Digital Karnak
The colossal site of Karnak is one of the largest temple complexes in the world, with an incredibly rich architectural, ritual, religious, economic, social and political history. The Amun-Ra precinct, which includes an astonishing number of individual temples, shrines and processional ways, stands as a micro-cosmos of ancient Egypt.

We invite you to experience Karnak – to learn about an ancient site that still resonates today because of its monumental pylons, towering columns, stunning reliefs and architectural marvels. Enter the temple precinct and discover its rich religious, political and architectural history.

The Digital Karnak Project was designed and built at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) under the direction of Dr. Diane Favro (director of the ETC) and Dr. Willeke Wendrich (editor-in-chief of the UCLA Encyclopedia of Egyptology).

Journal of Open Archaeology Data (JOAD)
ISSN 2049-1565

The Journal of Open Archaeology Data (JOAD) features peer reviewed data papers describing archaeology datasets with high reuse potential. We are working with a number of specialist and institutional data repositories to ensure that the associated data are professionally archived, preserved, and openly available. Equally importantly, the data and the papers are citable, and reuse will be tracked. While still in beta phase, the journal is now accepting papers. We will also be adding new functionality over the next few weeks, and refining the look and feel.

The Rock-Cut Sacred Places of the Thracians and Other Palaeo-Balkan and Ancient Anatolian Peoples
Déclarant
L'Institut de thracologie de l'Académie bulgare des sciences est l'unique organisme scientifique spécialisé dans l'étude de l'histoire et de la culture antiques des Thraces et de leurs rapports avec d'autres peuples antiques d'Europe du sud-est et d'Asie Mineure (sur les territoires actuels de la Turquie, la Grèce et la Crète, la Bulgarie, la Macédoine, l'Albanie, la Serbie et le Monténégro, Chypre, la Moldavie, la Roumanie et l'Ukraine), avant la formation de l'empire byzantin et du premier royaume bulgare (du 5ème millénaire av. J.-C. au IVème-VIIème siècles). L'Institut de thracologie a rempli avec succès un rôle de centre de coordination, lors de la participation de la partie bulgare à la campagne de prospection et de restauration des vestiges de Carthage, organisée par l'UNESCO dans les années 70 du XXème siècle.
Problématique
Les monuments thraces les plus impressionnants et les plus importants pour la culture européenne sont les méga-ensembles rupestres représentant des lieux de culte. Ils appartiennent à la culture thrace, grecque, phrygienne, péonienne, illyrienne, dardane et se situent sur le territoire des pays susmentionnés d'Europe du sud-est et d'Asie Mineure. Les similitudes et les différences de ces sanctuaires, ainsi que leur destin historique représentent une source intarissable d'informations sur la formation des croyances religieuses dans les deux principaux types de sociétés antiques - les cités-états et les royaumes...

Linked Ancient World Data Institute
Applications due Monday, February 18, 2013
 
Drew University and New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) will host the Linked Ancient World Data Institute (LAWDI) from May 30th to June 1st, 2013. The venue for the 2013 session will be the Drew University campus in New Jersey. 

Linked Open Data” is an approach to the creation of digital resources that emphasizes connections between diverse information on the basis of published and stable web addresses (URIs) that identify common concepts and individual items. LAWDI, funded by the Office of Digital Humanities of the National Endowment for Humanities, brings together an international faculty of practitioners working in the field of Linked Data with twenty attendees who are implementing or planning the creation of digital resources. Travel costs will be covered for students from the United States. Partial travel stipends are likely to be available to overseas participants. Accommodation on the Drew University campus will be provided to all participants. 

