This project was funded through the "Rebuild the Capabilities of Iraq's Museum, Heritage and Archaeology Organizations Project" funded by the Iraq Cultural Heritage Project with and the International Relief and Development and the implementing NGO.
There are a couple of tweaks still needed. We will add instructions for use in Arabic and English, and one more book needs to be uploaded.

AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009. The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available. The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
CAMNES together with the University of Florence are organizing the 16th SOMA - Symposium on Mediterranean Archaeology from the 1st to the 3rd of March 2012 in Florence (Italy)
"IDENTITY & CONNECTIVITY"
The 16th SOMA is under the patronage of the City of Florence, the Italian Minister of Cultural Heritage, the Mediterranean Observatory and GAMA This is the official web site:
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline. AWOL is syndicated to Facebook and Twitter.

These newsletters document the progress of the revitalisation projects of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), which began the rehabilitation of Bagh-e-Babur, a walled and terraced garden containing the tomb of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, in 2002. The programme has expanded to include the 19th-century mausoleum in central Kabul over the grave of Timur Shah and a great number of homes, mosques and other structures in the war-damaged quarters of Asheqan wa Arefan, Chindawol and Kuche Kharabat. In Herat, in western Afghanistan, a range of documentation, conservation and upgrading works has also been carried out since 2005 in surviving historic sections of the old city.

The deep impression of Iran upon all aspects of early mediaeval Armenia has long been recognized. Although linguists may have taken the lead in tracing this influence, scholars in all disciplines, particularly historians and theologians, have unearthed multiple parallels and connections between the two cultures. The penetrating studies by Garsoïan and Russell over the past four decades have proved to be particularly influential, to the extent that no scholar today would seriously contemplate studying early mediaeval Armenia without acknowledging its Iranian heritage.1 Indeed such is the degree of unanimity over the level of Iranian influence upon all aspects of Armenian society and culture that the contention has begun to operate in the opposite direction. Armenian sources have been exploited to shed light upon Iranian, and specifically Sasanian, history. ... READ MORE AN EXCEPTIONAL GOL D COIN OF SHAPUR I Author: Armine Zohrabyan, History Museum of Armenia
Recently we have had a chance to see a unique gold coin of Shapur I. Unfortunately the location of this coin today is unknown to us. At first sight, the coin looks like the usual issues of Shapur I (particularly the iconography in obverse), but exploration of some details in reverse give us cause to suppose that it was minted for a certain occasion. Shapur I continued the regional policy of his predecessor, Artashir I, from the beginning of his reign. A series of victories against the Roman Empire opened the way to conquer Armenia, which was the main success of Sasanian Iran in the

Later discoveries of numismatic and sigillographic finds, as well as publications on and editions of literary and material evidence, relevant to the historical geography and administrative organization of the Sasanian Empire did not change things dramatically, but did help to complete and in some cases correct early impressions.

The reign of Kavad the first is probably the most interesting in Sasanian history. The chaos caused by Mazdakism during his reign lead to a restored, strong, monarchy under his son and successor. Kavad I had two reigns, 488 to 496 and 499 to 531 AD. He succeeded Valkash (484-488) but was soon deposed by his brother Zamasp (496-499). Three years in exile Kavad recovered his throne and was eventually succeeded by his son, one of the most remarkable Sasanian kings, Khusro I (531-579). Kavad had numerous coin types. The one that interests us here is his first type. It was used during his first reign, showing no date, and was then used during the first two years of his second reign, being known for years 11 and 12. A new type was introduced in year 13. ...

Sasanian bullae are important objects in understanding the economic and administrative history Ērānšahr. The bulla which is a seal impression onto clay was used as a signatory device for commodities and letters. Until now a large number of collections from both museums and private collectors have been published, and with each publication our knowledge of economic, social and administrative history of Ērānšahr deepens. The collection under study here provide further evidence to different localities, some known and others of unknown provenance. However, these collections provide a microcosm of economic history of several provinces of the Iranian Plateau. By studying these collections one is able to gather detailed information on the administrative function of the specific Zoroastrian priests, religious endowments, accountants and other personalities who were traders and businessmen. ...

