2022 Conference Co-Sponsored by Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art
October 2021 (Virtual) and 2022 (Washington, D.C.)
The Academic Research Institute in Iraq (TARII) is pleased to welcome you to the first TARII research conference. Join scholars and colleagues from across Iraq and internationally to hear about and discuss the various research being conducted in and on Iraq – from ancient to modern. Due to continued health concerns, the conference will now include a virtual component in October 2021 and a conference at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in 2022.
virtual program
Although the conference has been moved in consideration of the health and well-being of all attending, we still look forward to informative scholarly research presentations and discussions. Each session will include presentations from scholars followed by a discussion. Questions will be taken from the audience as well. Presentations in each session are not listed in the order in which they will be given. Abstracts and biographies, when available, can be accessed by clicking on the title of the session.

Sahidic is one of the most important Coptic literary dialects. A modern, critical edition of the Sahidic translation of the New Testament has long been missing from the academic field. A research project funded by the FWF Austrian Science Fund (P29315) has now made it possible to produce a critical edition of the Sahidic Gospel of John, based on 172 different preserved manuscripts, most of them fragments.

Textile-Dates: On-line database for 14C-dated textiles (from early times until the end of 1rst millennium AD)
The purpose of this homepage is ...
...twofold – and therefore it is actually a project, not "just" a database:
Overview and easy access
First of all it wants to give an overview on as well as easy access to reliably dated textiles from the 1st millennium BC and AD. This, actually, is a desideratum, since during the last decades, quite a number of textiles have been radiocarbon dated. However, the places of publication of these results frequently are rather hard to locate and only known to those who ordered or undertook the analyses. This is one of the foremost reasons why textiles – quite undeservingly – are still not being used as an historical source to the extent they could be.
The benefit for other textiles
Secondly: Sustained benefit of radiocarbon analysis is achieved when we can apply the datings also to related textiles bearing no such indicators as stratigraphy, dating inscriptions or radiocarbon analysis. These related textiles mostly are of a similar style, sometimes also showing analogies in technique or iconography.
Trend-setter or old fashioned?
However, what is needed most is to know whether the radiocarbon dated textile in question is typical of its kind, representing the average life span of its group, or whether– by pure coincidence – we have a precursor, an unusually early item, or – in contrast – an old fashioned, unusually late one.
The lonely highlight
In order to know for sure we need to have several (in strict statistical terms: ten!) samples safely dated. Collections, however, usually do not possess several textiles of one kind. Also, frequently there is the desire to have "highlights" being dated or unusual objects – which per se are difficult to compare with other textiles.
Look out for parallels
Therefore, it is essential to have parallels, i. e. several examples of one type dated, to improve progress in our ability to evaluate textiles historically and to make the most of the – still rather expensive – radiocarbon analyses. A type or group of textiles could consist of items which have in common an unusual iconographical feature or weaving structure (cf. "How to use – Parallels"). Consequently, it would be important and wise to first check parallels in other collections, get in touch with colleagues in charge and agree upon the analyses of related textiles, before the actual radiocarbon analysis is going to be undertaken.
Communicate!
We want to facilitate, encourage and promote this important communication. Therefore, in the database you will find a column called "Parallels", which indicates whether one or several parallels to a particular textile have already been radiocarbon dated. If you find out that, e. g., two items parallel to your textile in question have already been dated it would be most valuable if you added an analysis of your textile. In this case, please, let us know that your textile belongs to such a group.

El Comité de Redacción, con la colaboración de un amplio Consejo Asesor, formado por especialistas en los distintos campos de la Filología Clásica, considera el valor de cada uno de los originales entregados por los autores y decide sobre la conveniencia o no de su publicación (de lo que, en cada caso, informa al autor o autores), la sección en que se incluirá el artículo aceptado y la forma del mismo. Los volúmenes son facilitados gratuitamente a los autores así como, en régimen de intercambio científico, a los centros editores de publicaciones científicas del Estado y del extranjero que se avengan a ello, según criterios y mecanismos que establece el Servicio de Publicaciones, quien, asimismo, podrá comercializar la revista.
