Da Roma a Gades/De Roma a Gades: Gestione, smaltimento e riuso dei rifiuti artigianali e commerciali in ambiti portuali marittimi e fluviali/La gestión, eliminación y reutilización de residuos artesanales y comerciales en ámbitos portuarios marítimos y fluviales

Edited by Darío Bernal-Casasola, Alessia Contino, Renato Sebastiani

Da Roma a Gades/De Roma a Gades is dedicated to the illustrious and beloved archaeologist Simon Keay. It collects the scientific results of the International Workshop held in Rome in September 2019, which discussed the management, elimination and reuse of artisanal and commercial waste in maritime and river ports. Two relevant archaeological finds in recent years (the ‘Nuovo Mercato Testaccio’ in Rome, focused on the recycling of rudera; and the ‘Halieutic Testaccio’ in Gades, dedicated to waste from the fish processing industry), both currently being opened as museums, have constituted the spur to revive the discussion on the fundamental importance of ‘dumps’ for historical reconstruction in Antiquity. A dozen contributions from Italian, Spanish and French colleagues analyze the role of urban waste in the city from multiple perspectives, although most prominently from an archaeological point of view. From the few public examples still known in the Roman world (Monte Testaccio and the new find in Cádiz, possibly managed by that municipium in Baetica) to the problem of selected and unselected waste. Through paradigmatic examples from the Western Mediterranean (from the Palatine or Trastevere in Rome to the unique cases of Augusta Emerita or Arles) the contributors reflect on the ‘typology’ of dumps and their importance for understanding the ways of life of past societies.

Who Were the Plunderers of Salmydessus?

Who Were the Plunderers of Salmydessus?

By Miroslav Ivanov Vasilev

Who Were the Plunderers of Salmydessus? discusses ten references (from different periods) concerning the piratical activities of the Thracians at Salmydessus in an attempt to identify who these Thracians were. The goal set, the specificity of the references, and, above all, the probability that most of the authors under review had no first-hand experience of the area of Salmydessus, but relied on the works of their predecessors, define the character of the study and the research methods used. It is a historical work, with a strong element of Quellenforschung, and provides a comprehensive examination of the literary and epigraphic evidence relevant to the topic.

The Necropolis of Abila of the Decapolis 2019-2021

The Necropolis of Abila of the Decapolis 2019-2021

By Abdulla Al-Shorman 

Abila of the Decapolis is the largest Graeco-Roman city in Jordan with a tremendous wealth of funerary remains, and thus has the potential to improve our understanding of ancient culture and mobility. This is the first comprehensive synthesis of burial types, practices, and evidence for societal collapse in the growing field of bioarchaeology of Jordan. The book provides a comprehensive descriptive catalogue of the tombs and classification of tomb types, documented by over a hundred plans and 3D reconstructions. It also presents a model to explain the decline of Abila at the end of the Byzantine period. It will be a unique source for students and researchers interested in the funerary architecture and bioarchaeology of the classical period (Greek, Roman, and Byzantine).

Abstract [en]

This Festschrift is a collection of papers in honour of Geoffrey Khan, the Regius Professor of Hebrew at the University of Cambridge, written by his former and current students and post-doctoral researchers. The work of Geoffrey Khan has had a tremendous impact on a vast array of domains of study, including Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Semitic grammar and linguistics, Bible vocalisation traditions, Cairo Genizah studies, palaeography, codicology and Arabic papyrology. This richness of investigated themes is reflected by the twenty-one papers in the present volume.

The volume consists of two parts. Papers in Part 1, ‘Linguistics, Grammar and Exegesis’, propose new interpretations of biblical language phenomena, discuss medieval approaches to the grammar of Biblical Hebrew and the narrative structure of the Bible, describe early-modern developments in the Hebrew language, and document and analyse three dialects of North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic. Part 2, ‘Texts, Scribes and the Making of Books and Documents’, is dedicated to manuscripts and their production, and in particular to the work of scribes. All papers in this part centre around manuscripts discovered in the Cairo Genizah and other similar collections. While thematically diverse, all contributions are united by a common approach of focusing on a careful description of the ‘document’ – whether it is a manuscript or a recording of a speaker of a contemporary endangered language – prior to its interpretation in the light of the most recent ideas of the relevant disciplines.

Abstract [en]

Thousands of Sumerian and Old Akkadian personal names from 3rd millennium BCE Meso-potamia are known and documented. The present study inspects names containing the royal appellatives, Sumerian lugal and Akkadian śarrum. The study aims at uncovering the rela-tionships between personal names and the development of early historical kingship and reli-gious thought in the area.

An overview of Sumerian and Old Akkadian names and name-giving serves as a starting point for semantic investigations of lugal- and śarrum-names. Sumerian and Old Akkadian names are to a large extent meaningful, and the literal meaning can be used to arrive at an understanding of the symbolic value, which led to the coining of the name. Discussions rely on comparable passages of contemporary and later written traditions.

To facilitate discussion and comparisons between the languages, names are divided into semantic groups based on characteristic traits found in contemporary royal inscriptions and religious texts. Parallel constructions are noted whenever such constructions are known. Names are assigned human or divine referents when possible. A look at political and religious developments puts the distribution of certain name types over time and space into perspective. Local and regional traditions and types are displayed and related either to royal ideological traits or to theological speculation. Besides locally significant gods, a few other deities can be identified as referents in names. A brief statistical overview of different archives shows that names featuring the figure of the lugal experience an increase in popularity at the expense of  other types.

