[First posted in AWOL 17 August 2013, updates 2 November 2017]

Arabian Humanities. International Journal of Archaeology and Social Sciences in the Arabian Peninsula
ISSN électronique: 2308-6122
Arabian Humanities s’inscrit dans la continuité des Chroniques yéménites, revue de valorisation des travaux menés au Centre Français d’Archéologie et de Sciences sociales de Sanaa (CEFAS) entre 1993 et 2013. Tout en garantissant l’accès aux numéros des Chroniques yéménites, elle en élargit le champ de compétence à l’ensemble de la péninsule Arabique, et se tourne résolument vers l’international.

Arabian Humanities est une revue à comité de lecture, multilingue (articles édités et publiés en français, anglais et arabe), qui couvre, à un rythme biannuel, l’ensemble des domaines des sciences humaines allant de la préhistoire jusqu’aux sociétés actuelles.

Construit autour d’un dossier thématique, chaque numéro comprend également des varia et des comptes rendus de lecture sur les publications les plus récentes portant sur la péninsule Arabique et paraissant en langues européennes et arabe.
Arabian Humanities is the continuation of the earlier Chroniques yéménites journal, published by the French Center for Archaeology and Social Sciences in Sanaa (CEFAS) from 1993. It broadens its scope to the entire Arabian Peninsula, and is now resolutely oriented towards international research networks.

Arabian Humanities is a peer-reviewed journal. It is multilingual (articles published in French, English or Arabic, with abstracts in the two other languages), and freely available on internet.

Arabian Humanities intends, through biennial issues, to cover all areas of the humanities from prehistory to contemporary societies in the Arabian Peninsula. Constructed around a specific theme, each issue will also include independent articles and book reviews on the latest publications on the Arabian Peninsula appearing in European languages and Arabic.

Cuneiform Texts Mentioning Israelites, Judeans, and Related Population Groups (CTIJ)

Cuneiform Texts Mentioning Israelites, Judeans, and Related Population Groups (CTIJ)
This online database brings together the cuneiform documentation regarding Israelites, Judeans, and related population groups in ancient Israel and the Diaspora (Mesopotamia and Western Iran) during the Neo-Assyrian, Neo- and Late Babylonian, and Achaemenid Periods (744-330 BCE).
The reconstruction and analysis of this documentation is of outmost importance in understanding the impact the Assyrian and Babylonian deportations had on the community of exiles in Mesopotamia and Iran in what is considered an axial period in the formation of Jewish identity and the articulation of major religious and social tenets in early Judaism...

The Priesthood of Uruk in Late First Millennium BCE Babylonia

Our research project revolves around the southern Mesopotamian urban centre of Uruk (Biblical Erech, modern Warka). It is known as one of the earliest cities in history, also believed in ancient mythology to have been ruled over by the legendary hero Gilgameš. In the ‘long sixth century’ (ca. 620 - 484 BCE) between the ascent of the Neo-Babylonian kingdom after the fall of Assyria and a major disruption of social and economic life in Babylonia after the Babylonian rebellion against the Persian king Xerxes, this city and its main temple the Eanna, sanctuary of the goddess Ištar, were key players in the regional and inter-regional network of people and goods that flowed south from Babylon along the Euphrates. The project aims to reconstruct an important facet of the religious and social landscape of Babylonia through a study of the Urukean clergy as attested in the Eanna archive and in the private archives from Uruk...

Survey: Integrating digital humanities into the web of scholarship with SHARE

NEH: Integrating digital humanities into the web of scholarship with SHARE
Digital humanities scholarship is interdisciplinary, multimodal and distributed across a wide network of tools, repositories, and websites. By working closely with scholars and librarians in the DH community, the project team is investigating requirements for:
  - scholars to link all the components of their work
- librarians to have a means to accurately track usage of all the components of a DH project
- scholars and students to quickly find the relevant scholarship and primary sources they need
- new project leaders to quickly gain an understanding of all the existing content and tools at their disposal.
  This survey will help the project team prioritize those requirements in order to build prototypes for search and discovery using the SHARE aggregator.

Please note that the de-identified and anonymized results of this survey will be made openly available on the project website after the survey closes.

Numishare News: ANS web projects, IIIF deployed on new server

ANS web projects, IIIF deployed on new server
In other big news today with the consolidation of Nomisma and ANS digital projects on numismatics.org onto the same dedicated server (which is much more powerful than the separate cloud servers each domain previously ran on), our IIIF image server (Loris) and presentation APIs are now running in production. IIIF functionality extends beyond simple zoom functionality and manifests for single objects in our own collection (e.g., http://numismatics.org/collection/1944.100.39026), but an entirely new array of features, some of which have been described in previous posts:

  • There are now 160,000 photographed objects in the ANS collection, the high res photos of which are available through IIIF. Of these, more than 55,000 are Greek and Roman coins linked to types defined in OCRE, CRRO, and PELLA. Like our other partners that publish IIIF, the zoomable images are available on the coin type landing page, but the ANS adds tremendous coverage in these domains. See dozens of our coins linked to Price 4.
  • Manifests for coin types are generated dynamically by a combination of NUDS typological metadata + SPARQL query results for associated physical specimens with IIIF service metadata. The manifest is linked at the top of the page, along with a link to view the manifest. These sorts of manifests are the jumping-off point for annotating symbols and monograms on coins.
  • The ANS Archives support IIIF through TEI (digitized coin hoard notebooks), EAD, and MODS resources (photographs). Photographs linked to ancient places defined in Pleiades can be ingested into Pelagios. More here: http://eaditor.blogspot.com/2017/10/eaditor-now-supports-ead-and-mods-to.html. The Newell notebooks are so far the only digital resources featuring annotations, so far.
  • Rainer Simon is reindexing the ANS coins linked to ancient places via Nomisma->Pleiades concordances into Peripleo. These extend beyond the 55,000 Greco-Roman coins linked to OCRE, CRRO, and PELLA to include all ancient coins linked to Nomisma IDs for mints. See https://twitter.com/aboutgeo/status/925292397986279425. Of the 140,000 coins in MANTIS linked to Pleiades places, about 83,000 have been photographed/provide IIIF service metadata to Pelagios.https://twitter.com/aboutgeo/status/925292397986279425
