Harvard Expedition to Samaria, 1908–1910
Harvard University Library Open Collections Program
http://ocp.hul.harvard.edu/expeditions/images/reisner.jpg 
Harvard’s Committee on Exploration in the Orient designated the American archaeologist George A. Reisner to direct the University’s expedition to Samaria. With sponsorship from Jacob H. Schiff, the expedition was intended to excavate the site of Samaria (Sebaste), which was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Israel.

Reisner located remains of the royal palace built by Omri and Ahab during the Israelite period, as well as remnants of buildings constructed during later periods of occupation by Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans. Noteworthy among the artifacts found were ostraca, or pottery fragments, depicting Hebrew-character inscriptions in carbon ink of Biblical names and memoranda of commercial shipments.

Roman Roads and Milestones in Judaea/Palaestina 
http://milestones.kinneret.ac.il/images/header.jpg
In 1970 The Israel Milestone Committee (IMC) was formed by Mordechai Gichon as a branch of the International Curatorium of the Corpus Miliariorum. The aim of the committee was to assemble, study and prepare for publication the milestones inscriptions found in Israel. The IMC also intended to carry out a systematic survey of all the extant remains related to roads, in order to provide a comprehensive picture of the Roman road network in Israel. For almost 40 years the Committee's field and research work was led by Israel Roll and Benjamin Isaac together with other scholars.

    Platon aujourd’hui
    Loin de diminuer à l’orée du troisième millénaire, le nombre des études spécialisées sur Platon, son œuvre et sa philosophie ne cesse d’augmenter. Pourquoi cet engouement pour un philosophe que deux millénaires et demi séparent de nous ? De quelle signification et de quelle portée est la philosophie platonicienne pour le monde d’aujourd’hui ? Qu’il s’agisse de questions épistémologiques, de réflexion sur les mathématiques, la physique, la cosmologie ; qu’il s’agisse encore(...)

On behalf of the Oracc Steering Committee--myself, Eleanor Robson, and Niek Veldhuis--I am pleased to announce the appearance of Oracc 3, the most important visible feature of which is a reimplementation of the main browsing interface (the "pager"). The pager has been streamlined and rewritten for improved stability and many more changes have been made under the surface to support Oracc's next moves, including the creation of new dedicated servers, one at the University of Pennsylvania and the other at University College, London.

For help on the new user interface, click on the query icon, or see http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/doc2/help/visitingoracc/index.html .

To access additional resources from the pager, click on the plus icon.

The documentation has been extensively revised by Eleanor Robson, and the portal implementation has been reworked by Ruth Horry to be responsive to different sized media such as mobile devices. Niek Veldhuis has provided extensive feedback and testing over the last year which has yielded many improvements.

In addition we encourage you to follow Oracc on various social media platforms--just click on the FaceBook, Blogspot and Twitter icons at the foot of the home page, http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/ / http://oracc.org/ .

As usual, please report any bugs to me, stinney@upenn.edu.

Poorly Attested Words in Ancient Greek 
http://www.aristarchus.unige.it/pawag/images/banner.gif
The project Poorly Attested Words in Ancient Greek (PAWAG) has the aim of setting up a database in the form of an electronic dictionary that gathers together words of Ancient Greek that are either only scantily attested (i.e. with one or few occurrences), inadequately (i.e.characterized by some sort of uncertainty) or in any case problematically, both from a formal and semantic point of view.

The project is open to international collaboration and the archive will be drawn up through progressive expansion both in the number of entries and their contents, with gradual correction and updating and elimination of any ghost-word.

The database is available free and offers a scientific tool for scholars in the research on classical world as well as a supplement to the existing dictionaries of ancient Greek (in which satisfactory attention can hardly be paid to the complex field of Poorly Attested Words), in order to make a contribution to future improvement of Greek lexicography.