These have been found, since 1990, in various markets in northern Pakistan and have found their way into the collections of antique dealers in Europe.

The Caucasus is a land of diverse population and beliefs. Today, Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Yazidis live in cities and villages in the valleys and gorges of the region. One religion that had a strong impact on ancient Armenia, Georgia, and the Republic of Azerbijan was Zoroastrianism. While the sources and views of Zoroastrianism are mainly from its homeland, Iran, Zoroastrianism also flourished in the Caucasus in conjunction with the local, native religions of the region. Kartveli or Georgia was converted to Christianity in the fourth century CE. The traditional date given for this momentous event in the history of Georgia is 337 CE. According to Christian sources, King Mirian (Mihran) converted from “paganism,” but a closer look at the sources suggests that the king and the people of ancient Georgia were worshipers of Ohrmazd (Ahura Mazda). ...

It is managed by the Central Cultural Fund and sponsored by the Netherlands Cultural Fund for specific projects. Following the early research and explorations connected with the Galle Harbour Project of 1992, the Central Cultural Fund (CCF) and the Department of Archaeology took the initiative to make maritime archaeologists and conservators out of the archaeology graduates from the relevant institutes and the universities. Our main intention is to develop the maritime archaeological field in Sri Lanka in order to protect our valuable underwater cultural heritage. Sri Lanka is situated at a

location where all shipping routes in the Indian Ocean meet. It has a very long coastline for an island which is so small. We also have a long recorded history during which we came into contact with all other seafaring people of the most countries who came here, mostly for trade. They referred to our country in glowing terms. They also made records of Sri Lankan visitors to foreign countries such as Rome and China.

New from the Griffith Institute Norman and Nina de Garis Davies Theban Tomb Tracings Project* The Griffith Institute has now completed the project to identify and digitize over 1000 tracings made by Norman and Nina de Garis Davis in Theban tombs in the early twentieth century. These tracings were too fragile for consultation and therefore unavailable up until 10 years ago when the whole collection was rehoused and a systematic digitization programme initiated. This important resource is now available for consultation on the Griffith Institute website High resolution scans of all of the tracings are available, for further information please email:
[email protected] We would like to thank everyone involved with this project, especially Ms Jenni Navratil and Dr Hana Navratilova for the long hours spent photographing the original tracings and subsequent digital editing, and Dr Jaromir Malek for his direction and patience. Over 1000 tracings by Norman and Nina de Garis Davies of scenes in Theban tombs are now available on the Griffith Institute's website Consult the catalogue and tracings

Excluded are mummy labels and related texts, various wooden objects carrying inscriptions, carved rather than inked texts, and Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew boards. It has an appendix on wooden tablets from the West (which we are currently integrating into Trismegistos as well). The order is alphabetical according to the modern toponyms of the collections in which the tabulae are preserved.
This is the second instalment in the TOP-series from someone who is not working directly for Trismegistos or one of its satellite projects (although Klaas Worp is one of the most active 'outsiders' sending us his most welcome corrections on a regular basis). Trismegistos Online Publications remains available to all as a peer-reviewed series aiming to provide freely downloadable pdf-documents with scholarly tools based upon or providing links to the Trismegistos database.

