[First posted in AWL 1 March 2010. Updated 30 January 2015]Horizon: The Amarna Project and Amarna Trust NewsletterThe ancient Egyptian city of Tell el-Amarna (or simply Amarna) was the short-lived capital built by the ‘heretic’ Pharaoh Akhenaten and abandoned shortly after his death (c. 1332 BCE). It was here that he pursued his vision of a society dedicated to the cult of one god, the power of the sun (the Aten). As well as this historic interest Amarna remains the largest readily accessible living-site from ancient Egypt. It is thus simultaneously the key to a chapter in the history of religious experience and to a fuller understanding of what it was like to be an ancient Egyptian. There is no other site like it.

Archaeological Reconnaissance of Uninvestigated Remains of Agriculture (AROURA) is an archaeological geophysics and surface survey of the plain around the 13th century BCE fortress of Glas, Boiotia, central mainland Greece, beginning in October 2010 and lasting until November 2012. It aims to detail the Mycenaean hydraulic, drainage, and land-improvement works around the fortress, and to search for traces of the expected extensive agricultural system they served. AROURA is an official collaboration between the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), and the 9th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities (IX EPCA) of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, based in Thebes, Dr. M.F. Lane (UMBC) and Dr. A. Charami (IX EPCA) co-directors.

From Alan LenziThe editorial leadership of the Ancient Near East Monograph Series / Monografias sobre el Antiguo Cercano Oriente, an open-access, online (with print on demand) monograph series, is transitioning.
Ehud ben Zvi (University of Alberta) and Roxana Flammini (Universidad Católica Argentina) are handing over editorial oversight to Alan Lenzi (University of the Pacific) and Juan Manuel Tebes (Universidad Católica Argentina, Universidad de Buenos Aires).
The focus of the ANEM/MACO series is on the ancient Near East broadly construed from the early Neolithic to the Hellenistic eras. Studies that are heavily philological or archaeological are both suited to this series and can take full advantage of the hypertext capabilities of "born digital" publication. Monographs as well as multiple author and edited volumes are accepted. Proposals and manuscripts may be submitted in either English or Spanish. Manuscript proposals are peer reviewed by at least two scholars in the relevant area before acceptance. Publication of the finished manuscript is contingent on a second round of peer review.
Monographs that are entirely Assyriological, Hittitological, or Egyptological are as appropriate to this series as are monographs in North West Semitics or Biblical Studies.
Given the open-access availability of published monographs (in PDF), publishing your work in this series guarantees its availability to scholars around the world, even to those with minimal economic resources.
Requirements for a proposal are available here.
For published volumes in the series and the full editorial board, see here.
I look forward to hearing from interested scholars.

The Oriental Institute Museum houses a large collection of nearly 900 Demotic ostraca, pottery sherds upon which ancient scribes recorded a wide variety of text types. The vast majority of the corpus concerns economic matters and consists of receipts, contracts, memos, and lists, but there is a small selection of other genres such as votive and astrological texts. With few exceptions, the material derives from the environs of Thebes and over half of the collection derives from the Oriental Institute excavations at Medinet Habu. Attested dates in the documents range from the early Ptolemaic Period (circa 285 B.C.E.) to the early Roman Period (circa 80 C.E.). Less than one third of the corpus has been published:
The O.I.D.O.O database was developed as both a scholarly research tool and a means for the publication of the unpublished Oriental Institute Demotic ostraca. It is our aim to make available all of the Demotic ostraca in this collection, both published and unpublished, to scholars worldwide in a format that will allow for complex searching and sorting criteria as well as quick and easy updating. This will be accomplished through periodic updates as additional texts are edited and entered into the database.

