engEncompasses the study, classification, and interpretation of artifacts and movable heritage, including archaeological finds, tools, artworks, and everyday objects. Includes typologies, chrono-typologies, and functional or morphological classifications.
VNM sta realizzando il primo database intelligente e multimediale di tutti i reperti archeologici provenienti dall’area di Vulci, ora disseminati nei musei e nelle collezioni italiane e mondiali.
Vulci (fl. 10th cent. BCE- 5th cent. CE) was one of the largest and most important cities of ancient Etruria and one of the biggest pre-Roman cities in the 1st millennium BCE in the Italian peninsula. The investigation of Vulci presents a rare opportunity to study city-plans and urban infrastructures and for interpreting the organization of public spaces across time and cultures. The emergence of Vulci as an Etruscan settlement and its transformation into a Roman city involved important political, religious, and social changes, identifiable by comparative analyses between architectural spaces, trade and materials’ production. Duke’s excavations in the urban core identified over 6000 classifiable objects in different categories (pottery, coins, tools, architectural elements, metal, and wall decorations) which will contribute significantly to the study of urban archaeology in the Italian peninsula. Anticipating the power of 3D data and virtual reality for preserving, studying and communicating information about this unique site, the excavations at Vulci are entirely documented in 3D thanks to a combined use of 3D photogrammetry, georadars, multispectral drones and laser scanners. Vulci team has made use of VR tools (Unity 3D, Oculus Quest, HTC Vive) to create example immersive experiences. This project was generously supported by the following sponsors: Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio per l'area metropolitana di Roma, la provincia di Viterbo e l'Etruria meridionale; the Etruscan Foundation, and The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
Un primo catalogo digitale delle caratteristiche geochimiche e petrografiche dei materiali lapidei utilizzati per la costruzione a Pisa tra età Romana e Medioevo.
La necessità di creare un cosiddetto portale web nasce dal voler consentire la fruizione on-line dei dati presenti nel Database TESS ad un’utenza allargata – e teoricamente illimitata – che non abbia la necessità, dal punto di vista di dotazione software e di autorizzazioni di accesso, di interfacciarsi al sistema tramite il protocollo di comunicazione “fmnet” (che implica l’installazione sulla postazione in uso del software proprietario FileMaker), ma semplicemente tramite un comune browser per la navigazione internet (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) installato in modo nativo o scaricabile gratuitamente su postazioni eterogenee (desktop/portable computer, tablet e smartphone).
Dataset of the databank dedicated to the Etruscan and Roman bronzes from the Faina collection in Orvieto. The new version of the website, created with the Drupal CMS (2022), is published at http://bronzifaina.ispc.cnr.it/.
La banca dati intende fungere da sussidio informatico per le ricerche sulle produzioni bronzistiche di età etrusca, in particolare di quei centri e di quei territori (soprattutto Chiusi, Orvieto, Perugia) da dove provengono gli oggetti che fanno parte della raccolta.
L’obiettivo della schedatura dei notai nell'ambito del progetto NotMed (EL NOTARIAT PÚBLIC EN LA MEDITERRÀNIA OCCIDENTAL: ESCRIPTURA, INSTITUCIONS, SOCIETAT I ECONOMIA (SEGLES XIII-XV) - Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación. PID2019-105072GB-I00 - https://www.ub.edu/notmed/) era quello di conoscere il numero di volumi in legatura (protocolli notarili, bastardelli, etc.) esistenti nell’Italia meridionale e insulare per i secoli medievali e di creare una base per ulteriori ricerche.
Hanno contribuito: Giuliano Capriolo, Andrea Casalboni, Gemma Teresa Colesanti, Martina Del Popolo, Corinna Drago, Alessandro Gaudiero, Antonio Macchione, Eleni Sakellariou, Daniela Santoro, Vera Isabell Schwarz-Ricci, Chiara Sciarroni, Alessandro Soddu, Maria Elisabetta Vendemia, Elisa Turrisi e Maurizio Vesco.
NB.
Nella dicitura “volumi in legatura” rientrano sia veri e proprio protocolli notarili sia bastardelli sia fascicoli rilegati. Il limite cronologico è l’anno 1500, tuttavia nei casi di notai che iniziano a rogare nella seconda metà del ‘400 sono confluiti nel censimento anche i registri dei primi decenni del ‘500. Per ogni notaio è stata compilata una singola scheda, tranne in due casi nei quali i protocolli si conservano in due istituzioni diverse. I volumi miscellanei sono stati conteggiati e schedati con una nota specifica inserita nel campo commento. È da tener presente che la base di rilevamento è eterogenea: alcune indicazioni si basano sull’esame autoptico del materiale, altre sulle indicazioni dell’inventario on line dell’archivio o su lavori pubblicati in precedenza. Per questo motivo si consiglia di consultare sempre le osservazioni del compilatore nel campo commento e le indicazioni sulla fonte dell’informazione.
