Der komplette Bestand der Bibliothek Kairo ist ab sofort im ZENON recherchierbar!And see also: Open Access Bibiography: Zenon at the DAI
Den Sammelschwerpunkt bildet die Ägyptologie mit ihren regionalen wie fachlichen Nachbarwissenschaften, ergänzt durch einen umfangreichen islamwissenschaftlichen Bestand sowie eine exquisite Kollektion an alter Reiseliteratur. Neben ca. 3.000 Sonderdrucken gehören hierzu auch Karten und Non-Book-Medien wie Mikrofiches, CD-ROMs etc. Den Grundstock bildet die Sammlung des Ägyptologen Ludwig Keimer (1892-1957), dessen Nachlass ebenfalls im Archiv des Instituts verwahrt wird.

New Data at Open Context: Chogha Mish Fauna
Chogha Mish Fauna
This project uses the publicly available dataset of over 30,000 animal bone specimens from excavations at Chogha Mish, Iran during the 1960s and 1970s.The specimens were identified by Jane Wheeler Pires-Ferreira in the 1960s and though she never analyzed the data or produced a report, her identifications were saved and later transferred to punch cards and then to Excel. This 'orphan' dataset was made available on the web in 2008 by Abbas Alizadeh (University of Chicago) at the time of his publication of Chogha Mish, Volume II.
The site of Chogha Mish spans the time period from Archaic through Elamite periods, with also later Achaemenid occupation. These phases subdived further into several subphases, and some of those chronological divisions are also represented in this dataset. Thus the timespan present begins at the mid-seventh millennium and continues into the third millennium B.C.E. In terms of cultural development in the region, these periods are key, spanning the later Neolithc (after the period of caprid and cattle domestication, but possibly during the eras in which pigs and horses were domesticated) through the development of truly settled life, cities, supra-regional trade and even the early empires or state societies of Mesopotamia and Iran...

E. Ghey, I. Leins (editors) - descriptions and chronology after M. H. Crawford
A catalogue of the Roman Republican Coins in the British Museum, with descriptions and chronology based on M.H. Crawford, Roman Republican Coinage (1974) - this catalogue brings together over 12,000 coins. It aims to provide an introduction to the coinage, the history of the Museum collection and an aid to the identification of coin types.
Entries are generated directly from our collection database and might change as Museum curators discover more about the objects. This format aims to provide a 'living' catalogue so its contents can be adapted to reflect current research.

Administrative Note
Overnight AWOL passed the benchmark of fifteen hundred subscribers by email, just a little more than a year after I deployed that function. In addition, a handful of subscribers get the feed in other ways. I'm gratified that such a large number of you find AWOL interesting enough to voluntarily add another piece of email to your busy queues.
Traffic on AWOL probably be light until the end of August while I focus my attention on some other things. In the meantime I invite you to amuse yourself by browsing through Bookplates of Scholars in Ancient Studies. If any of you have additions, corrections or comments on that, please do get in touch with me.
As always, comments - online or offline - about AWOL are welcome.
Administrative notes with user statistics have been posted in March 2012, November 2011, October 2011, July 2011, April 2011, January 2011, December 2010, October 2010, August 2010, July 2010, May 2010, and January 2010.