Revue de théologie et de philosophie
ISSN: 0035-1784
La Revue de théologie et de philosophie (RThPh) a été fondée en 1868 par des philosophes et des théologiens protestants de Suisse romande. Elle parut à l’origine sous le titre «Théologie et philosophie: Compte rendu des principales publications scientifiques à l’étranger ». Elle fut donc au départ un simple bulletin de recensions. Le but des premiers rédacteurs était d’informer le public philosophique et théologique romand des nouveaux travaux allemands, anglais et italiens, sans parti pris, selon le principe « La vérité sans la recherche de la vérité n’est pas la vérité ».
Au fil des ans, la RThPh est devenue une revue, assurant, à côté des comptes rendus, la publication d’articles, de chroniques et d’études critiques, participant ainsi elle-même plus activement aux travaux et débats en cours.

Pour plus de détails sur l’histoire de la Revue:
Henri Meylan, «La Revue de théologie et de philosophie 1868 1968», RThPh, 1968, pp. 273 292.
Pour trouver un article ou une recension dans la Revue, on peut consulter les quatre volumes de «Tables» élaborés au fil des décennies: 1868-1911, 1913-1937, 1938-1967 et 1968-1995. Les deux derniers volumes sont en vente auprès du Secrétariat de la Revue

Roman Provincial Coinage Online
http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/images/rpc_online.png
The aim of the Roman Provincial Coinage series is to produce a standard typology of the provincial coinage of the Roman Empire from its beginning in 44 BC to its end in AD 296/7. The current Roman Provincial Coinage Online project is confined to the Antonine period (AD 138–192), but it is intended that it will form a model for putting other periods online in the future.

The database is based on the ten most important and accessible collections in the world, and on all published material. It comprises one of the largest collections of images and related inscriptions from the ancient world which is searchable by iconography, place, and time.

The database contains information on 13,729 coin types, based on 47,536 specimens (9,061 of which have images).

Digitale Keilschriftbibliothek Lexikalischer Listen aus Assur
http://keil.uni-goettingen.de/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/front.jpg
Das Projekt „Digitale Keilschriftbibliothek Lexikalischer Listen aus Assur (DKB-LLA)“ ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt des Seminars für Altorientalistik (Assyriologie) der Universität Göttingen und der Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung Göttingen (GWDG).

Ziel des Projektes ist die philologisch-wissenschaftliche Aufbereitung aller lexikalischen Texte aus den Ausgrabungen, die in den Jahren 1903-1914 unter der Leitung von Walter Andrae in Assur (Nordikrak) durchgeführt wurden, und die heute im Vorderasiatischen Museum zu Berlin liegen. Der Teil der Texte aus Assur, die sich heute in den Archäologischen Museen zu Istanbul befinden, wird zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt nicht in den Bestand der „Digitalen Keilschriftbibliothek“ aufgenommen.
Die Publikation soll einem wissenschaftlichen Publikum einen schnellen und unkomplizierten Zugriff auf das Korpus der lexikalischen Texte aus Assur ermöglichen. Daneben sollen allgemeine Informationsseiten die Bedeutung und den Stellenwert dieses Textkorpus für die mesopotamische Geistesgeschichte auch Studierenden sowie einem allgemein interessierten Publikum verdeutlichen.
Das Korpus der DKB-LLA umfasst 410 Tafeln und Fragmente, die zu 18 unterschiedlichen Serien lexikalischer Listen gehören. Nur rund 60% dieser Texte wurden in früheren Veröffentlichungen (z.B. in den Materialien zum Sumerischen Lexikon, Chicago) publiziert, davon ist bisher jedoch auch nur ein Teil in Handkopien veröffentlicht worden.
Alle Texte werden in fachüblichen Bearbeitungen durch Transliterationen sowie zusätzlich durch Fotos und kurze Kommentare, darunter auch Zitate der Listeneinträge in den Wörterbüchern „Akkadisches Handwörterbuch (AHw)“ und „The Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago (CAD)“ sowie der Angabe einer möglichen Bedeutung jedes Listeneintrags im Internet veröffentlicht und langfristig verfügbar gemacht.