Cairo Genizah Collection of the Bodleian libraries Genizah: Cairo Genizah Collection of the Bodleian libraries The collection of Cairo Genizah fragments held at the Bodleian Libraries is one of major collections of its kind. Acquired over the years since 1890 it consists of about 4,000 fragments. Skilful selection ensured that the Bodleian Genizah holdings became one of the most important collections worldwide, featuring Bible, Early Rabbinic literature (Midrash, Mishnah and Talmud), numerous liturgical fragments (Piyyutim and Selichot), many legal documents and letters, both personal and commercial. Its significance lies particularly in the remarkable size of many of the documents. The 4000 fragments comprise about 25,000 pages, amounting to over six pages per fragment, an average unparalleled elsewhere. Some items consist of whole quires, thus deserving the designation manuscripts rather than fragments. Talmud fragments of ten pages or more are no exception in this collection: Tractate Berakhot is represented with a manuscript of 32 pages (Ms. Heb. c. 17/32); of tractate Sukkah 72 pages (Ms. Heb. e 51) are preserved and for tractate Sotah we have 160 pages (Ms. Heb. d. 20/2) at our disposal. An exceptionally exciting example are the twenty pages of Maimonides’s draft manuscript of his Mishneh Torah with corrections in 4 consecutive stages in his own hand (Ms. Heb. d 32, fols.47a-56b). The online catalogue is based upon the printed catalogue of the Hebrew manuscripts in the Bodleian Library (second volume) by Adolf Neubauer and Arthur Ernst Cowley (1906) and the typewritten catalogue of additional Genizah fragments by Arthur Ernst Cowley (ca 1929). The classification of the fragments by subject in the printed catalogue in line with the first volume of Neubauer’s catalogue of Hebrew manuscripts at the Bodleian library is - as mentioned in the introduction by Arthur Cowley - problematic. Fragments from the Cairo Genizah were collected by the Bodleian Library in successive acquisitions, which after arrival were bound up in volumes. As a consequence volumes often, despite a careful and focussed acquisition policy, contain under one heading fragments on different subjects. In the online catalogue all fragments of a volume can be searched by subject. The printed catalogue includes 166 volumes, containing in all about 2,675 fragments. The typewritten catalogue consists of 58 volumes with 1094 fragments. It is to be noticed, however, that the total number of 3769 fragments concerns those of which the Cairo Genizah provenance explicitly is stated. The digital access to the Bodleian Genizah collection will facilitate the identification of a considerable number of fragments, whose provenance were hitherto unknown, but which probably also found their way from Cairo to Oxford.

Open Journal Systems Enhancement Many of the Open Access Journals in Ancient Studies are served from the Open Journal Systems platform. The SURFfoundation, has just announced the development of two plug-ins permitting the enhancement OJS publications with related research data:
Enhanced Publications now possible with Open Journal Systems Research results published within tried-and-tested system using plug-ins 21-02-2012
The Internet makes it possible to present publications in combination with related research data, as Enhanced Publications. The Enhanced Journals…Made Easy project (EJME), which is funded by SURF, has designed a practical work process for publishers of Open Access journals so as to enhance academic journals with the associated data files. The project involved the development of two plug-ins for Open Journal Systems, a system for managing and publishing journals. Open Journal Systems (OJS) is the most frequently used open source package worldwide for academic journals. Open Journal Systems OJS is used internationally to promote and increase access to research results. It is used for more than 10,000 journals. The plug-ins developed during the EJME project add capabilities to OJS. The University of Amsterdam, Utrecht University, DANS (Data Archiving and Network Services), and Amsterdam University Press have made use of a tried-and-tested system for creating enhanced publications so as to stick as close as possible to the publication process used by researchers. Publication process Authors and editors who use OJS can now easily add data files to articles, including the associated metadata. The data files are then available – without any extra action being necessary – for everyone involved in the editorial process, including peer reviewers. When the article is published, there are references to the datasets, both on the webpage and in a machine-readable file. It is also important that the editorial team can make it possible for the data to be automatically submitted to a reliable data repository when the article is published. According to Jeroen Sondervan (Amsterdam University Press), “This integration of research data and results on the one hand and publications on the other creates a completely new way of assessing, verifying, and publishing. The combination of OJS and the EJME plug-ins brings this a step closer.” Practical testing The EJME plug-ins link up with the work process followed by the editors of Open Journals: from the researcher’s intention to publish to the Open Access publication of the article. The plug-ins that have been developed have been tested in practice by two journals published by two different publishers: • Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries (JALC), published by Amsterdam University Press (AUP) • International Journal of the Commons (IJC), published by UBU/Igitur Publishing. Public Knowledge Project Staff of the international OJS are enthusiastic about the EJME plug-ins and have included them in their plug-in library. “We are very happy with what EJME has done. The plug-ins are extremely useful and robust, and the documentation is clear and well written," says Kevin Stranack of Public Knowledge Project (PKP), the organisation that manages and develops the OJS. PKP is negotiating with Utrecht University regarding collaboration to improve the functionality for depositing research data via OJS.

