Archaeological 3D GIS provides archaeologists with a guide to explore and understand the unprecedented opportunities for collecting, visualising, and analysing archaeological datasets in three dimensions.

With platforms allowing archaeologists to link, query, and analyse in a virtual, georeferenced space information collected by different specialists, the book highlights how it is possible to re-think aspects of theory and practice which relate to GIS. It explores which questions can be addressed in such a new environment and how they are going to impact the way we interpret the past. By using material from several international case studies such as Pompeii, Çatalhöyük, as well as prehistoric and protohistoric sites in Southern Scandinavia, this book discusses the use of the third dimension in support of archaeological practice.

This book will be essential for researchers and scholars who focus on archaeology and spatial analysis, and is designed and structured to serve as a textbook for GIS and digital archaeology courses.

Pompeian Peristyle Gardens

This book examines how Pompeian peristyle gardens were utilized to represent the socioeconomic status of Roman homeowners, introducing fresh perspectives on how these spaces were designed, used, and perceived.

Pompeian Peristyle Gardens provides a novel understanding of how the domus was planned, utilized, and experienced through a critical examination of all Pompeian peristyles – not just by selecting a few well-known examples. This study critiques common scholarly assumptions of ancient domestic space, such as the top-down movement of ideas and the relationship between wealth and socio-political power, though these possibilities are not excluded. In addition, this book provides a welcome contribution to exploring the largely unexamined middle class, an integral part of ancient Roman society.

Pompeian Peristyle Gardens is of interest to students and scholars in art history, classics, archaeology, social history, and other related fields.

Open Access Journal: British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan (BMSAES)

[First posted in AWOL 8 October 2009. Updated 4 June 2022]

British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan (BMSAES)
ISSN: 2049-5021 (on-line)
The British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan (BMSAES) is a peer-reviewed, academic journal dedicated to presenting research on all aspects of ancient Egypt and Sudan and the representation of these cultures in modern times.
BMSAES is open-access: all articles in this journal can be viewed and downloaded free-of-charge.
This journal offers scholars the opportunity to include a large number of colour images, and other multimedia content, where appropriate to the article. Accepted papers will be published as soon as possible: there is no defined publication schedule or deadlines, as with print journals. The articles do not need to concern British Museum objects or projects.

Issue 26

Abstract
  • The transfer of wall paintings from their original locations has been practised since antiquity. Many art collections contain wall paintings which were historically detached and rebacked. Such transfer is now rarely undertaken, and only under very specific circumstances. This extensive article is specifically concerned with the transfer of ancient Egyptian wall painting and was encouraged by research into the historic transfer and conservation history of the wall painting from Tomb 100 at Hierakonpolis, now at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The painting was conserved and redisplayed in Gallery 43 as part of the EU funded project Transforming the Egyptian Museum Cairo. Prior to that phase extensive research into the necessary conservation work took place during the Covid-19 pandemic when work had to be halted and most team members were working from home. The research developed into a more general interest in the practice of the transfer of ancient Egyptian wall paintings, and the subsequent associated conservation interventions. The subject is relevant not only to the current treatment of wall paintings which were historically transferred but also in the rare present occasions where transfer may be the only option to rescue a painting. Available in English and Arabic (second half), by drawing attention to the highly interventive nature of this irreversible process, the complications faced both in past operations and in the current remedial conservation work required to re-back or stabilise earlier transfers, the article aims to inform future conservation work, planning and intervention. It may help avoiding problems by learning from the mistakes of the past while building on current practice. The research was made possible with the financial support of the European Union

