Survey of Mediterranean Survey Projects

Survey of Mediterranean Survey Projects
We are conducting a survey of Mediterranean Survey Projects, which has two main purposes:
  1. We intend to use the data gathered here as part of a review article on archaeological survey in the Mediterranean world for Journal of Archaeological Research. We see this as an excellent opportunity to compile and aggregate data about historical, recent, and ongoing survey projects, as gathered from the people who have participated in and run these projects. The goal is to collect basic information and compare research and fieldwork practices across the Mediterranean. We also want to be aware of, access, and cite as broad a range of survey work as possible. Your responses will help us do that.
  2. We also plan to integrate this data into an online database at Fieldwalker.org, which aims to provide a very simple and open spatial directory of current and past systematic survey projects across the Mediterranean, with project website and data links, enabling readers to find projects and connect quickly to data sources. Information about methods and some quantitative elements are designed to allow quick comparisons between projects, and complement the strengths of other online inventories of survey projects (like Fasti or MAGIS). This survey is a starting point. If you would like to provide more information about your project, there will be an opportunity to do that as well.
Please fill out the form linked below with information about your project. This will take about 10 minutes. Please fill out one form per project, but do not worry about duplication if another member of the team fills out a form for the same project (duplicates will be edited out).
Thank you for participating in this short survey, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

The Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams (DBBE)

[First posted in AWOL 21 October 2016, updated 23 September 2020]

The Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams (DBBE)
The Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams (DBBE) is an ongoing project that makes available both textual and contextual data of book epigrams - also known as “metrical paratexts” - from medieval Greek manuscripts dating up to the fifteenth century. We define book epigrams as poems in and on books: they have as subject the very manuscript in which they are found, elaborating on its production, contents and use.

We distinguish between two kinds of textual material, namely occurrences and types. Further explanation of our definitions and working principles is to be found on the Help page. A technical guide to the use of DBBE is to be found on the Search tips and tricks page.