LAWDI’s intellectual scope is the Ancient Mediterranean and Ancient Near East, two fields in which a large and increasing number of digital resources is available, with rich coverage of the archaeology, literature and history of these regions. Many of these resources publish stable URIs for their content and so are enabling links and re-use that create a varied research and publication environment. LAWDI attendees will learn how to take advantage of these resources and also how to contribute to the growing network of linked scholarly materials. A report on the first LAWDI session has appeared in Information Standards Quarterly: http://dx.doi.org/10.3789/isqv24n2-3.2012.08

The organizers encourage applications from faculty, university staff, graduate students, librarians, museum professionals, archivists and others with a serious interest in creating digital resources for the study of the Ancient World. Applications to attend should take the form of an attached (MS-Word, PDF or other common format) one-page statement of interest e-mailed to <sebastian.heath@nyu.edu> by Monday, February 18. A discussion of current or planned work should be a prominent part of this statement. As part of the curriculum, successful applicants will be asked to present their work and be ready to actively participate in conversations about topics presented by faculty and the other participants. 

There is a LAWDI announcement suitable for distribution. The twitter hashtag is #lawdi

Northwest Semitic Inscription Archive
Welcome to the Northwest Semitic Inscription Archive
Ammonite, Aramaic, Edomite, Hebrew, Moabite, Nabatean, Philistine,
Phoenician, Proto-Canaanite, Proto-Sinaitic, and Punic Inscriptions

Related BibliographyThe Northwest Semitic Inscription Archive (NSIA) has been designed to allow scholars and students access to inscriptions from the above list. The database is continuously updated to include recently published inscriptions. The text of each inscription may be viewed in Aramaic Block Script available at this site.

To use the database, we recommend first clicking on the ""Lryn" Font" button at the top of this page and follow the instructions to install the font onto your computer. For additional information on the font see Tips using the "Tipsheet" button at the top of this page. Once the "Lryn" font is installed, the text of each artifact will display in the Aramaic Block Script...
Inscription bearing artifacts and bibliographic references collected for the Northwest Semitic Inscription Archive are selected according to a rather broad set of parameters. The first goal is to include all Iron Age and Persian Period inscriptions in the Ammonite, Aramaic, Edomite, Hebrew, Moabite, Philistine, Phoenician, Proto-Canaanite, Proto-Sinaitic, and Punic dialects. Geographic provenance for these inscriptions includes the Levant, Egypt and Mesopotamia. Artifact type is limited to inscriptions on durable surfaces; stone, metal, and ceramic. Papyri are not included

Bibliographic references for each inscription are extensive, but not comprehensive. Bibliographic items which provide major discussion of the artifact and its text, comparative study of a group of inscriptions, major exegetical or historical interpretation of each text, or clear photographs/drawings of the artifact/inscription are included. The bibliographic materials are designed to provide significant points of entry into the study of each inscription. However, these bibliographic materials will not provide references to all the nuances of scholarly discussion about each inscription, nuances frequently found included in footnotes, or in tangential remarks within the body of a scholarly work.

In continuation of the long-lasting research of the University of Cologne into the cultural and environmental history of the eastern Sahara, the Wadi Sura Project was started in the beginning of 2009 as a joint archaeological mission of the University of Cologne, the Cologne University of Applied Sciences, and the German Archaeological Institute in Cairo, financed by the German Research Council (DFG).

The main objective is the study of the so-called "Cave of Beasts" (Wadi Sura II), a large rock art shelter, painted with thousands of figures, which is located at the southwestern base of the Gilf Kebir plateau close to the border of Libya.

The first primary objective of the Wadi Sura Project is the systematic documentation of the shelter and its rock paintings including their preservation status. The second focus of the project is the landscape archaeology of the Wadi Sura micro-region, which aims at integrating the rock shelter and its imagery into the archaeological context displayed in the distribution, dating, and function of prehistoric sites in the Wadi Sura area.

