A new resource for sharing maps and spatial data is now available through this web page of the Corinth Excavations. While the area of emphasis is the Corinthia, coverage for much of the data extends to the whole of Greece. A variety of nine color and black and white, high resolution TIFF images are offered for download. These are intended to be finished by marking and labeling with an image editor like Photoshop. Users of GIS software can download shapefiles or follow a collection of links to websites that are dedicated to sharing free spatial data. Samples from screen shots of GIS software are below.

New Book from the Oriental Institute: Digital Epigraphy
Digital Epigraphy

Download eBook Terms of Use
This long-awaited manual represents an extraordinary new chapter in the history of the Epigraphic Survey, Oriental Institute, University of Chicago. In the manual, a century of tradition joins with modern technological innovation for an exciting glimpse into the future of our epigraphic recording. This manual, available in PDF format and also in an innovative eBook format, is another tool in an arsenal of groundbreaking new tools now at our disposal.
During the past several decades the Epigraphic Survey has refined its conventions and recording methodologies to fit with the widely divergent nature of the inscribed surfaces we record and the changing conditions in Egypt that are resulting in the accelerating decay of those inscribed surfaces. For the past two years we have been experimenting with new digital tools, software, and equipment that have allowed us to streamline our recording process while still achieving the highest degree of accuracy, the bottom line of any scientific documentation. It has always been our aim to share these conventions and methodologies with our friends and colleagues, and it is our great pleasure to present the initial results here now. The digital formats in which this manual is made available are particularly appropriate and will be updated and changed regularly, since the manual will always be a work in progress. The possibilities are limitless.
What you have before you represents the past, the present, and the future of the Epigraphic Survey’s epigraphic recording processes for your reference and use. Our convention sheets are now downloadable for easier access. The tools that we describe and utilize — old and new — are available for everyone to use. We welcome and encourage your questions and feedback, since we will always be refining and improving these processes.

Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is devoted to the rapid worldwide dissemination of social science research and is composed of a number of specialized research networks in each of the social sciences. We have received several excellence awards for our web site.SSRN Classics currently has 778 papers online organized in the following eJournals:
Each of SSRN's networks encourages the early distribution of research results by distributing Submitted abstracts and by soliciting abstracts of top quality research papers around the world. We now have hundreds of journals, publishers, and institutions in Partners in Publishing that provide working papers for distribution through SSRN's eLibrary and abstracts for publication in SSRN's electronic journals.
The SSRN eLibrary consists of two parts: an Abstract Database containing abstracts on over 563,000 scholarly working papers and forthcoming papers and an Electronic Paper Collection currently containing over 465,300 downloadable full text documents in Adobe Acrobat pdf format. The eLibrary also includes the research papers of a number of Fee Based Partner Publications.

Copular Clauses and Focus Marking in Sumerian
Zólyomi, Gábor
Publication Date: September 2014
ISBN: 978-3-11-040170-7
DE GRUYTER OPEN
Aims and Scope
This work is the first comprehensive description of Sumerian constructions involving a copula. Using around 400 fully glossed examples, it gives a thorough analysis of all uses of the copula, which is one of the least understood and most frequently misinterpreted and consequently mistranslated morphemes in Sumerian.
It starts with a concise introduction into the grammatical structure of Sumerian, followed by a study that is accessible to both linguists and sumerologists, as it applies the terminology of modern descriptive linguistics. It provides the oldest known and documented example of the path of grammaticalization that leads from a copula to a focus marker. It gives the description of Sumerian copular paratactic relative clauses, which make use of an otherwise only scarcely attested relativization strategy. At the end of the book, the reader will have a clear picture about the morphological and syntactic devices used to mark identificational, polarity and sentence focus in Sumerian, one of the oldest documented languages in the world.

L’archéologie est une discipline scientifique, complexe mais de plus en plus précise, dontl’objectif essentiel est de mieux connaître l’Homme et la société, depuis la Préhistoirejusqu’à l’époque moderne, grâce à l’étude des éléments matériels mis au jour (édifices, infrastructures,poteries, outils, armes, ossements...). L’archéologue, dans une approche diachronique,trouve l’essentiel de sa documentation grâce à des travaux de terrain (prospections, sondages,fouilles, voire études de collections). Les résultats permettent de mettre en lumière une culture ouune civilisation, une ou des population(s), les étapes d’un passé méconnu.
L’Histoire de l’Asie centrale est complexe et jalonnée d’épisodes mouvementés. La grande diversitégéographique et orographique en a fait un lieu privilégié où se sont développés de grandes civilisationset de puissants empires, dont il nous reste encore beaucoup à découvrir : la civilisation del’Oxus, les empires des Achéménides, d’Alexandre le Grand, des Kouchans, des Sassanides, des Turcs,des Arabes, des Mongols...
Il y a douze ans, le numéro IX des Cahiers d’Asie centrale publiait les résultats des découvertesarchéologiques françaises réalisées dans cette région. Cette abondante moisson prenait en compteun immense travail initié par Jean-Claude Gardin en 1979. Aujourd’hui, ce nouveau numéro doubledes Cahiers amplifie notre connaissance de l’Asie centrale grâce aux trente deux articles pluridisciplinairesassociant les sciences humaines et sociales aux sciences de la terre ; et il nous faitdécouvrir les résultats des recherches archéologiques menées depuis plus de trois décennies,mettant en exergue le travail scientifique et la méthodologie, l’excellente coopération entre leschercheurs centrasiatiques et français, le souci de formation et de valorisation. Et nous espéronsqu’au fil des pages l’archéologue, l’historien ou les lecteurs avertis trouvent dans cet ouvrageles éléments d’une histoire pluridisciplinaire, constamment enrichie.