Now Available Online – Plato’s Four Muses: The Phaedrus and the Poetics of PhilosophyPlato’s Four Muses: The Phaedrus and the Poetics of Philosophy, by Andrea Capra
![9780674417229-lg]()
The Center for Hellenic Studies is pleased to announce the online publication of Plato’s Four Muses: The Phaedrus and the Poetics of Philosophy by Andrea Capra on the CHS website.
Plato’s Four Muses reconstructs Plato’s authorial self-portrait through a fresh reading of the Phaedrus, with an Introduction and Conclusion that contextualize the construction more broadly. The Phaedrus, it is argued, is Plato’s most self-referential dialogue, and Plato’s reference to four Muses in Phaedrus 259c–d is read as a hint at the “ingredients” of philosophical discourse, which turns out to be a form of provocatively old-fashioned mousikê.
Andrea Capra maintains that Socrates’s conversion to “demotic”—as opposed to metaphorical—music in the Phaedo closely parallels the Phaedrus and is apologetic in character, since Socrates was held responsible for dismissing traditional mousikê. This parallelism reveals three surprising features that define Plato’s works: first, a measure of anti-intellectualism (Plato counters the rationalistic excesses of other forms of discourse, thus distinguishing it from both prose and poetry); second, a new beginning for philosophy (Plato conceptualizes the birth of Socratic dialogue in, and against, the Pythagorean tradition, with an emphasis on the new role of writing); and finally, a self-consciously ambivalent attitude with respect to the social function of the dialogues, which are conceived both as a kind of “resistance literature” and as a preliminary move toward the new poetry of the Kallipolis.
A printed copy of the book is available through Harvard University Press.
Andrea Capra is Assistant Professor of Greek Language and Literature at the University of Milan.

[First posted in AWOL 14 March 2011, updated 2 February 2015]Bollettino di Archeologia On LineISSN 2039-0076
![http://www.bollettinodiarcheologiaonline.beniculturali.it/images/mibact.png]()
Editoriale
Quasi un secolo è passato dall’emanazione del R.D. 30 gennaio 1913, n. 363 (Regolamento di esecuzione delle leggi 20 giugno 1909, n. 364, e 23 giugno 1912, n. 688, per le antichità e le belle arti), ma ne resta, tra altri, tuttora in vigore l’art. 83 che assegnava alla responsabilità del Soprintendente l’invio al Ministero, ai fini della pubblicazione, di una relazione sui risultati scientifici ottenuti negli scavi più importanti. La sede allora prevista per la pubblicazione erano le ”Notizie degli scavi e scoperte d'antichità” dell’Accademia dei Lincei, cui si sono opportunamente affiancate nel corso di questo secolo numerose altre sedi di pubblicazione. Nonostante tale moltiplicazione di testate, il problema della edizione degli scavi archeologici è tuttavia restato un problema fondamentale e, duole dirlo, largamente irrisolto; ciò anche per l’enorme dilatarsi, naturalmente ben venuto sotto il profilo culturale, della materia oggetto della ricerca scientifica, al quale però non ha corrisposto un’adeguata estensione dei mezzi per le pubblicazioni.
Da alcuni anni la tecnologia informatica è venuta in aiuto mettendo a disposizione strumenti molto potenti per dar soluzione – o almeno avviare a soluzione - a questo problema. Non è naturalmente questa la sede per illustrare i vantaggi che il nostro Ministero può ricavare dall’utilizzazione dell’editoria elettronica nel settore archeologico, ma vale la pena ricordarli almeno sommariamente: mettere a disposizione delle Soprintendenze un efficace strumento per gestire, anche con metodologie e criteri innovativi, la pubblicazione di grandi quantità di dati in tempi utili al progredire della ricerca e alla comunicazione di informazioni su temi di interesse generale (ad esempio nel campo dell’archeologia preventiva); offrire al personale tecnico-scientifico del Ministero e ai loro collaboratori esterni la possibilità di pubblicare (mantenendo la proprietà intellettuale delle opere prodotte) con costi ridotti la propria produzione scientifica di qualità garantita, in un circuito che ne permette la diffusione accanto o in alternativa all’editoria commerciale; offrire un servizio all’utenza contribuendo all’attività di valorizzazione del patrimonio; accrescere l’impatto della produzione scientifica entrando a far parte del circuito globale delle “digital libraries”; diffondere l’immagine del Ministero anche attraverso un proprio marchio editoriale.
A circa vent’anni dalla nascita del “Bollettino di Archeologia” ad opera di Paola Pelagatti e Adriano La Regina e a quasi un decennio della nascita di una Direzione Generale per i Beni Archeologici, la Direzione per le Antichità ha voluto perciò istituire, anche avvalendosi dell’importante esperienza maturata in collaborazioni come quella con “Fold&R” e “Fastionline”, una rivista telematica che costituisca un punto di riferimento ed un luogo di discussione per tutti gli studiosi, funzionari, collaboratori, docenti e ricercatori che operano a vario titolo nel settore archeologico. L’obiettivo è che essa diventi oltre che luogo di pubblicazione di scavi e ricerche, anche sede di incontro di problematiche specifiche e luogo di confronto per realtà diverse, occasione per offrire un ampio panorama delle attività di ricerca, di tutela e di promozione della conoscenza del ricco patrimonio archeologico italiano, strumento per informare e confrontarsi su tematiche attuali, su questioni di metodo, su prospettive innovative e sulla molteplicità di iniziative di comune interesse per quanti operano nel settore. Naturalmente l’interesse dell’uso dell’informatica sta anche nella possibilità di rinnovare i modi stessi della comunicazione archeologica, e crediamo che la disponibilità di uno strumento, peraltro a utilizzazione gratuita, come questo, faciliterà la sperimentazione di nuovi modi di divulgazione, ma anche riflessioni sul senso del nostro lavoro nel contesto attuale, anche nel confronto con quanto si fa in altri settori e altri paesi.
Se nel tempo molte Soprintendenze Archeologiche hanno meritoriamente attivato proprie collane editoriali, destinate a sensibilizzare soprattutto un pubblico locale, la nuova testata potrà costituire occasione anche per dare risalto a livello nazionale ed internazionale alle attività editoriali ed alle pubblicazioni di ciascun Ufficio, anche attraverso presentazioni, anticipazioni o recensioni.
Al tempo stesso è auspicabile che l’iniziativa possa invogliare la partecipazione dei colleghi di altri Paesi, europei e non, con problematiche simili o punti di vista differenti, per confermare la validità e la vitalità di un dibattito aperto nella comunità scientifica degli archeologi e degli amministratori del patrimonio di antichità, indipendentemente dai confini circoscritti di ciascuna nazione.
Non a caso, in apertura della Rivista e in alcuni dei primi fascicoli saranno pubblicati gli atti del XVII International Congress of Classical Archaeology - Meetings between Cultures in theancient Mediterranean, svoltosi a Roma dal 22 al 26 settembre 2008, raccolti e curati per la pubblicazione dall’Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica con la quale questo Ministero ha da tempo istituito la proficua collaborazione sopra ricordata per Fasti online e Fold&R. Il numero 0 della nuova rivista scientifica è solo una ridotta presentazione della più vasta rassegna che sarà messa in rete nei prossimi mesi con la pubblicazione delle diverse sessioni del Congresso, contestualmente alla presentazione dei contributi scientifici e agli spunti di discussione che auspichiamo possano pervenire numerosi per arricchire il panorama che ci si prefigge di presentare.
Nel frattempo ci attendiamo dai colleghi proposte, suggerimenti, articoli, contributi per dar corpo e linfa vitale alla nuova rivista, che, come indica la partecipazione al Comitato Scientifico di tutti i Soprintendenti italiani, intende essere più che la Rivista della Direzione per le Antichità, la rivista di tutti gli archeologi dell’Amministrazione. La pubblicazione dei dati degli scavi e delle ricerche archeologiche, resta infatti, insieme alla tutela e alla conservazione del patrimonio, il fine ultimo del lavoro degli archeologi che operano nel Ministero, oltre che un loro preciso dovere culturale e sociale, in quanto non si tratta solo di mettere sempre nuovi e più precisi segmenti nell’inesauribile disegno della ricerca scientifica, ma anche di far partecipe nei diversi modi della comunicazione l’intera comunità, che sostiene i costi di queste ricerche, dei valori della storia: ovvero dare sempre più compiuta attuazione al dettato dell’articolo 9 della nostra Costituzione.
Buon lavoro.