Propylaeum, die Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Altertumswissenschaften
http://www.propylaeum.de/fileadmin/img/logo_propylaeum.gif
Das Portal bietet Ihnen Fachinformationen für den gesamten Bereich der Altertumswissenschaften. Die Disziplinen Ägyptologie, Alte Geschichte, Altorientalistik, Byzantinistik, Klassische Archäologie, Klassische Philologie, Mittel- und Neulateinische Philologie sowie Vor- und Frühgeschichte sind jeweils mit einem eigenen Fachangebot vertreten.
Propylaeum offers a wide variety of points of entry to scholarly material on Antiquity. Notable among these are:

Propylaeum-DOK
Propylaeum-DOK, der Volltextserver der Virtuellen Fachbibliothek Altertumswissenschaft, Propylaeum wird von der Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg bereitgestellt. Die Publikationsplattform bietet Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern weltweit die Möglichkeit, ihre Veröffentlichungen aus allen Fachbereichen der Altertumswissenschaften kostenlos und in elektronischer Form nach den Grundsätzen des Open Access im WWW verfügbar zu machen. Die Arbeiten werden mit standardisierten Adressen (URN) und Metadaten (OAIPMH) dauerhaft zitierfähig archiviert. Sie sind damit in verschiedenen Bibliothekskatalogen und Suchmaschinen weltweit recherchierbar.
and

Themenportale
Mit der Einbindung von Themenportalen wird die virtuelle Fachbibliothek Propylaeum als dynamischer Prozess gestaltet: Für Forschende besteht so die Möglichkeit, in dieses Modul wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse aktiv einzubringen. Die erforderliche Betreuung eines Themenportals von Seiten der Fachwissenschaft fördert die Vernetzung bibliothekarischer und fachwissenschaftlicher Kompetenzen und führt so zu einer Steigerung des wissenschaftlichen Niveaus der Virtuellen Fachbibliothek Altertumswissenschaften.
Angestrebt wird deshalb, dass die Themenportale vorrangig von externen Kooperationspartnern, bei denen die jeweilige inhaltliche Verantwortung liegt, betreut werden. Das für die Webpräsenz von Propylaeum eingesetzte Content-Management-System TYPO 3 ermöglicht die verteilte Pflege durch externe Betreuer mit gezielt vergebenen Zugriffsberechtigungen. Zur Klärung technischer Fragestellungen steht an der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek eine interne Redaktionsstelle zur Verfügung.

Wenn Sie die Möglichkeit nutzen möchten, ein eigenes Themenportal in Propylaeum aufzubauen und zu betreuen, können Sie sich gerne an uns wenden.

P@lethnologie est la première revue bilingue de préhistoire en ligne (français/anglais). Cette double volonté (support numérique et bilinguisme) est au service de la plus grande diffusion de travaux, en particulier de recherches francophones, auprès d'une large communauté scientifique. L'approche socio-culturelle des populations préhistoriques (celles des chasseurs-cueilleurs, pasteurs et agro-pasteurs) y est développée grâce à la grande diversité des sujets, des contextes géographiques ainsi que des disciplines envisagés : analyse du mobilier archéologique, paléoenvironnement, archéozoologie, art, étude monographique de site... Ces annales proposent, au sein de chaque numéro, un dossier thématique, des contributions sur divers sujets qui composent l'actualité scientifique.

Its digital and bilingual format permits diverse works, particularly research by French speaking authors, to be widely diffused to a broad scientific community. A socio-cultural approach to prehistoric populations (hunter-gatherers, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists) is developed through the inclusion of a broad range of disciplines: archaeological artifact analysis, paleoenvironment, zooarchaeology, art, monographs of site studies, etc. Each issue includes a thematic section, composed of articles presenting recent research.

