ARTA: Achaemenid Research on Texts and Archaeology
ISSN: 2110-6118
http://www.interbible.org/interBible/carrefour/annuaire/poa/achemenet.jpg
The Achemenet project aims to provide a platform for the much needed international cooperation and multidisciplinary approach to the Achaemenid world. Within this project the electronic newsletter ARTA is intended as a speedy vehicle for exchanging ideas and spreading news on excavations, publications, congresses etc.

Materials to be published in ARTA should be related to the Achaemenid world in its widest sense. This definition clearly does not exclude notes on Alexander the Great, the Neo-Elamite period, etc. as long as they are relevant to the Achaemenid world.

The content of texts submitted to ARTA may be research notes or short articles, announcements or reviews of publications, messages on congresses, exhibitions or excavations.
An author index of all articles publishes in ARTA:

      Egyptology Books and Articles in PDF Online
      University of Memphis logo
      The world-wide-web is replete with links to Egyptological resources, and there are many pages of bibliography out there, of which the prime example is the Online Egyptological Bibliography. But as yet, none of the more systematic bibliographies are publishing links to the actual PDF files of books and articles which may be freely acquired online, although they may be collecting the URL references. This project attempts to go some way toward filling that gap. 

      Click here for the full list.

      Notice: Bookmark this page, not the full list, as the file name may change.
      The list uses standard Egyptological abbreviations for books and journals.

      This project is a "work in progress", and is bound to contain errors and omissions. The document takes the form of one large HTML file with the data arranged by author; links to both the web page from which the file can be accessed and the PDF file for the document itself are given. Searching must be done using the Find function of your web browser. It may be possible to enhance this capability in the future, but much will depend on the reactions of internet users to this work.
      The data has been collected and arranged by Andrea Middleton and Brooke Garcia, Graduate Assistants in the Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology, a unit of the Department of Art in the University of Memphis (Tennessee, USA). We have tried to seek out as many books and articles as possible on Egyptological subjects which are freely accessible to anyone without the need for privileged access. Thus we have searched sites such as the Internet Archive, the University of Heidelberg Library, the Oriental Institute, the Metropolitan Museum, the Giza Library, Ancient World Online (AWOL), and many more, as well as attempting to collect links noted in the pages of EEF (Egyptologists' Electronic Forum) News. 

      Sites which require institutional access or a password are not included—thus journals on JSTOR have not been indexed. Nor have papers available on www.academia.edu or  http://www.ifao.egnet.net/bifao/ (BIFAO) been included here. It is likely that some articles on JSTOR are duplicated elsewhere, and it is equally possible that some articles and books are available at more than one location. In the latter case, we have tried to give all the options. 

      Please report comments, errors, omissions, etc. to  nigel.strudwick @ memphis.edu. We hope this work is useful.

      TAARII Newsletter: The American Academic Research Institute in Iraq
      http://www.taarii.org/templates/jsn_maximus/images/masthead.jpg
      The American Academic Research Institute in Iraq (TAARII — formerly the American Association for Research in Baghdad, AARB) has been established to promote scholarly research on and in Iraq and ancient Mesopotamia. The Institute, a consortium of American universities and museums, intends to establish a multidisciplinary American scholarly research center in Iraq when conditions permit. TAARII raises funds for graduate and post-graduate fellowships for Americans to work on Iraq in as broad a range of disciplines as possible. It also has a fellowship program for Iraqi academics to aid them in carrying out research in Iraq. TAARII initiates its own research projects and fosters joint projects between American and Iraqi academics. Like similar American overseas research centers, TAARII has as its primary focus the humanities and social sciences, as well as closely related natural sciences, but it will facilitate outstanding research in any legitimate academic field.
      ANNOUNCEMENT
      As readers may by aware, TAARII is committed to producing and printing a bilingual newsletter in English and in Arabic. Our September 2007 issue, sadly, was printed primarily in English (with Arabic to appear on the website). We regret that, beginning with the Spring 2008 issue, our newsletter is in printed in English only. We hope to seek funds for its Arabic translation for posting on our website and are actively seeking support for the ongoing cost of translation, so that we can continue printing a bilingual edition. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we raise the necessary funds.