Open Access Journal: Kerdomnel Khmer Magazine Kerdomnel Khmer Magazine
KERDOMNEL KHMER (Khmer Heritage) is the first magazine in the Kingdom of Cambodia which focuses on arts, archaeology, history, epigraphy, ethnology, sociology,painting, cultural tourism, and so on. The magazine, of which a trial issue has now been published, will also provide information to readers on exhibitions, meetings, workshops, and publications on the arts and archaeology in Southeast Asia and countries around the world. The people involved in founding and researching for KERDOMNEL KHMER Magazine are local and international professors and students, both within and outside the country, who are conducting projects on archaeology, architecture, history, sociology, cultural tourism, and publishing. The magazine will be used to spread information and share news to readers, especially the younger generation and persons in regional areas. It is intended to educate people in the importance of cultural legacy and national heritage in order to promote conservation and protection. To facilitate understanding by a wide range of readers, the published articles will be simply written and will try to avoid unnecessary technical terms. All data and information related to our project will be hosted at www.kerdomnel-khmer.org. While the magazine has its own researchers to call on, we will also welcome any articles related to Khmer culture and civilization by researchers who wish to publish in our magazine, and we will also welcome any feedback from our reader through a “Letters to the Editor” section.

Database: Bibliographie internationale d'histoire du droit canonique Gregorius: Bibliographie internationale d'histoire du droit canonique
« Gregorius » est une base de données présentant une bibliographie internationale d'histoire du droit canonique, établie par l'équipe du Centre Droit et Sociétés Religieuses de la Faculté de droit de l'Université de Paris-Sud. Les auteurs : Le projet, conçu et engagé par le Professeur Franck Roumy et par Charles de Miramon (CNRS), est aujourd'hui dirigé par le Professeur François Jankowiak et administré conjointement avec le Professeur Brigitte Basdevant-Gaudemet, directrice du Centre Droit et Sociétés Religieuses. Parmi les nombreux collaborateurs, ont participé de manière particulièrement active : Jean-Paul Andrieux, Stéphane Boiron, Maria Caria, Olivier Descamps, Dalida Jankowiak-Latour, Mélanie Lopez, Jean-Marie Signié et Clarisse Siméant. Le travail : La base s'adresse en premier lieu aux chercheurs en histoire du droit canonique, histoire des institutions ecclésiastiques, histoire du droit. Elle couvre la période s'étendant des origines du christianisme au milieu du XXe siècle. Juridique, elle ne contient de références relatives à l'histoire religieuse que dans la mesure où il s'agit d'un travail fondamental pour l'historien du droit et des institutions. Les dépouillements : À ce jour, aucun dépouillement n’a pu être réalisé de façon exhaustive. Les auteurs ont, dans un premier temps, privilégié les références souvent peu connues, moins aisément repérables, et les plus récentes (essentiellement sur la période 1997-2008). Cette option concerne notamment les articles publiés dans les périodiques vivants et les ouvrages collectifs (actes de colloques, mélanges, recueils d’articles). Les saisies seront complétées rétrospectivement ; s’y ajouteront les monographies et les travaux n’ayant pas fait l’objet de publication, thèses et mémoires pour l’essentiel (« littérature grise »). Mode d’emploi : Pour interroger la base, cliquez sur la rubrique « recherche » et laissez-vous guider. Vous pouvez également consulter le thésaurus des mots-clés (rubrique « thésaurus », sousrubrique « indexation ») pour affiner vos requêtes. En outre, le point d’interrogation vous permet d’accéder à tout moment à une aide en ligne détaillée.

