Apolline Project: illuminating the dark side of Vesuvius
Welcome to the official website of the Apolline Project, a multi-disciplinary research project investigating the northern ‘dark’ side of Vesuvius– the ancient territories of Nola and Neapolis. Fields of study include archaeology, volcanology and paleobotany. Here you will find information about our work, especially the excavation of a post-79 AD Roman villa and baths at Pollena Trocchia near Naples. For those seeking more detailed information, links are provided to our reports and publications. An overview of the achievements and scope of the project can be found along with news about all the latest developments. In 2011 the project was awarded the European Archaeological Heritage Prize, to see why please follow the link. We are able to offer places on our excavations to volunteers and students seeking to develop their archaeological skills; more details can be found here. This site is continually being improved and updated and we thanks visitors for their patience and feedback as it continues to develop. Suggestions, comments and queries can be submitted at our ‘contact us’ page.  

Benvenuto nel sito web ufficiale dell'Apolline Project, il progetto di ricerca multidisciplinare sul "lato oscuro" del Vesuvio, ossia il versante settentrionale del vulcano, e più in generale sugli antichi territori di Neapolis e Nola. Ti consigliamo di cominciare la navigazione nella sezione Vesuviani, ed in particolare le pagine sul nostro progetto-bandiera, lo scavo integrale delle terme romane di Pollena Trocchia, e sugli altri siti che stiamo investigando, come le "terme azzurre" di Lauro e la chiesa altomedievale di Roccarainola. I giovani esploratori possono scaricare giochini e vedere video. Incoraggiamo vivamente i docenti delle scuole primare e secondarie a mettersi in contatto con noi per organizzare progetti didattici e visite guidate ai siti archeologici dove operiamo. Se sei un archeologo, ti consigliamo di esplorare la sezione Academics, dove si possono anche consultare gli articoli che abbiamo prodotto finora. Se vuoi prendere parte alle nostre attività di scavo e ricerca, segui questo link. Se vuoi metterti in contatto con noi per saperne di più su quello che stiamo facendo o se vuoi visitare uno dei siti archeologici, non esitare a scriverci.

Adalya: The annual of the Suna & İnan KIRAÇ Research Institute on Mediterranean Civilizations
http://www.akmedadalya.com/images/top_09_en.gif
ADALYA:


The annual historical-archaeological journal of Suna & İnan KIRAÇ Research Institute on Mediterranean Civilizations has been published continuously at Antalya since 1996 and bears an ancient name of this historical city founded by the Pergamene King Attalos II ca. mid 2nd century BC.
The scope of ADALYA covers studies of history and archaeology and relevant disciplines regarding the research, documentation, conservation and repair of the historical, archaeological and cultural values of the Anatolian Mediterranean, i.e. the rich geography including "firstly Antalya and environs" comprising Lycia, Pamphylia, Pisidia and Cilicia, and interpretation of its relations with the cultures along the rest of the Mediterranean coastline

From the 2005 volume of Adalya, VIII onwards, the articles are indexed in the A&HCI (Arts & Humanities Cititation Index) and in the CC/A&H (Current Contents / Arts & Humanities). "Adalya" has also been listed in the "German Archaeological Institute's" (DAI) listing of abbreviations.

Rursus: Poétique, réception et récriture des textes antiques
ISSN électronique 1951-669X
http://www.openedition.org/docannexe/image/6443/rursus_160x75.png
La revue numérique Rursus est consacrée à des études portant sur la récriture. Elle a été conçue par les chercheurs de langues anciennes de l’Université de Nice, réunis de 2003 à 2007 dans la jeune équipe LA.LI.A, et est aujourd'hui publiée par le CEPAM (UMR 6130). La littérature dite ‘au second degré’ n’est pas une zone érudite, marginale, voire décadente du champ littéraire, mais la clé même de ce champ, puisque le régime original et originel de l’écriture est le second degré. Cette conviction d’une nature foncièrement hypertextuelle de la création n’est pas un dogme mais une attention de fond aux facteurs de mutation, de détournement et de renouvellement de la tradition.

Turfanforschung: Digitales Turfan-Archiv
http://www.bbaw.de/forschung/turfanforschung/dta/u/adler.gif

Die „Turfanforschung“ ediert Textzeugnisse, die in der Oase von Turfan und Umgebung in Ostturkistan (Autonome Region Xinjiang, VR China) gefunden wurden.



Manichäische Schreiber. Buchblatt aus Qočo; Fotostelle Museum für Asiatische Kunst Berlin
Die alten Kulturen an der Seidenstraße, zu der viele Völker und Glaubensgemeinschaften ihren Beitrag geleistet haben, treten in ihren eigenen Schrift- und Bildzeugnissen am klarsten hervor. Die vielfältigste und reichste Sammlung dieser Dokumente stammt aus der Oase von Turfan. Sie umfasst Textzeugnisse des Buddhismus, des Manichäismus und des Christentums sowie Dokumente des klösterlichen und wirtschaftlichen Alltags, Briefe und andere Texte in über 20 Sprachen und Schriften. Hauptaufgabe des Akademienvorhabens ist die Edition des türkischen und iranischen Teils der Berliner Turfansammlung.