Kom Firin![http://www.britishmuseum.org/images/komfirinmap_325.gif]()
Kom Firin is an extensive archaeological mound located near the western edge of the Nile Delta in Egypt, an area where little fieldwork has been undertaken. This area has never been the subject of intensive archaeological investigation before and the project has used a combination of geophysical survey and excavation to research aspects of the site’s history.
The earliest remains date to the Ramesside Period (thirteenth-eleventh century BC), when a small mudbrick and limestone temple was built and decorated in the reign of Ramses II. Nearly entirely destroyed, parts of an inscription of Ramses II from a doorway in the temple describe him as a valiant ruler, who ‘gives commands at the head of his troops’.
The temple was set inside an impressive mudbrick enclosure in an area of 44,000m², outlined by walls over five metres thick and entered through a narrow gateway flanked with towers. It seems possible this complex was built in response to the growing threat from Libyan groups to the West.
Kom Firin flourished for nearly two thousand years after this time with at least two major temple enclosures constructed in the latter part of the first millennium BC, although the buildings within are long since destroyed. Fragments from pottery containers and tableware from as far afield as the Greek mainland, Rhodes, Clazomenae and Cyprus attest to the cosmopolitan world of the Nile Delta during this era.
Objectives:
The project aims to investigate, through excavation and non-destructive survey, the site of Kom Firin, a fifty-five hectare settlement mound at the western edge of the Nile Delta. The principal objectives are:
- To obtain evidence for the nature of urban settlement in the Western Delta, a largely unexplored area despite its strategic importance in the Ramesside period, c.1300−1070 BCE (attempted invasion and immigration by Libyan groups) and in the ensuing rise of the Great Kingdom of the West, a precursor to the 26th dynasty (672-525 BCE).
- To seek material to help assess whether proximity to the Greek trading emporium of Naukratis led to an increased exposure to imported goods in comparison to contemporary sites further south.
- To disseminate information through academic publications, but also provide resources (video, images, text) on the ancient site, and the modern village, for use in cross-curricular teaching initiatives.