Database: Cruches gallo-romaines Cruches gallo-romaines Cette base présente une synthèse régionale sur les cruches en céramique commune ; les récipients en sigillée ou en bronze ont uniquement été utilisés comme éléments de comparaison. Rappelons que les cruches en céramique commune sont toujours cuites en mode oxydant et ont pour fonction le stockage ou le conditionnement des liquides. La collecte de la documentation, souvent inédite ou méconnue, a été réalisée en fonction de la zone d'activité de chaque chercheur (2). Nos investigations couvrent une aire géographique allant de la ville de Sierentz, située dans le sud du Haut-Rhin, à celle de Bliesbruck, installée entre les cours de la Sarre et de la Blies, en Moselle. Cette zone se situe au carrefour de trois territoires antiques : ceux des Rauraques, des Triboques et des Médiomatriques. Le regroupement des données a abouti à un recensement de plus d'un millier d'objets, révélant la diversité et la complexité des caractéristiques morphologiques de cette forme de récipient. Plutôt que d'envisager une synthèse présentant quelques grands types et de ne sélectionner que des individus complets et/ou représentatifs, il nous a semblé plus intéressant de concevoir ce travail sous la forme d'un corpus présentant le plus grand nombre d'individus possibles. De cette volonté est née l'idée de créer une base de données, accessible en ligne, permettant aux chercheurs d'accéder rapidement à l'ensemble des individus. Outre la possibilité de regrouper une grande quantité de données, ce système offre l'avantage de pouvoir être interrogé. Notre base a donc été construite de manière à pouvoir effectuer des recherches ciblées et permettre ainsi aux archéologues de faire rapidement des identifications ou des comparaisons. Pour réaliser un tel travail, une réflexion commune a été engagée sur les procédés visant à sérier les individus, ainsi que sur la mise en place d'une méthode pour enregistrer uniformément les données, à l'aide d'une fiche-type. La définition d'un vocabulaire, adapté à l'ensemble de cette masse documentaire et utilisé rigoureusement sur le corpus, était également incontournable. Cet outil de référence s'accompagne d'une bibliographie régionale des publications récentes, toutes catégories céramiques confondues.
Les cruches de même type ayant été regroupées ; le corpus comptabilise un total de 212 fiches-types (3) et l'informatisation permettra de l'enrichir aisément par de nouvelles découvertes. P O S TE D B Y CHA RL E S J O NE S A T 1 1 : 3 3 A M 0 CO MME NTS L I NK S TO THI S P O S T
Database: Epiclèses de divinités grecques et romaines Epiclèses de divinités grecques et romaines
Ce programme consiste à étudier les manières dont sont désignés les dieux de l’Antiquité gréco-romaine: noms, qualificatifs, épithètes, épiclèses. L’intérêt de ce thème tient au fait que, dans les mentalités antiques, le nom a une valeur en soi : nommer les dieux est un moyen de connaître ceux-ci et d’entrer en contact avec eux, éventuellement d’agir sur eux. Le programme Nommer les dieux, par essence interdisciplinaire, est piloté dans le cadre de la MISHA par le Centre d’Analyse des Rhétoriques Religieuses de l’Antiquité (CARRA), Equipe d’Accueil de l’UMB (n° 3094). Cette équipe, dirigée par Gérard Freyburger, professeur de latin, et Laurent Pernot, professeur de grec, se situe à l’intersection de deux domaines d’études : la rhétorique d’une part, la religion d’autre part. Elle s’attache tout particulièrement à l’examen du langage dans ses rapports avec le divin et le sacré, des formes d’expression adressées aux dieux, des différentes manières de dire la conscience et le sentiment religieux. Elle entend fournir des instruments et ouvrir des voies nouvelles pour une meilleure compréhension de la rhétorique et de la religion en s’appuyant principalement sur l’étude des textes grecs et latins. Le présent programme a donné lieu à un colloque intitulé Nommer les dieux : désignation onomastique et définition théologique dans les religions de l’Antiquité, 26 – 27 octobre 2001 (parution imminente aux Editions Brepols) à Strasbourg et à un autre colloque intitulé L’hymne antique et son public, 18 – 20 octobre 2004 (édition en cours), également à Strasbourg. Le programme Nommer les dieux, fruit d’un travail collectif, comporte un relevé et une analyse d’ « épiclèses », entendues au sens de « épithètes », « qualificatifs » des dieux. Les fiches mises sur le réseau de la MISHA présentent un grand nombre de ces épiclèses tirées de divers corpus littéraires grecs et latins : elles en donnent à chaque fois le texte et le contexte, la traduction, la référence précise ; elles indiquent leur lien éventuel avec la prière, les variantes textuelles s’il y a lieu, l’aire linguistique, la date, la localisation, la nature grammaticale et la fonction religieuse. L’objectif de la mise sur réseau de ces données est d’en permettre une large diffusion et une analyse aisée. Les directeurs du programme sont prêts à dialoguer avec les utilisateurs s’ils le souhaitent. Ils peuvent être contactés à l’adresse de courriel suivante :