DĀMOS: Database of Mycenaean at Oslo
https://www2.hf.uio.no/damos/public/images/linearB_b.jpg 
DĀMOS (Database of Mycenaean at Oslo) aims at being an annotated electronic corpus of all the published Mycenaean texts, the earliest (ca. XV-XII B.C.) written evidence of the Greek language, comprised of inscriptions in the Linear B syllabic script.
Mycenaean texts are generally administrative documents, dating from ca 1450 to 1150 B.C., written mostly on clay tablets in a syllabic script that we call Linear B. They have been found within the rests of the Mycenaean palaces both on Crete and mainland Greece. They amount to something less then 6000 documents, although many of them are brief or fragmentary texts.
Linear B is a syllabic script not related to the later Greek alphabets. It belongs to a family of writing systems used in the Aegean area in the II and I millennium B.C., of which only Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary of the I millennium have been satisfactorily deciphered. It is important to remark that although Linear B as a writing system seems to have functioned well as a tool for recording administrative information, it is not in fact a very efficient instrument for rendering the phonetic system of Greek, since it presents many inaccuracies and deficiencies in this regard. This fact, together with the nature of the texts, sometimes makes our interpretation of the texts and of their language quite uncertain. This, in turn, shows well how important the opportunity is, which an annotated electronic corpus offers, of systematically crossing all the information available at the different levels of analysis and within the whole of the extant Mycenaean texts. 

The language of the documents, being the oldest attestation of an Indo-European language after Hittite and the only attestation of a Greek dialect in the II millennium B.C., presents several archaic and interesting linguistic features and poses some questions crucial for the history of the Greek language (and for the field of comparative Indo-European linguistics in general), which, especially because of the mentioned limitations of the content of the documents and the shortcomings of the writing system, are still in need of an appropriate, if not definitive, answer.

Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der griechischen Papyrusurkunden Ägyptens einschließlich der Ostraka usw., der lateinischen Texte, sowie der entsprechenden Urkunden aus benachbarten Regionen
Für die Datenbanken existieren drei verschiedene Ansichten (layouts), nämlich "Tabelle", "Formular" und "Suche". Nach dem Aufruf der Datenbank "Hauptregister" werden einem die augenblicklich ca 50.500 Datensätze in der vorgegebenen Reihenfolge präsentiert, und zwar zunächst in der tabellarischen Ansicht, welche außer der laufenden Nummer der Datensätze die Felder "PublikationL", "Datierung2", "Ort" und "Originaltitel" enthält. Die erste Seite gibt nur die ersten 25 Datensätze wieder, aber durch Clicken auf das Wort "Weiter" läßt man sich die nächsten 25 anzeigen, usw.
Durch einen Mausclick auf die laufende Nummer (oder auf das Wort "Formular" in der Titelleiste) gelangt man zur Formular-Ansicht des betreffenden Datensatzes, die zusätzlich Einblick in die Felder "Material", "Abbildung", "Andere Publikation", "Bemerkungen" und "Inhalt" gewährt.
WörterListen
In jedem Fall brauchen Sie das kostenlose Programm Acrobat Reader, am besten in der Version 4.0 (oder höher). Es kann z.B. an dieser Stelle heruntergeladen werden: Acrobat Reader Download. Es wird aber auch vielfach auf CDs verbreitet. Bei der Installation des Acrobat Reader wird optional in dem WWW-Browser Ihrer Wahl (Firefox, Internet Explorer usw.) auch ein Acrobat Plugin installiert. Wenn Sie in Ihrem WWW-Browser dieses Plugin haben, können Sie direkt eine der folgenden Adressen anclicken.
Es wird dann Acrobat im Browser-Fenster gestartet, und Sie können die WörterListen benutzen. Falls Sie die Datei auch auf Ihrem Rechner haben wollen, um sie später "off line" zu benutzen, können Sie sie mit dem Befehl "Save as ..." abspeichern.
Wenn Sie das Plugin nicht im Browser installiert haben, aber die Datei "off line" benutzen wollen, müssen Sie auf die Adresse klicken, aber dabei die Maustaste gedrückt halten. Aus den dann erscheinenden Optionen wählen Sie "Save this Link as ...".

