Emergency Red List of Libyan Cultural Objects at Risk
http://icom.museum/uploads/pics/logo.gif
Why a Red List for Libya?          
The instability and violence that Libya experienced in recent years have put its cultural heritage under tremendous stress and high risk. The threat of systematic damage to cultural heritage sites is of great concern. The losses endured are leading to the historical impoverishment of a country with an exceptionally rich cultural heritage. The slow but steady disappearance of Libya’s cultural witnesses of the past has rendered evident the need for immediate action that will help protect them.
ICOM, thanks to the support of the US Department of State, is publishing the Emergency Red List of Libyan Cultural Objects at Risk to help law enforcement officials as well as art and heritage professionals identify objects originating from Libya that are protected by national legislation and international agreements and instruments, and at risk of being illicitly traded.
The purpose of the Emergency Red List of Libyan Cultural Objects at Risk is to ensure the right of future generations to this heritage. To this aim, ICOM, in close cooperation with a team of national and international experts, has identified and presented here the types of objects from Libya that the current market trends are exposing to the greatest risks.

PETRAE
http://petrae.huma-num.fr/templates/templatepetrae/images/header.jpg
La base PETRAE est un système d’enregistrement des inscriptions latines et grecques mis au point à l’Institut Ausonius, qui recueille les textes épigraphiques de différentes régions où travaillent ses chercheurs et leurs collaborateurs.
Chaque fiche présente le texte de l’inscription en version majuscule et minuscule, accompagné des métadonnées sur tous les aspects du monument : support, fragments, champs épigraphiques et éléments du texte (datations, paléographie, apparat critique, traduction, remarques).
Les fiches sont reliées aux index et à la bibliographie générale et présentent une documentation graphique importante. Les rubriques numériques et à mot clefs accompagnent d’autres à rédaction libre.
La base PETRAE réunit les inscriptions publiées (livres ou articles) sous format PETRAE.
Chaque fiche présente donc des données récentes et validées par les chercheurs qui la signent.

    revista-spal
    La revista Spal. Revista de Prehistoria y Arqueología de la Universidad de Sevilla recibe su nombre del topónimo más antiguo atribuido a Hispalis, Isbilya o Sevilla, la ciudad en cuya universidad nace. La revista tiene una periodicidad anual y es publicada por el Secretariado de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Sevilla ubicado en c/ Porvenir nº 27, 41013 Sevilla, 95 448 7443.

    Spal fue fundada en 1992 con el propósito básico de servir de vehículo para la difusión de las investigaciones realizadas en el campo de la Arqueología desde la Universidad de Sevilla. Aunque nunca ha perdido un especial interés por las investigaciones relativas a la Prehistoria y la Arqueología andaluzas, progresivamente ha ido abriéndose a toda la comunidad científica nacional e internacional y ampliado los objetivos temáticos. En estos 20 años de vida de Spal se han editado 21 números, en los que se han publicado 290 artículos, que constituyen básicamente investigación original, y 16 reseñas. A día de hoy la revista ha obtenido un reconocido prestigio como foro de difusión y debate científicos y logrado un reconocimiento que ha llevado a su indexación en ISOC y en Anthropological Literature, clasificada en el grupo B de CIRC y a quedar encuadrada en el primer cuartil de las revistas del Área de Humanidades (3ª de 88), según los índices IN-RECH y RESH. Este reconocimiento científico de Spal no habría sido posible sin la generosidad de más de 500 autores y la labor poco visible y altruista de numerosos investigadores de reconocido prestigio que han colaborado tanto en los diferentes órganos de gestión de la revista como actuando de revisores de los originales.

    Commensality and Ceremonial Meals in the Neo-Assyrian Period
    Stefania Ermidoro
    Like a language, food is a witness to the tradition and to the identity of a human group, reflecting self-representation and social interaction. Assyrians developed a particular consciousness of commensality as a vehicle for cultural messages. This book investigates institutional banquets and ritualized meals in the Neo-Assyrian period. Through a philological analysis on commensality, integrated with historical and iconographic data, it offers a new perspective on the Mesopotamian society of the first millennium BCE.

    Directed by Simon Keay, the Portus Project is guided by two main objectives.  Firstly, it seeks to build a better understanding of Portus itself, as well as its relationship to Ostia, Rome, and the rest of the Mediterranean.  Secondly, it aims to develop techniques that will enhance the ways in which highly complex classical sites can be investigated and recorded, and evaluate the impact of those techniques. Used in combination, non-destructive survey, open area excavation, and the computer graphic representation of excavated and graphically-simulated Roman buildings are key components to achieving these objectives.

    Roman Imperial Coin Concordance: Roman Imperial Coin Crowd Sourcing
    This project has been formulated by Daniel Pett (British Museum) and Ethan Gruber (American Numismatic Society) to aid with the assignation of Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC) identifiers. 

    At the time of writing, the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) database holds details for over 200,000 Roman coins. Many of these fall into the Imperial coinage category. In August 2016, the facility was introduced to integrate with Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE) and tie the two resources together. This relies on the PAS records being assigned a standardised identifier, and has presented a computational problem that can possibly be solved by Human interaction with automatically generated results.

    In this project, you will be presented with a coin from the PAS database which has potential matches to RIC identifiers drawn from OCRE and matched by computational methods by Ethan Gruber using the RDF triplestorecreated by Daniel Pett. Each coin has up to 4 matches and we would like contributors to choose the most likely match, or if an exact match is impossible, to indicate that this is the case. We hope that the tutorial explains exactly how to proceed.

    Once 5 people have checked and attributed the coins, we'll consolidate data and then update the PAS database which will then populate the ANS OCRE platform with PAS examples.