Bibliographies: DRoits ANTiques DRoits ANTiques
Le Centre de documentation des droits antiques (CDDA) a été fondé au sein de l’ancienne Faculté de droit de Paris en 1960. Depuis 1973, il a en plus bénéficié du soutien du Centre national de la Recherche scientifique (CNRS). Il est aujourd’hui géré conjointement par le département de Droit romain et d’Histoire du droit de l’université Panthéon-Assas (une des composantes de Sorbonne-Universités) et par l’institut d’Histoire du droit (CNRS, UMR 7184). Le CDDA gère une base de données, appelée DRANT (DRoits ANTiques), spécialisée dans les institutions juridiques, politiques, économiques et sociales du monde méditerranéen ancien : son domaine couvre la Grèce et Rome au premier chef, mais s’étend aussi à la Perse, au Proche-Orient et à l’Égypte antiques. Le CDDA s’efforce de dépouiller toute la littérature spécialisée : les ouvrages, les articles de quelque 400 revues françaises et étrangères, les articles des mélanges, les actes des colloques et congrès, les compte-rendus critiques etc. Il analyse environ 4 000 articles et ouvrages par an, mais n’en retient que 2 000 à peu près pour la base de données. À ce jour (2011), la base DRANT est riche de 60 000 références. La base a été informatisée dès 1975. Aujourd’hui, le soutien informatique du CDDA est assuré par la Maison interuniversitaire des Sciences de l’homme - Alsace (Université de Strasbourg / CNRS). The Center for the Documentation of Ancient Law (CDDA) was establishedby the Law Faculty of Paris in 1960. Today it is supported jointly by the University of Paris-II (Panthéon-Assas) and by the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). The CDDA compiles a subject bibliography database called DRANT (DRoits ANTiques "Ancient Law") which specializes in the legal, political, economic and social institutions of the ancient Mediterranean world. The DRANT database covers not only the institutions of Ancient Greece and Rome, but also Persia, the Near East and Egypt. While the focus of the database is legal institutions, the listings include numerous references to other topics which are bound to be of interest to a legal historian: papyrology, epigraphy, numismatics, archeology, the history of religions, etc. The references in the database are compiled by surveying all the specialist literature: books, articles in some 420 French and foreign journals, articles in anthologies, conference proceedings, critical reviews, etc. The CDDA analyses approximately 4000 articles and books per year, and includes on average 2000 for the database. To date, the database contains over 56,000 references. P O S TE D B Y CHA RL E S J O NE S A T 1 1 : 1 7 A M 0 CO MME NTS L I NK S TO THI S P O S T LABELS: LAW
Historical Photographs of the Land of Israel Historical Photographs of the Land of Israel The Land of Israel has always attracted professional and amateur photographers. Over the years, archives, institutions and individuals have kept rare collections, documenting its unique views and people. The university's library operates for the digital conservation and documentation of these contents, in order to keep them from wearing out and to provide accessibility for education and research purposes. In the website are photographs from various sources that were donated to the library's Digital Media Center. The digital collection is part of the work done by the library of Haifa University. Its purpose is to expose and provide accessibility to historical photographs of the Land of Israel. The project started as cooperation with the department of Land of Israel Studies in Haifa University and Bitmuna project. The library staff scans and catalogues the photographs. Identification of documented locations, people and events is done with the help of collection owners, information received from users, and the kind help of Mr. Roni Kenisberg. The website allows access to the library's photographs collections according to theme, chronology or geography. It also allows access to the Digital Media Center's search options, where you can search freely for various materials. All the photographs in the Historical Photographs of the Land of Israel website are available to the public, under fair use and copyright limitations. We would be glad to have your response, as well as more information and identifications of photographs, to:
