu el-Naga, Luxor (Egypt)

Erhard Gerstenberger, Philipps Universität-Marburg

Steven Holloway, Saint Xavier University and the American Theological Library Association

Alan Lenzi, University of the Pacific

Santiago Rostom Maderna, Universidad Católica Argentina

Martti Nissinen, University of Helsinki

Juan Manuel Tebes, Universidad Católica Argentina, Universidad de Buenos Aires

The partnership between SBL and CEHAO/UCA was initiated under the auspices of SBL’s International Cooperation Initiative (ICI) and represents the type of international scholarly exchange that is the goal of ICI. Scholars from anywhere in the world are invited to submit proposals, and the online nature of the series will provide global access to the published scholarship.

Questions about the series or proposals for volumes should be directed to Ehud Ben Zvi, Roxana Flammini, or Billie Jean Collins.

Text Encoding Initiative survey of small- to medium-scale digitization projects

2008-06-20T16:56:00.002+01:00

[Seen on a variety of mailing lists]

The Text Encoding Initiative is exploring the feasibility of a benefit of membership in the form of a negotiated vendor discount for producing machine-readable, xml-encoded text in small- to medium-scale digitization projects.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey at the link below in order to provide us with information that would help us negotiate with vendors on the basis of an accurate assessment of the nature and extent of demand for such a benefit.

Sincerely,

Firefox 3.0

2008-06-18T15:59:00.003+01:00

I've been using Firefox 3.0 for a day now and it seems extremely solid. One wants a browser to not get in the way so there may not be too much to say about it: it's very fast and seems to work well with the standards I use to publish archaeological data (svg, xml, atom, various javascript libraries, etc.). I particularly appreciate the much improved native look-and-feel on Mac OS X.

All around, an excellent job by the Mozilla team.

Lexicon of Greek Personal Names and classical web services (seminar London)

2008-06-03T13:33:00.002+01:00

This is to announce the first seminar in this summer's Digital
Classicist/ICS Work in Progress series.

Elaine Matthews and Sebastian Rahtz (Oxford)
'The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names and classical web services'

Time: Friday 6th June at 16:30
Place: room NG16, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU

Brief abstract:
The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names was established 35 years ago to collect and publish all ancient Greek personal names. Thorough maintenance of the IT infrastructure has enabled us to start making new uses of the data and enable inter-project exchange. We will describe the Lexicon data model, its relationship to semantic markup using TEI XML, web services which we can offer, and some of the novel investigations which can now be attempted.

*All are welcome.*

The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments after which everyone is also welcome to join us in entreating the speakers at a local venue.

best regards
Simon

Fictional Archaeology: The Dig

2008-05-30T22:53:00.004+01:00

As the Guardian Hay Festival 2008 draws to a close it is worth drawing attention to John Preston's The Dig (Penguin 2007). This is set on the excavation of Sutton Hoo in the summer of 1939.

Publisher's Synopsis:

In the long hot summer of 1939 Britain is preparing for war. But on a riverside farm in Suffolk there is excitement of another kind: Mrs Petty, the widowed farmer, has had her hunch proved correct that the strange mounds on her land hold buried treasure. As the dig proceeds against a background of mounting national anxiety, it becomes clear though that this is no ordinary find... And pretty soon the discovery leads to all kinds of jealousies and tensions.
John Preston's recreation of the Sutton Hoo dig - the greatest Anglo-Saxon discovery ever in Britain - brilliantly and comically dramatizes three months of intense activity when locals fought outsiders, professionals thwarted amateurs, and love and rivaly flourished in equal measure.
