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.

MedAfriCarbon radiocarbon database and web app are outcomes of the MedAfrica Project —Archaeological deep history and dynamics of Mediterranean Africa, ca. 9600-700 BC. The dataset presented here includes a collection of 1584 calibrated archaeological 14C dates from 1587 samples collected from 368 sites located in Mediterranean Africa (plus some additional dates whose published information is incomplete). The majority of the dates are linked to cultural and environmental variables, notably the presence/absence of different domestic/wild species and specific material culture.

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.
Il dataset costituisce l'esito del progetto Censimento per la Cartografia Archeologica. Il dataset è consultabile all'interno del webgis del Geoportale per l'Archeologia.

This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 127 ceramic specimens from Italy, analyzed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at LBNL between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR. Elemental abundance data could not be located for 4 of these specimens. All descriptive and contextual data are drawn from the Berkeley archives, and may be incomplete.

The database lists the amount of obsidian artefacts uncovered at sites in southwest Asia and Anatolia made from material derived from various volcanic sources based on geochemical analysis and comparison with geological samples.
This dataset cointains the XML files of the inscriptions and the bibliography used in the critical edition: Dobias-Lalou, Catherine. Inscriptions of Greek Cyrenaica in collaboration with Alice Bencivenni, Hugues Berthelot, with help from Simona Antolini, Silvia Maria Marengo, and Emilio Rosamilia; Dobias-Lalou, Catherine. Greek Verse Inscriptions of Cyrenaica in collaboration with Alice Bencivenni, with help from Joyce M. Reynolds and Charlotte Roueché. Bologna: CRR-MM, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, 2017. ISBN 9788898010684, http://doi.org/10.6092/UNIBO/IGCYRGVCYR. The inscriptions are marked up according to the principles of EpiDoc. The Inscriptions of Greek Cyrenaica (IGCyr) and the Greek Verse Inscriptions of Cyrenaica (GVCyr) are two corpora, the first collecting all the inscriptions of Greek (VII-I centuries B.C.) Cyrenaica, the second gathering the Greek metrical texts of all periods (VI B.C.-VI A.D.). These new critical editions of inscriptions from Cyrenaica are part of the international project Inscriptions of Libya (InsLib). For the first time all the inscriptions known to us in March 2018, coming from this area of the ancient Mediterranean world, are assembled in a single online and open access publication.
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.
The study was undertaken in six medieval-like model glass samples UG (unaltered glass), MAK, MAR, MTA, MTB and MTN subjected to various environmental and atmospheric conditions in order to generate alteration layers of different characteristics. A potash-lime silicate glass, with composition similar to that of medieval glasses, was melted at 1400 °C during two hours, poured in a brass mould of rectangular cross section and annealed at 650 °C. The resulting glass ingot was cut in slices of around 10×10×2 mm3 and then polished using emery paper and an aqueous suspension of cerium oxide to obtain optical quality surfaces. Alteration of the glass slices was conducted by exposure to five different laboratory corrosion tests: SO2 corrosion for MAK sample, synthetic river water degradation for MAR, and degradation due to acid, basic and neutral medium for MTA, MTB and MTN, respectively. This dataset consists of images of the samples; Laser-induced Breakdown Spectrocopy (LIBS) spectra; Laser-induced Fluorescence (LIF) spectra; Optical Microscopy (OM); FT-Raman spectroscopy and Multi-Photon Excitation Fluorescence (MPEF) signals obtained with a Nonlinear optical microscopy (NLOM). This information allows characterizing the composition of both body glass and determining the thickness of the degradation layer. Images are presented in JPG. All spectra are presented in cvs format, in a single page.
I dati sono sia di tipo puntuale sia di tipo planimetrico e sono suddivisi su base cronologica in diversi layers informativi.
In modalità puntuale è possibile accedere alla scheda del sito, ottenere informazioni di tipo generico (indirizzo, orari di apertura), la datazione, la descrizione e accedere ai contenuti estesi come la descrizione tecnica, l’archivio documenti, foto e disegni relativi al sito.
In modalità planimetrica è possibile interrogare i singoli elementi costitutivi (murature, pavimenti, strade, condutture etc..) i quali sono evidenziati attraverso pattern grafici differenti, anche in funzione del loro status di conservazione (esistente/ipotizzato).
I dati possono essere scaricati dagli utenti, in base al loro livello di accesso al sistema in formati raster e vettoriali aperti (Json, KML, SHP, Geotiff, CSV, Geojson). L’utente ha la possibilità di stampare tavole tematiche relative ai layers di interesse che sono stati selezionati nella mappa, effettura misurazioni e ricerche.

BIAD is an constantly growing decentralized archaeological database. Its geographic scope is currently predominantly Europe, however it continues to expand beyond this, and will become global. BIAD is a relational MySQL database, and this wiki provides all documentation for its use and ongoing development. From the outset BIAD was conceived of as a relational database rather than a data repository. This means that, wherever possible, the different types of information contained within BIAD (e.g. published radiocarbon dates, mortuary data, isotopic data, faunal data, botanical data and material cultural data) are interlinked, allowing cross-referencing and deeper levels of data analysis. Since work on BIAD began in 2021, the COREX team and its collaborators have been very focused on building the database and linking the data contained within it. This is being done using SQL. Currently, BIAD can be accessed to input or retrieve data using command line queries, or any of a number of SQL graphical user interface clients (e.g. Sequel Pro). However, one of the end goals of BIAD is to create a web interface through which even non-experts can contribute and query with the ever-growing and ever more interconnected amounts of data that BIAD contains.

In Emilia-Romagna, il Segretariato Regionale e le Soprintendenze territorialmente competenti hanno sviluppato, a partire dal 2019, un Geodatabase dei siti oggetto di interventi e/o ritrovamenti archeologici (ArcheoDB) che viene aggiornato in tempo reale ed è pienamente interoperabile con il Geoportale Nazionale per l’Archeologia (GNA). Oggi questo strumento è adottato per la raccolta sistematica dei dati archeologici sul territorio regionale. Le Soprintendenze sono costantemente impegnate, con il proprio personale e le risorse dedicate al progetto, nel recupero e perfezionamento dei dati d’archivio, messi a disposizione di professionisti, imprese e ricercatori, ad esempio per la redazione delle Valutazioni Preventive dell’Impatto Archeologico.