Monspaet-Datenbank des Instituts für Ägyptologie und Koptologie der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität MünsterUntersuchung der (Tempel-) Bautätigkeit von legitimen Königen versus der von Usurpatoren anhand von Bauinschriften und erhaltenen Baudenkmälern (Ehemaliger Sonderforschungsbereich 493: Funktionen von Religion in antiken Gesellschaften des Vorderen Orients, Projekt C2/5)
Die Datenbank enthält Material zur Bautätigkeit der Könige der Spätzeit, und, aber nur „en passant“ mitgenommen, auch weiteres Material, einige Privatdenkmäler und funeräre Objekte von Königen. Abweichend vom Gebrauch in der Literaturdatenbank wurden hier Leerstellen in Suchbegriffen nicht durch „_“ gefüllt. Das Material kann auf drei verschiedene Weisen abgerufen werden.
- Normale Suche über Suchmaske wie oben angedeutet.
- Suche über zwei verschiedene (grobe selbstgestrickte) Karten von Ägypten (Delta / Oberägypten und Nubien). Klickt man einen Ortsnamen an, werden alle dort für das Thema relevanten Datensätze aufgerufen.
- Suche nach Dynastien und Königen sowie Objekten aus dem Ausland. Es gibt Listen von Dynastien und deren Königen mit Untergliederung nach Ortsnamen. Königsnamen, die unter einem bestimmten Ortsnamen rot erscheinen, können aufgerufen werden, worauf die von diesem dort aufgefundenen Objekte zum Thema angezeigt werden.
Das Projekt hatte die Sammlung bzw. Aufarbeitung des relevanten (archäologischen) Materials in einer Datenbank zur Voraussetzung. Die bisher publizierten Listen von Denkmälern der Könige der Spätzeit sind (mit Ausnahme einer Liste von H. Jenni für Nektanebos (II.) von 1998) entweder veraltet (Kienitz für das 4. Jhdt.v.Chr. (28.-30. Dyn.) von 1953, Traunecker für die 29. Dyn. von 1979, Posener für die 27. Dyn. von 1936) bzw. eine Liste für die 26. Dyn. existiert gar nicht). Über die Tempel allein gibt es die neue Monographie von D. Arnold, The Tempels Of The Last Pharaohs, New York - Oxford 1999 (das Buch geht im betrachteten Zeitraum über den hier behandelten hinaus, insoweit es sowohl die 25. Dyn. als auch die ptolemäisch-römische Zeit umfasst). Allerdings liegt hier das Schwergewicht auf architektonischen Rekonstruktionen; Königen werden Bauten oft nur zugeschrieben ohne Diskussion der Belege.

NoDictionariesNoDictionaries is a new way to read dozens of Latin authors and any other Latin you type in
A bit further detail
I’ve just graduated from grad school, and this was my Master’s project. It helped me read much faster, and it also helped me have more fun reading, and less time flipping through a dictionary. Enjoy! Please let me know what you think.
Much thanks to those who have shaped the development including Prof Susan Setnik, Prof Gregory Crane, Prof Betsey Halpern, Prof Steven Hirsch, and all of the undergrad and grad student usability testers, including the Fall 2008 Latin 3 class, especially Kevin Hillburn, EJ Testa, Emeka Nwabuzor, Ryan Zuckman, and Cori Russo, Alan Mui, Dan Zhen, Kwaku Osei-Tutu, and Ian Drummond, Molly Gayton, Leonora Mahler, Zachary Fenno, and many more. A further deep debt of gratitude to William Whitaker, for his Words, and to The Latin Library. Icons of monitor, projector, and printer copyright the Oxygen Project, licensed under the GPL.
