Arsinoe 3D: Riscoperta di una città perduta dell'Egitto greco-romano

Edited by: Francesca Maltomini, and Sandro Parrinello

The volume illustrates the reconstruction of the excavation mission conducted by the «G. Vitelli» Papyrological Institute in the winter between 1964 and 1965 on the site of Arsinoe, ancient capital of the Fayyum district. Archival materials, archaeological finds and papyri shed light both on the fieldwork and architecture of the area investigated and on aspects of daily life in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt. Furthermore, the available documentation has been used to make ‘visitable’ again – through 3D models, digital storytelling and augmented reality – an archaeological site that has forever disappeared under the growth of contemporary urbanisation.

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.

AWOL is syndicated to Facebook and Twitter.