The InscriptiFact Collection is designed to allow access via the Internet to high-resolution images of ancient inscriptions and artifacts, primarily from the Near Eastern and Mediterranean Worlds. The targeted inscriptions constitute some of the world’s earliest written records, which are mostly housed in a number of international museums and libraries, as well as field projects where inscriptions still remain in situ. Included, for example, are, selected Dead Sea Scrolls; cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, Persia, Canaan and Egypt; early Jewish papyri from Egypt; lapidary inscriptions, primarily from Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus; inscriptions on a variety of hard media (e.g., ostraca, copper, semi-precious stones, jar handles) mostly written in early Canaanite, Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ammonite and Edomite; and much more. These ancient texts are foundational documents that serve as a point of reference for Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the cultures out of which they emerged.
The name "InscriptiFact" is intended to convey the concept of a scholarly archive based on "facts" about "inscriptions" and "artifacts." West Semitic Research Project (WSRP) under the auspices of the University of Southern California (USC) is broadly acknowledged as a leader in the application of photographic and digital technologies to capture and analyze data of ancient texts. The West Semitic Research image archive now contains approximately 1,500,000 images.
Pompeii graffiti offers a glimpse of the real people of Pompeii. Yet, there has been very few databases made of this resource and the ones that have been made are not digital, inaccessible or incomplete. My project is to make a database of graffiti from Pompeii that is the most complete and with known placement is known. For this I will use Victor Hunink’s Oh Happy Place: Pompeii in 1000 graffiti and also my personal survey of graffiti from Pompeii. The database is made within excel, as it is the most user friendly program, can be converted to numerous statistical programs and can be limited to user preferences based on categories, placement and etc., organized by columns with useful headings to organize the placement and other useful information. In order to demonstrate the utility of Pompeii graffiti I will run various statistical tests based on the qualitative graffiti data. In reviewing the database, I separated the graffiti into the categories romantic, sexual, reference, violence, civic, greeting and religious based upon modern graffiti, thus making it more easily interpreted by younger generations. I found various authors demonstrating underrepresented groups in Roman history such as women, children and foreigners. I was able to discern literacy levels of the populus on a scale of 1 to 3, to show the diversity of literacy in Pompeii. Finally, I was able to find correlations of graffiti either spatially, using the known placement of the graffiti, and socio-economically, using Miko Flohr’s database of housing structures and popularity of roadways for public structures. My database will be shared publicly, with the goal of showing the utility of graffiti as a source for examining the Romans, sparking interest in younger generations by relating ancient graffiti to modern graffiti and creating accessibility to Pompeii graffiti as a resource.
Nell'estate del 2015 è stato effettuato il censimento di tutti i dipinti murali ancora conservati in situ sulle pareti degli ambienti della villa. Per ciascun ambiente è stata realizzata una documentazione fotografica generale e di dettaglio. Parallelamente, si è proceduto al rilevamento, in via preliminare mediante il solo esame visivo, delle alterazioni presenti sulle superfici dipinte, classificandone tipologia e distribuzione. Per il censimento degli ambienti e dei relativi frammenti di dipinto murale, unitamente alla valutazione delle forme di alterazione, è stata utilizzata una scheda speditiva di censimento conservativo.
Initié en 2012, le programme ACoR a pour objectif de développer un atlas des techniques de la construction romaine, sur un large champ géographique et chronologique. Il s'est concrétisé dans la réalisation d'une base de données, consultable sur ce site web, qui établit un corpus de techniques, identifiées, classées et localisées dans un territoire, un site et un édifice.
À l'échelle de l'édifice, la caractérisation morphologique et technique des éléments de construction obéit à la logique des étapes d'un chantier, en distinguant les différentes interventions de construction : préparation du terrain, fondations, élévations, ouvertures, couvrements et couvertures, sols, structures de service et arcs (ces derniers pouvant être étudiés de façon autonome, ou en association avec une autre intervention). S'y ajoute une analyse spécifique des traces de chantier, communes à la plupart des interventions.
The ArCOA digital archive consists of a backend using a relational database for persistence, a browser-based interface for the synchronous recording and manipulation of data by a distributed workgroup, and a REST API service to expose interoperable data that will be queried by the project’s portal. The entire system is based on open-source technology. The conceptual model of the relational database consists of nine entities for the description of the objects, the collections to which they belong, the collectors who formed them, the institutions where they are currently hosted, the sites of origin of the pieces, the archival documents describing them, their images and 3D models, and the related bibliography.
The ArchAIDE Desktop Web site is the place where part the results of the ArchAIDE Project are made available to the internet community. In particular, here you may find: the knowledge-base (catalogues of pottery forms, decorations and stamps) used as reference in the pottery classification, the image recognition tool to classify decorations on pottery sherds, the shape recognition tool to identify the form to which a pottery sherd belongs to, the stamp search tool to identify stamps and, last but not least, the data visualisation tools to analyse origin-occurrence information collected by the project.
