Das Themenportal "Emar - Meskene, Syrien" soll
die Grabungen und Restaurierungsarbeiten der Universität Tübingen in der
antiken Siedlung dokumentieren sowie möglichst alle im Internet
befindlichen Quellen zum Ort sammeln und miteinander vernetzen.
The Middle Euphrates Digital Archive is an ongoing project of the Dipartimento di Studi Asiatici, the Università degli Studi di Napoli "L'Orientale".
It was conceived and carried out by Dr. Francesco Di Filippo, under the supervision of Prof. Carlo Zaccagnini,
and with the financial support of the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR). The project also
benefited from the pioneered work of Dr. Stefano Bassetti (a former student of Prof. Carlo Zaccagnini at the University
of Bologna), who in the late 80's carried out a comprehensive encoding of the Emar corpus.
At present the online database includes all Emar texts published to date ‒ originating from the regular excavation or from
the antiquities market ‒, thus representing the first thesaurus of this wealthy Late Bronze Age Syrian archive.

The Emar Online Database includes
references to the texts from Emar and its vicinity found in the
scholarly literature up to 2003, following the Emar bibliography by
Betina I. Faist, Josué-Javier Justel, and Juan-Pablo Vita. The texts
included in our database were those dug by the French excavations at
Tell Meskene during the early 70s, as well as those coming from illegal
diggings on the site, which made their way to the antiquity market and
were eventually bought by private collectors and institutions.
The database includes more than 12,000 records, which were
collected for over a period of two and a half years by Lorenzo
d’Alfonso, Tankred Kauf, Stephan Kämmer and Luts Kühne at the
University of Konstanz (contributions by authors beginning with A-L),
and by Yoram Cohen and Shimrit Salem of Tel Aviv University
(contributions by authors beginning with M-Z). The whole datebase
filling took place in Konstanz. The database was programmed by Jürgen
Glocker, (University of Konstanz), while the internet configuration has
been conceived by Francesco di Filippo (University of Napoli
"l'Orientale"). Adaption to the Hethitologieportal by Gerfrid G.W. Müller.
The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
