Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary News

ePSD2 Public Beta 3 (built 2018-10-23)
Welcome to the new version of the electronic Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary, ePSD2. Here we provide listings of over 12,000 Sumerian words, phrases and names, occurring in almost 100,000 distinct forms a total of over 2.27 million times in the corpus of texts indexed for the Dictionary. The corpus covers, directly or indirectly, about 100,000 of the 134,000+ known Sumerian texts.
ePSD2 is organized as a glossary with a collection of subprojects providing the corpora. You can browse the subprojects and their individual glossaries, or you can work with the entire ePSD2 glossary and corpus by using the top-level ePSD2 project.
ePSD2 is a work in progress. See the News page for what changes between the releases, and see the What's Next? pagefor some of the things we are planning.
Here's a list of the things you can find here:

Pompeii Bibliography and Mapping Project

[First posted in AWOL in 2015, updated 23 October 2018]

Pompeii Bibliography and Mapping Project
http://digitalhumanities.umass.edu/pbmp/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Slider2-e1416753144757.jpg
The Pompeii Bibliography and Mapping Project is working to create a unique resource that binds two resources in a single, online location. The first is a database of citations and full-text repository relating to the ancient city of Pompeii.  The second is a Geographical Information System (GIS) map of that ancient city. The PBMP’s ultimate goal is online interface that will allow a user to navigate the bibliographic database and repository via the GIS map or, conversely, to illustrate places in the GIS map found in a search of the database or repository. These components are described in greater detail in the following sections.
Bibliographic Database – Based on the more than 18,000 references detailed in L. García y García’s landmark publication, Nova Bibliotheca Pompeiana (vols I-III), the bibliographic database is designed to be an exhaustive catalog of all works related to Pompeii. Although the Nova  Bibliotheca Pompeiana is the core of the database, works produced  after 2011 when volume III of the Nova Bibliotheca Pompeiana was published are being incorporated.

Geographical Information System (GIS) – The online GIS is a dynamic map of the places and objects in ancient Pompeii. Its most basic function is to allow a user to navigate the physical landscape of the ancient city. The current GIS is exceptionally robust: more than 15,000 objects and properties are contained in over 400 files. In its current iteration, ESRI’s ArcGIS Online platform is  used to display and deliver these a subset of these files. In addition to navigating via the online map, users are able to download the base files and perform more advanced analyses and/or modify their geometry based on new archaeological interpretations. We hope that in the future, scholars will upload those new files back to the PBMP for use (navigation or download by others) of those alternate interpretations.
Interface – Both components eventually will be accessed via a single user interface. Users will be able to begin their search via the GIS map or the bibliographic database, a choice that will determine the search environment. For example, as the user selects a place or places in the map, the right side of the interface will display all available information for that place, from simple citations to full-text documents. In this way, using the GIS interface can be imagined as moving the map over the top of a pyramid, to the apex of a unique and structured set of citations and references that lead down to a vast repository of articles, books, and images. Should the user prefer to explore the bibliographic database and full-text repository, the interface will adjust to provide more space for standard bibliographic and full-text search tools. When a search is conducted and records are selected, relevant locations appear highlighted in the reduced sized GIS map. In this way, the metaphorical topical landscapes within the scholarship on Pompeii can be not only expressed as a list, but also can be visualized and given physical structure in the map. The act of searching the subject repository thus creates an instant gazeteer of the results that can be used with the list of citations.

Open Access Journal: Anales de Arquelogía Cordobesa

Anales de Arquelogía Cordobesa
ISSN: 1130-9741
Encabezado de página
Anales de Arqueología Cordobesa (AAC) es una revista de periodicidad anual, publicada por el Grupo de Investigación Sísifo (PAIDI HUM-236) del Área de Arqueología de la Universidad de Córdoba, en colaboración con el servicio de publicaciones de Diputación Provincial de Córdoba. Surgida en 1990 como herramienta de apoyo y difusión para los resultados del proyecto de investigación que entonces desarrollábamos en la Subbética Cordobesa, con el tiempo AAC ha ido evolucionando, al tiempo que ganaba crédito entre la comunidad científica, hasta convertirse en lo que hoy es: una revista sólida, comprometida y de vocación internacional, que tiene como principal objetivo científico el servir como vehículo para dar a conocer de manera rigurosa los resultados de la investigación arqueológica española y extranjera (europea o no), propiciando la discusión y el debate, al tiempo que la puesta en común de problemas, teorías y novedades de interés general. Fiel a un concepto amplio de Arqueología, AAC acoge trabajos comprendidos desde la Prehistoria hasta nuestros días, primando aquéllos que aborden cuestiones generales o temas ajenos a la estricta realidad arqueológica cordobesa.

The Munich Open-access Cuneiform Corpus Initiative (MOCCI)

The Munich Open-access Cuneiform Corpus Initiative (MOCCI) 
NeriglissarCylinder
A key objective of the newly established Chair for the Ancient History of the Near and Middle East is the promotion of the digital humanities and easily accessible open-access data in order to widely disseminate, facilitate, and promote the active use and understanding of official inscriptions and archival texts of the Middle East in Antiquity, with an initial focus on those of ancient Mesopotamia (written in the cuneiform script and in the Akkadian and Sumerian languages), in academia and beyond. Headed by Prof. Dr. Karen Radner and Dr. Jamie Novotny, the MOCCI research staff seeks to create new and innovative ways for users to access the important and varied contents of numerous geo-referenced and linguistically-annotated editions of ancient records, primarily from the first millennium BC. Our aim is to make many of the rich primary sources of Assyria, Babylonia, and their contemporaries available online for free in a fully searchable and richly annotated (lemmatized) format.

Current work

At the moment, our work focuses on two principal digital text corpora:
(1) Official Inscriptions of the Middle East in Antiquity (OIMEA); and
(2) Archival Texts of the Middle East in Antiquity (ATMEA).
(1) The Official Inscriptions of the Middle East in Antiquity (OIMEA) project includes several sub-projects that are directly or indirectly managed by various members of our team, in particular Alexa Bartelmus and Jamie Novotny. In addition to Akkadian and Sumerian texts, OIMEA will include other corpora of official inscriptions written in other languages, including Aramaic, Luwian, Phoenician, Old Persian, and Urartian. The current OIMEA projects are:
(a) The Royal Inscriptions of Assyria online (RIAo);
(b) The Royal Inscriptions of Babylonia online (RIBo);
(c) The Inscriptions of Suhu online (Suhu);
(d) Electronic Corpus of Urartian Texts (eCUT); and
(e) Achaemenid Royal Inscriptions online (ARIo).