  • . تُمارس أنشطة نقل الرسومات الجدارية من مواقعها الأصلية منذ العصور القديمة. ونتيجة لرواج أنشطة النقل السالفة تحتوي العديد من مجموعات الآثار على رسومات جدارية جرى نزعها في الماضي وأعيد تدعيمها. نادرًا ما تجرى أنشطة نقل الرسومات الجدارية في الوقت الراهن، وإن حدث ذلك فيكون فقط في ظل ظروف خاصة جدًا. تتناول هذه المقالة نقل الرسومات الجدارية المصرية القديمة على وجه التحديد. وتمثلت نقطة البداية في إجراء بحث في عملية النقل التي جرت قديمًا للرسم الجداري من المقبرة رقم 100 الواقعة بمدينة هيراكونبوليس (الكوم الأحمر بالقرب من مدينة إدفو حاليًا) والمعروض حاليًا بالمتحف المصري بالقاهرة. تم ترميم اللوحة وإعادة عرضها في صالة العرض 43 كجزء من مشروع تطوير المتحف المصري بالقاهرة. الممول من الاتحاد الأوروبي. قبل تلك المرحلة، تم إجراء بحث مكثف حول أعمال الحفاظ والترميم الضرورية للوحة الاثرية أثناء جائحة الكوفيد-19حيث كان معظم أعضاء الفريق يعملون من المنزل اثناء وقف الاعمال بالمتحف. لا يتعلق هذا الموضوع بالمعالجة الحالية للرسومات الجدارية التي نُقلت في الماضي فحسب، بل يتعلق أيضًا بالحالات الراهنة النادرة التي تكون فيها عملية النقل هي الخيار الوحيد لإنقاذ هذه الرسومات. يهدف هذا البحث إلى إثراء أعمال الحفظ والصيانة والتخطيط والتدخل المستقبلية من خلال لفت الانتباه إلى طبيعة هذه العملية التي لا رجعة فيها والتي تنطوي على تدخل واسع النطاق وإلى التعقيدات التي واجهتها عمليات النزع السابقة وأعمال الحفظ والصيانة العلاجية الحالية اللازمة لإعادة تدعيم وتثبيت الرسومات المنقولة في الماضي، وأيضًا من خلال تقديم أمثلة لعمليات نقل أحدث عهدًا. قد تسهم هذه المقالة في تجنب المشكلات وفي التعلم من أخطاء الماضي والاستفادة من التجربة الحالية. تم إجراء البحث بدعم مالي من الاتحاد الأوروبي.

Open Access Journal: Bristol Institute of Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition Annual Report

 [First posted in AWOL 12 January 2018, updated 3 June 2022]

 Bristol Institute of Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition Annual Report

The IGRCT promotes research into all aspects of Greco-Roman culture from antiquity to the present day, in the belief that classical culture remains a vital influence in the modern world. It embraces research from many fields, including history of all kinds, archaeology, literary studies, art history and philosophy, and has a particular focus on research that explores the links between ancient and modern.
The Institute was formed in 2004 through the merger of the Bristol Institute of Hellenic and Roman Studies, founded in 2000 by Robert Fowler, and the Bristol Centre for the Classical Tradition, founded by the late Thomas Wiedemann. It achieves its aims by hiring postdoctoral research fellows and supporting their research, inviting distinguished scholars to give seminars and lectures, holding symposia and conferences, cultivating international links with other scholars and organisations, and supporting the development of research projects in the faculty.
The work of the Institute would be impossible without the generous contributions of individual and corporate donors, and we would like to express our gratitude for their continued support.

Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO)


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are a group of more than 1,300 cultural heritage professionals – librarians, archivists, researchers, programmers – working together to identify and archive at-risk sites, digital content, and data in Ukrainian cultural heritage institutions while the country is under attack. We are using a combination of technologies to crawl and archive sites and content, including the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, the Browsertrix crawler. So far we have saved more than 40TB of scanned documents, artworks and many other digital materials from 4,500+ websites of Ukrainian museums, libraries and archives.

Visit our OpenCollective page to support us financially.

Beyond All Boundaries : Anatolia in the First Millennium BC

This book contains the proceedings of an international conference with a focus on Anatolia in the first millennium BC which took place on Monte Verità, Ascona in Switzerland, in 2018. The volume contains recent and thought-provoking research from diverse academic fields, bringing together historical, linguistic and archaeological lines of enquiry. The aim of the conference, to stimulate interdisciplinary debate and to close ever widening gaps between related fields, also motivates this volume. Thirty-one chapters in three languages address Anatolian matters “Beyond All Boundaries” and present an essential contribution to the study of historical developments not only in Anatolia, but also in the neighbouring regions and the whole Mediterranean area in the first millennium BC.
