New at ARTStor: Dura-Europos Documents

Collections relating to antiquity recently announced on the ARTstor blog 

Of Barsabbathas to Heliodoros; from a soldier at Antioch to a centurion at Dura; military and personal matters | Language: Greek | Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University
ARTstor Digital Library has collaborated with Yale University to share more than 300 images from the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library’s extraordinary Yale Papyrus Collection. These papyri were excavated at Dura-Europos, Syria, a Hellenistic, Parthian, and Roman city on the Euphrates River where extensive remains of civil and military archives were found in the 1930s. The collection includes private letters, official and religious documents, legal deeds and contracts, biblical texts, and literary works in Greek, Latin, Demotic, Coptic, and Arabic. These images join more than 18,000 images from the Yale University Art Gallery’s Dura-Europos and Gerasa Archives already in the ARTstor Digital Library, which include photographic documentation of the architectural remains and mosaics of these buildings, as well as glass vessels, pottery, and lamps, and plans and drawings from the Yale excavation.
View the Dura Europos and Gerasa Archives (Yale University): http://library.artstor.org/library/collection/yale_duragerasa. Or search the keywords: yale dura europos OR yale gerasa.

Archaeological Archives Forum Papers

Archaeological Archives Forum Papers
Archaeological Archives Forum, 2008 (updated 2011)
Introduction Archive photograph
The archive, whether finds, documentation or both, is a key product of archaeological investigation and it may be the only record of a historical site destroyed by development. However the field of archaeological archives is one beset by many challenges, some of which are proving difficult to overcome, such as a lack of storage facilities and good public access to the resource. The Archaeological Archives Forum was established in 2002 to link together in partnership all major parties with an interest in archaeological archives, in order that common policies and practice can be developed and applied, and to identify the courses of action necessary to further best practice in the field of archaeological archives, and to effect the means to achieve this action.

AERA: Ancient Egypt Research Associates
http://www.aeraweb.org/wp-content/themes/custom/images/logo.gif
Ancient Egypt Research Associates explores Egypt’s archaeological record seeking the origins of civilization. Our mission is to contribute insight and understanding to the present awareness of cultural evolution.

In recent years, we have explored the development of urbanism, labor organization, and the elementary structures of ancient daily life at the once-Lost City of the pyramid builders at Giza.

AERA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Dr. Mark Lehner and Matthew McCauley, with the assistance of Margaret Sears, in 1985 for the purpose of funding and facilitating the research of the Giza Plateau Mapping Project, which grew out of the Sphinx Project.

We take a multi-disciplinary view in analyzing the complex archaeological site of the Giza Plateau demands. To help our readers to gain a better understanding of the many specialist disciplines that we use in our study of ancient Egypt, we will post a variety of articles from our field and storeroom specialists on this page. We hope that this will give you a sense of the AERA philosophy of looking at Egyptian archaeology from all sides.