Die Editionen werden in der eigenen Reihe„Berliner Turfantexte“ (BTT) veröffentlicht. Zur Schonung der Originale, der digitalen Bewahrung des Archivs und Bereitstellung der Texte im Internet wurde ein von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) finanziertes und in enger Kooperation mit der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin durchgeführtes Digitalisierungsprojekt initiiert: das Digitale Turfan-Archiv und daran anschließend IDP-Berlin, die deutsche Webpräsenz des „International Dunhuang Project“.
Gegenwärtig sind etwas mehr als 30.000 der 40.000 Fragmente der Turfansammlung digitalisiert. Eine enge Kooperation der Turfanforschungsstelle besteht mit dem von der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen getragenen Projekt „Katalogisierung der Orientalischen Handschriften in Deutschland“. Darüber hinaus arbeitet die Turfanforschung mit zahlreichen Forschungseinrichtungen weltweit von den USA bis Japan zusammen.

Das Akademienvorhaben ist Teil des „Zentrums Grundlagenforschung Alte Welt" der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften.

Death on the Nile
http://www.proyectos.cchs.csic.es/death/themes/danland/images/slideshows/death.gif
There are many ways of approaching the funerary world in any civilization of Antiquity. In the case of Ancient Egypt, papyrology provides an exceptionally rich and multifaceted source of information to understand both the religious and the more mundane and administrative perspectives of the phenomenon of death.

The purpose of this project is the study of all aspects of death in Graeco-Roman Egypt in the variety of documentary, literary and paraliterary texts that have reached us, including both written sources and iconographical representations. The centre of this project, however, is the creation of an online database which will make all known and published mummy labels available, as well as editing for the first time those which are currently unpublished.

Revue des études anciennes
ISSN : 0035-2004
La REA Revue des Etudes Anciennes est une revue plus que centenaire mais qui conserve encore la vocation très large que lui avait assignée son fondateur Georges Radet en 1899. Toutes les grandes zones du domaine ancien s’y trouvent représentées (histoire, littérature, philologie, archéologie, géographie, origines orientales) et c’est ce qui en fait son originalité parmi les revues françaises ou étrangères comparables.

Archaeology in the United Arab Emirates
The aim of the journal 'Archaeology of the United Arab Emirates' is to promote and enhance interest in the archaeological heritage of the United Arab Emirates. It aims to serve as a publication forum for those interested in the latest survey, excavation and research results from archaeological sites in the UAE. Volumes 1 to 5 of this journal were previously published by the former Department of Antiquities and Tourism, Al Ain, between 1976-1989.

Papers presented at this conference will be published in the journal, 'Archaeology in the United Arab Emirates - Volume 6', which will provide up-to-date documentation of the current status of archaeological research in the UAE.

Following the conference participants will have until the 15 May 2011 to submit the written version of their paper. This should not exceed a total of 5000 words (including the references), with a maximum of 10 figures or plates. We plan to carry out peer reviewing of all submitted papers which will then be published as Volume 6 of the journal, "Archaeology of the United Arab Emirates".

Mapping the Jewish Communities of the Byzantine Empire
http://www.mjcb.eu/images/public/logo.jpg 
The aim of the project is to map the Jewish presence in the Byzantine empire using GIS (Geographical Information Systems). 

All information (published and unpublished) about the Jewish communities will be gathered and collated.

The data will be incorporated in a GIS which will be made freely available to the general public on the world-wide-web.

Researchers and members of the public will be able to create maps according to their own specifications.

Chronologically, the project will begin in 650. This is soon after the Arab conquest of Egypt, Palestine and Syria when these regions, with their substantial Jewish populations, were permanently separated from the Byzantine empire. The end-date is fixed by the arrival in the region of large numbers of Jewish immigrants from Spain in 1492.

Geographically, the core areas of Asia Minor, the southern Balkans and the adjacent islands including Crete and Cyprus will be included for the entirety of the period, Byzantine Italy however, will only be covered down to the Norman conquest. Some smaller territories that were only briefly under Byzantine rule may be excluded.

It used to be fairly common for specialized library collections to produce periodic Acquisitions Lists.  Mostly these were circulated in print, informally.  Some institutions have made the transition to email distribution, and others to digital. I'm gathering links here to them and to other useful open access periodic bibliography projects. Not everything listed here is up to date, but all of them are useful.  I'll be grateful to hear of others and will happily include them in the list.  Please leave a comment.

Theban Mapping Project Progress Reports
Since its inception in 1978, the Theban Mapping Project (TMP, now based at the American University in Cairo) has been working to prepare a comprehensive archaeological database of Thebes. With its thousands of tombs and temples, Thebes is one of the world's most important archaeological zones. Sadly, however, it has not fared well over the years. Treasure-hunters and curio-seekers plundered it in the past; pollution, rising ground water, and mass-tourism threaten it in the present. Even early archaeologists destroyed valuable information in their search for museum-quality pieces.

Today, however, we realize that the monuments of Thebes are a finite resource. If we fail to protect and monitor them, they will vanish, and we and our descendants will all be the poorer. The TMP believes that the first and most essential step in preserving this heritage is a detailed map and database of every archaeological, geological, and ethnographic feature in Thebes. Only when these are available can sensible plans be made for tourism, conservation, and further study.

During the last decade, the TMP has concentrated on the Valley of the Kings. Modern surveying techniques were used to measure its tombs. From the data collected, the TMP is preparing 3-D computer models of the tombs. And of course, the TMP is continuing its excavation of KV 5. For the TMP staff, sharing their work with the interested public is just as important as what they do in the field. This has been done through a series of publications and this growing website.