Ein Hinweis für Macintosh-Benutzer: Nach dem Download hat die Datei möglicherweise das Icon des Browsers, nicht das von Acrobat Reader. Um sie zu benutzen, dürfen Sie sie nicht mit einem Doppelclick öffnen, sondern Sie müssen zuerst Acrobat Reader starten und die Datei dann mit dem "Open ..."-Befehl öffnen.

Digitalisierung der Heidelberger Papyrus-Sammlung (Projektbeschreibung)
Im Rahmen ihres Programms "Retrospektive Digitalisierung von Bibliotheksbeständen" förderte die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) vom 1. April 1999 bis zum 30. November 2002 ein Projekt zur Digitalisierung der Heidelberger Papyrussamlung. Dieses Projekt war mit einer Wissenschaftler- und einer Technikerstelle (3/4 Stelle) ausgestattet. Ziel des Projektes war die digitale Erfassung des Gesamtbestandes der Heidelberger Papyrussammlung, also nicht nur der griechischen Papyri, die mit etwa 5000 Stück den Hauptbestandteil der Sammlung ausmachen, sondern auch der ca 3200 arabischen, 1370 koptischen und 815 demotischen Papyri, sowie darüberhinaus kleinerer Partien hieratischer, mittelpersischer, hebräischer, lateinischer, aramäischer und syrischer Papyri und schließlich der 760 griechischen Ostraka...
Dokumentarische Rückseiten literarischer Papyri

Während dokumentarische Papyri häufig auf den Tag genau datierbar sind und selbst dann, wenn sie keinen konkreten Hinweis auf ihr Entstehungsdatum enthalten, dieses aufgrund des Schriftcharakters recht zuverlässig erschlossen werden kann, ist die Datierung literarischer Papyri erheblich problematischer, weil man bei ihnen ausschließlich auf paläographische Kriterien angewiesen ist. Sie sind hinwiederum in der Regel in Schriftstilen geschrieben worden, die über lange Zeit hinweg kanonische Geltung hatten, so daß um mehrere hundert Jahre divergierende Datierungsvorschläge ausgewiesener Paläographen keine Seltenheit sind. Nun gibt es eine nicht unbeträchtliche Anzahl von Papyri, die auf der Vorderseite einen literarischen Text und auf der Rückseite einen dokumentarischen enthalten, oder umgekehrt. Dadurch ergeben sich für die literarischen Seiten recht zuverlässige termini ante bzw. post quem ihrer Entstehung. Ziel des Projekts ist es, einen Katalog derartiger Papyri in der Form einer elektronischen Datenbank zu erarbeiten, die über das Internet für Suchabfragen bereitgestellt werden soll. Eine Auswahl besonders wichtiger Beispiele soll daneben in traditioneller Weise in einem Band mit einem Abbildungsteil und begleitenden theoretischen Darlegungen veröffentlicht werden. Beide Publikationen werden weiteren paläographischen Forschungen als wertvolle Arbeitsinstrumente dienen können.
Erweiterung des HGV um bibliographische Nachweise vorhandener Übersetzungen und Übersetzung der in BGU I - IV enthaltenen griechischen Texte
Ziel des von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderten Projekts ist es, im Rahmen des Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der griechischen Papyrusurkunden Ägyptens (HGV) interessierten Nutzern Übersetzungen von griechischen Papyrusurkunden aus dem antiken Ägypten möglichst in elektronischer Form, zumindest aber über bibliographische Verwiese zugänglich zu machen. Primäre Zielgruppe sind hierbei Wissenschaftler und Studierende der Klassischen Altertumswissenschaften, deren Kenntnisse des Altgriechischen (bzw. der in den Papyri verwendeten Fachsprache) nicht ausreichen, um eigenständig und mit vertretbarem Aufwand einen Papyrustext im Original lesen zu können. Aber auch interessierten Laien, die über die mittlerweile recht breit vorliegenden Sammlungen repräsentativer Texte mit Übersetzungen einen Einstieg in diese Textgattung gefunden haben, soll so die Vertiefung ihrer Kenntnisse ermöglicht werden.