A system of annotation gives approximate numbers for bearers of names belonging to the types investigated. Lists of attestations, which document date and archival context, form the basis for discussions and conclusions and make the material available for inspection and further exploration.

Open Access News: OSTP Issues Guidance to Make Federally Funded Research Freely Available Without Delay

OSTP Issues Guidance to Make Federally Funded Research Freely Available Without Delay

August 25, 2022 • Press Releases

Today, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) updated U.S. policy guidance to make the results of taxpayer-supported research immediately available to the American public at no cost. In a memorandum to federal departments and agencies, Dr. Alondra Nelson, the head of OSTP, delivered guidance for agencies to update their public access policies as soon as possible to make publications and research funded by taxpayers publicly accessible, without an embargo or cost. All agencies will fully implement updated policies, including ending the optional 12-month embargo, no later than December 31, 2025.

This policy will likely yield significant benefits on a number of key priorities for the American people, from environmental justice to cancer breakthroughs, and from game-changing clean energy technologies to protecting civil liberties in an automated world.

For years, President Biden has been committed to delivering policy based on the best available science, and to working to ensure the American people have access to the findings of that research. “Right now, you work for years to come up with a significant breakthrough, and if you do, you get to publish a paper in one of the top journals,” said then-Vice President Biden in remarks to the American Association for Cancer Research in 2016. “For anyone to get access to that publication, they have to pay hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars to subscribe to a single journal. And here’s the kicker — the journal owns the data for a year. The taxpayers fund $5 billion a year in cancer research every year, but once it’s published, nearly all of that taxpayer-funded research sits behind walls. Tell me how this is moving the process along more rapidly.” The new public access guidance was developed with the input of multiple federal agencies over the course of this year, to enable progress on a number of Biden-Harris Administration priorities.

“When research is widely available to other researchers and the public, it can save lives, provide policymakers with the tools to make critical decisions, and drive more equitable outcomes across every sector of society,” said Dr. Alondra Nelson, head of OSTP. “The American people fund tens of billions of dollars of cutting-edge research annually. There should be no delay or barrier between the American public and the returns on their investments in research.”

This policy update builds on the Biden-Harris Administration’s broader efforts to broaden the potential of the American innovation ecosystem by leveling the playing field for all American innovators, which can help ensure that the U.S. remains a world leader in science and technology. This policy guidance will end the current optional embargo that allows scientific publishers to put taxpayer-funded research behind a subscription-based paywall – which may block access for innovators for whom the paywall is a barrier, even barring scientists and their academic institutions from access to their own research findings. In addition, agencies will develop plans to improve transparency, including clearly disclosing authorship, funding, affiliations, and the development status of federally funded research – and will coordinate with OSTP to help ensure equitable delivery of federally funded research results and data.

Advocates, researchers, academic libraries, Congressional leaders, and others have long called for greater public access to federally funded research results. This policy update reflects extensive public engagement with stakeholders across the research publication ecosystem on ways to strengthen equitable access to federally funded research results. OSTP’s consultations have included large and small science and academic publishers, for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, libraries and universities, scholarly societies, and members of the general public.

In the short-term, agencies will work with OSTP to update their public access and data sharing plans by mid-2023. OSTP expects all agencies to have updated public access policies fully implemented by the end of 2025. This timeline gives agencies, researchers, publishers, and scholarly societies some flexibility on when to adapt to the new policies. Over the long term, OSTP will continue to coordinate with federal agencies to ensure that government public access policies adapt to new technologies and emerging needs.

 

The Minerva Center for the Relations between Israel and Aram in Biblical Times Mini-MOOC

RIAB Center "Mini-MOOC"

As part of the RIAB Center's public outreach, we have decided to put up a "Mini-MOOC" (=mini Massive Open Online Course) in which short video clips, by various members of the RIAB Center, on topics that are part of the Center's activities, are presented. These clips (that are no longer than 10-15 minutes), aim to introduce these topics to interested lay people, students and researchers. This will provide an introduction to these topics, and give an idea about the breadth of topics that are broached as part of the Center's activities.

Here are links to these clips:

* Prof. Aren Maeir (RIAB Center co-Director, BIU): Hazael of Aram at Philistine Gath

* Prof. Yigal Levin (BIU): Aram and Arameans in Chronicles

Open Access Journal: Archaeonautica

[First posted in AWOL 28 October 2013, updated (new volumes added) 28 August 2022]]

Archaeonautica
eISSN - 2117-6973

Archaeonautica is aimed at researchers, archaeologists, historians, as well as specialists in maritime and nautical history and archaeology. Its mission is to publish studies in submarine and subaquatic archaeology, both French and foreign, from prehistory to the 19^th century.

The journal was founded in 1977 in response to the lack of a specialist review in France that covered scientific themes on a larger scale than the simple excavation report. The chronological spread is wide since the intention is to cover all periods stretching from prehistory to the contemporary era: actual contributions run from protohistory up to modern times. Similarly, the geographic field is not strictly defined, although most of the work examined concerns the Mediterranean, European internal waterways with some articles looking at the eastern Atlantic seaboard.

A large part of the review is given over to publishing excavations of shipwrecks but the collection also includes more specific studies regarding nautical and harbour archaeology. Different aspects of economic and maritime history, as well as the history of attitudes are also tackled through analyses of literary, iconographic and technical sources.