      ΛΟΓΕΙΟΝ
      Logeion (literally, a place for words; in particular, a speaker's platform, or an archive) was developed after the example of dvlf.uchicago.edu, to provide simultaneous lookup of entries in the many reference works that make up the Perseus Classical collection. As always, we are grateful for the Perseus Project's generosity in sharing their data. None of this would be possible without their commitment to open access. To improve the chronological range for which the dictionaries are useful, we have added DuCange (see below), and to enhance this site as both a research and a pedagogical tool, we add information based on corpus data in the right side bar, as well as references to chapters in standard textbooks. More such 'widgets' will be added over time, along with, we hope, still more dictionaries. 

      Update December 2013:We are delighted to announce that we are adding the premier dictionary for Ancient Greek, the Diccionario Griego-Español (DGE), to Logeion. Both for entries from DGE and from DuCange, we will include a link to these dictionaries' home sites for every entry we display. As we work on displaying these entries better, we recommend (also) visiting the home sites, which look positively elegant. This update also brings the Latin-Dutch dictionary, LaNe, up to date with the printed 6th edition, which will be coming out soon.

      Quaderni IMTO
      http://arabiantica.humnet.unipi.it/fileadmin/templates/images/testata.jpg
      Quaderni IMTO was established with the aim of implementing the preliminary reports of the archaeological fieldwork which is being carried on at the sites of Khor Rori (Sumhuram), Salut, Salut – ST1, and Mughsail.

      While preliminary reports concerning the activities of the Italian Mission to Oman at the site of Khor Rori and Salut will continue to be presented in the "Archaeological campaigns" section, the new online series Quaderni IMTO will provide the publication of the revised reports and of short updates concerning peculiar finds or structures discovered during the excavations.

      This is meant to promptly provide the visitors with news from the field, in advance of a proper publication of the excavation results or of specific artifacts by the members of IMTO.

      Dictynna: revue de poétique latine
      http://dictynna.revues.org/docannexe/file/319/dictynna.png
      Si l'on en croit Callimaque, qui raconte cette histoire dans son hymne à Artémis, Dictynna est l'épithète que gagna la nymphe Britomartis, à l'issue d'une aventure amoureuse où elle faillit périr. Elle s'était jetée dans les flots pour échapper à Minos, qui la poursuivait depuis  neuf mois, et fut sauvée par des pêcheurs qui   la recueillirent dans leurs filets. On la surnomma Dictynna (du mot diktuon, « filet ») et  on désigna sous le nom de Dikté le mont d'où elle avait bondi. Le nom de Dictynna est attesté à l'époque mycénienne : ce fut, sans doute, celui d'une déesse crétoise de la chasse avant de désigner une compagne d'Artémis, puis de devenir une épiclèse de la déesse elle-même.

      helden. heroes. héros: E-Journal zu Kulturen des Heroischen
      http://www.sfb948.uni-freiburg.de/e-journal/ausgaben/012013/ausgabe012013teaser2
      Helden und Heldinnen sind exzeptionell, weil sie Außerordentliches leisten, die Sphäre des Normalen überschreiten und ihren eigenen Gesetzen folgen. Sie sind zugleich problematische Figuren, die für Gewalt- und Opferbereitschaft stehen und die Regeln des Sozialen brechen. Ihren Verehrergemeinschaften dienen sie als idealisierende Projektionen und liefern Modelle für die Bewältigung nicht lebbarer Normensysteme. Heroisierungsprozesse geben Aufschluss über kollektive Selbstdeutungen und Werthorizonte. Welche Figuren heroisiert werden und welche Formen ihre Verehrung annimmt, das verweist nicht zuletzt auf die Anforderungen, die eine Gesellschaft an ihre Mitglieder stellt. In der Gegenwart konkurrieren Diagnosen eines „postheroischen Zeitalters“ mit einer neuen Konjunktur des Heroischen, in der fortlebende Traditionen neben popkulturellen Umdeutungen, appellative Beschwörungen neben Skepsis und Tabuisierung stehen.

      Das E-Journal helden. heroes. héros. widmet sich in einer kulturübergreifenden, komparativen Langzeitperspektive dem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen der Exzeptionalität von Heldenfiguren und den sozialen Ordnungen, die durch sie stabilisiert, aber auch in Frage gestellt werden. Herausgegeben wird es vom DFG-geförderten Sonderforschungsbereich 948 „Helden – Heroisierungen – Heroismen“ an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. Es erscheint in zwei Ausgaben pro Jahr als Open Access-Publikation.
      Manuskripteinsendungen für das E-Journal helden. heroes. héros. sind willkommen. Aus den eingehenden Manuskripten wird nach dem für wissenschaftliche Publikationen üblichen Peer-Review-Verfahren ausgewählt.
