The capital city of the first dynasties of ancient Egypt. While the precise location of the ancient site is unclear, mainstream scholarly thought places it near ancient Abydos and modern Girga.
The present project aims to contribute to the analysis of the medieval notary in the Western Mediterranean societies and to the study of his activity, focusing on the urban area of the Crown of Aragon. A wide chronological frame is necessary to fully analyse the evolution of this institution from its beginnings in the 13th century up to its definitive establishment in the 15th century.
Comparative studies are promoted to carry out an in-depth analysis of the relations that are formed between the notary of the Crown of Aragon and the notary that we find in other regions of the area of influence of Roman law. Specifically, attention is focused on the territories of the Iberian and Italian Peninsula, and the islands of Majorca, Sardinia and Sicily.
The National Archaeological Institute with Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (NAIM-BAS) is the main scientific research center for Archaeology in Bulgaria. Its main activities are related to comprehensive research on the material and spiritual culture of the tribes and peoples that inhabited the present-day Bulgarian lands from remote prehistory (1 600 000 BC) until the 18th century AD. The institution is a national center and coordinator of all field research in the State and exercises scholarly and methodological control over it.
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.
The InscriptiFact Digital Image Library 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 target inscriptions are some of the earliest written records in the world from an array of international museums and libraries and field projects where inscriptions still remain in situ. Included are, for example, Dead Sea Scrolls; cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia and Canaan; papyri from Egypt; inscriptions on stone from Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus; Hebrew, Aramaic, Ammonite and Edomite inscriptions on a variety of hard media (e.g., clay sherds, copper, semi-precious stones, jar handles); and Egyptian scarabs. These ancient texts represent religious and historical documents that serve as a foundation and historical point of reference for Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the cultures out of which they emerged.
The Geography of Pliny the Elder compiles and maps the geographic data in Pliny's Natural History. The database, available here, includes some 6,500 unique entries, and this application maps all those entries that are locatable. Users can click on a feature or use the search function to find citations in Pliny and a link to a feature's associated Pleiades entry, where further data, much of it beyond the scope of Pliny, can be found.
The map is displayed using ESRI's free online viewer. The geography (terrain, coastlines, and river courses) are derived from tiles compiled by the Ancient World Mapping Center and currently hosted at the University of Iowa. These tiles represent scholarly consensus regarding the shape of the ancient world. Location data (i.e. geographic coordinates) are derived from Pleiades. The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University hosts an updated copy of the database along with other materials associated with Brian Turner and Richard Talbert's translation of Pliny's geographic books.
The application was developed by Grace Bell, Gabe Moss, Brian Turner, Richard J. A. Talbert, and the staff of the Ancient World Mapping Center. Special thanks to Tom Elliott, Henry Gruber, Ryan Horne, Phil McDaniel, and Gracie Riehm.
Progetto TESS, che prende le mosse dalla elaborazione di una scheda funzionale alla realizzazione di un censimento di ogni tipologia di rivestimento pavimentale attestata in Italia.
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).
Documentare le attività svolte per la tutela del patrimonio culturale colpito dal sisma, riflettere con la comunità scientifica, analizzare le criticità e i successi, è il fondamento per trasmettere, a chi nel futuro dovrà affrontare emergenze simili, procedure e interventi che limitino i danni a persone e cose e consentano aiuti immediati ed efficaci.
Il dataset costituisce l'ipotesi di ricostruzione virtuale del tempio tardo-repubblicano di Madonna della Cona, Teramo (TE). Il modello ricostruttivo è stato realizzato in Autodesk Revit 2024. Nel dataset è fornita una versione .ifc dello stesso.
I dati sono stati presentati dagli autori al VI Convegno di Deliciae Fictiles (17-19 / 10 / 2024).

The Villa Arianna is a structural complex located at the archaeological site Stabiae, Italy. The villa is renowned for its frescoes.
The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST), University of Arkansas conducted a high density survey of the Villa Arianna in 2010. The survey focused on the garden floor and the adjoining rooms. The original scan files and registered point cloud are available here.
Original scans (unedited) in e57 format (Note: Some are not included in the final registration), transformation matrices for each scan, Registered point cloud in ASCII format. NOTE: A portion of the scans for the House of the Charioteers (those with the Charioteer_ suffix) were aqcuired from a lift boom to provide the necessary vantage points to aqcuire data for some of the structures' tall walls. However, as a result of the windy conditions during the survey and the subsequent movement of the scanner/lift boom, there is movement evidenced in several of the scans. The easiest way to spot this movement is to look for an unnatural ripple or wave pattern in the dataset. This pattern is not always constant and can appear to varying degrees within and between scans. Also, due to insufficient computing power at the time the data were processed, not all of the scans acquired for the House of the Charioteers was registered to one another. The scans that were not included in the final registered dataset have also been archived. Prior to registration 64 of the scans were edited to remove extraneous data. The edited scans were imported into Polyworks IMAlign (and gridded) and then registered. The transformation matrices from the edited scans were exported and are provided here with the original, unedited scans. The final registered point cloud has also been provided as a single ASCII file.

Original scans (unedited, prior to registration) in e57 format, transformation matrices for each scan, Registered point cloud in ASCII. All scans were aqcuired for the Capitoline temple from a lift boom which provided the necessary vantage points to aqcuire data for most of the strcture's tall walls. However, as a result of the windy conditions during the survey and the subsequent movement of the scanner/lift boom, there is movement evidenced in most of the scans. The easiest way to spot this movement is to look for a ripple or wave pattern that extends how horizontally across the datset (a result of the scanner/left boom moving up-and-down). This pattern is not always consistent and can appear to varying degrees within and between sans. Prior to registration all scans were edited to remove extraneous data. The edited scans were imported into Polyworks IMAlign (and gridded) and then registered. The transformation matrices from the edited scans were exported and are provided here with the original, unedited scans.

Per permettere una prima conoscenza dei principali edifici presenti nel territorio di Forum Novum è stata realizzata una story map, una mappa georeferenziata con la storia delle ville romane meglio note, a partire proprio da quella di Cottanello. Sono state inserite anche alcune ville presenti nel territorio di Poggio Mirteto e di altri comuni limitrofi, perchè conservano delle strutture di notevole rilievo che possono essere visitate.
The archaeological site of Stancija Blek (Tar-Vabrega, Istria-Croatia) is located on the west coast of Istria. In antiquity, the site would have been located in the territory of Parentium. Archaeological investigation has documented more than 1,500 years of occupation, beginning perhaps with a Roman-period agricultural establishment (villa) that was subsequently followed by Late Antique and Medieval phases that include a so-called tower. Nearby are the remains of the church of Santa Croce.
This dataset contains a set of UAV orthophotos acquired from September 2020 to April 2023. For technical reasons the dataset was divided into 4 subsections, to be viewed together in GIS. The pictures were acquired to map soil marks. Every picture of the dataset cointains its metadata. The photos were acquired with a Mavic Air 2 and processed with the software Agisoft Metashape to generate the orthophotos. The georeferencing was made in ArcgisPro thanks to ground control points.
