Historical and Archaeological Atlas of Ancient Asia Minor Project
International symposium
Université de Franche-Comté/ Institut des Sciences et Techniques de l’Antiquité
Besançon (France)
November 26th and 27th, 2010
Call for papers (deadline: June 30th, 2010)
Since the nineteenth century, numerous and varied historical and archaeological works have been launched in Asia Minor – essentially in Turkey – by international teams, but the scientific data, which are complex and numerous too, have been published in total dispersion. The Anatolian area is a crossroad of several famous civilizations and of many populations and cultures (Hittites, Luwians, Phrygians, Lydians, Urartu kingdom for example) from Europe (Thracians, Celts, Greeks, Macedonians, Romans), from Asia (Persians, Mesopotamians) and from Africa (Egypt), often in connection with city-states of Mesopotamia and the Near-East, with ancient Iran, the Caucasian area, Egypt and Greece.
The meeting that will be held in Besançon (France) on November 26th and 27th, 2010 is open to all the persons who want to carry on the researches on ancient Asia Minor differently, with a collective and a positive spirit. Yet the Historical and Archaeological Atlas of Ancient Asia Minor and its launching will be discussed. After the most complete statement as possible on the recent researches (discoveries, prospections), the detailed discussions will deal with the scientific organization of the project, with the future research trails, and with all the actual and expected partnerships. Then the results of the meeting will be published as soon as possible.
The Department of History and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies on Roman Provinces at the University of Sassari (Sardinia, Italy), together with the Association Internationale d’Épigraphie Grecque et Latine and the Istituto Italiano per l’Africa e per l’Oriente are pleased to announce the XIX International Conference on “Roman Africa”. The conference will be held in Sassari on 16-19 of December 2010 and the main theme of the Conference will be: “Trasformazioni dei paesaggi del potere nell’Africa settentrionale fino alla fine del mondo antico. Scontri, integrazioni, transizioni e dinamiche insediative. Nuove prospettive dalla ricerca”. The conference will therefore focus on the change of power in the Roman provinces of North Africa throughout the ancient world.
The current programme has an epigraphy session scheduled for Sunday 19th of December 2010, 9.00-12.00 am. The following papers may be of particular interest to epigraphists:
People interested in this conference, and for more information, should contact the Department of History by the end of July 2010 (Dipartimento di Storia – Università degli Studi di Sassari (Viale Umberto n. 52 – I – 07100 SASSARI — fax 079 2065241; e-mail: africaromana@uniss.it).

The Fundación Uncastillo and UNED Tudela have announced the first colloquium on the archaeology and ancient history of Los Bañales: ‘Las Cupae Hispanas: Origen, Difusión, Uso, Tipologia’, which will be held from 16-18 April 2010 at Uncastillo (Zaragoza).
This colloquium investigates the phenomenon of the cupae, which are roughly semi-cylindrical or barrel-shaped tomb monuments found at various sites across the Iberian Peninsula from the first to the third centuries A.D. Many are inscribed with funerary texts in Latin. Scholars from many areas of the Peninsula as well as elsewhere in Europe are gathering for the three-day colloquium at Uncastillo to discuss a number of questions relating to these monuments: their origins, which remain a source of contention; their diffusion across the Peninsula; their practical and symbolic uses by members of different social groups; and their typology, which has thus far proved difficult to establish. This is the first conference to be devoted to this enigmatic type of funerary monument.
Further information and the conference programme can be found here:
This year one of the strands in the programme of the Digital Humanities Observatory Summer School is an EpiDoc training workshop, which may be of interest to epigraphists (please circulate this announcement widely, especially to students):
This course will introduce attendees to EpiDoc markup, an XML schema for epigraphic and papyrological editions. The workshop is targeted at Classical scholars: we shall assume knowledge of Greek and/or Latin and some experience in Classical history or adjacent disciplines, but no technical expertise is required. We shall introduce students to the use of EpiDoc markup to record the distinctions expressed by the Leiden Conventions and traditional critical editions, and some of the issues in translating between EpiDoc and the major epigraphic and papyrological databases. Students will also be given hands-on experience in the use of the “Son of SOL” editing tool, currently implemented by the Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri, which facilitates the creation of validating EpiDoc XML via a ‘tags-free’ interface.
Registration for the summer school costs €300 students / €400 staff.
Subsidized/free places are available for members of Irish universities,
and we hope that a few bursaries will also be available for EpiDoc
students. Please get in touch with <gabriel.bodard@kcl.ac.uk> if you want more information.
Epigraphic Saturday in Cambridge on 27 March
A day of lectures and shorter presentations in Room G.21 of the Classics Faculty Building, Sidgwick Avenue, Cambridge, starting (with coffee) at 10.00 am. (Lunch will be available in Newnham College opposite).
The first speaker will be Richard Gordon on “Putting the gods to work: the new prayers for justice in Latin from Moguntiacum / Mainz”.
Anyone who would like to offer a paper or make a short presentation is asked to get in touch with Joyce Reynolds (jmr38@cam.ac.uk with a copy please to djt17@cam.ac.uk) as soon as possible so a programme can be finalised. This will then be posted on the Faculty website. It would also be helpful but not essential to have some idea of numbers in advance (to djt17@cam.ac.uk).
The following lecture (in New York) has just been announced:
Rediscovering the inscriptions of Campa (Vietnam)
Speaker: Arlo Griffiths
Location: 2nd Floor Lecture Room
Institute for the Study of the Ancient World
15 E 84th St
New York, NY
Date: Monday, March 8 2010
Time: 6:00 p.m.The aim of this lecture is to inform the interested New York public on recent developments in the study of the written records of ancient ‘Indianized’ polities in Southeast Asia. We will take as example the epigraphic corpus of the ancient Campa kingdom(s), which lay in what is now central and southern Vietnam. The study of Campa epigraphy involves texts in Sanskrit and in the poorly known vernacular Old Cam language, which belongs to the Austronesian language family. This field of research once flourished in French colonial times, then all but died out after WW II, and has only recently been resuscitated from a coma that lasted for decades. Newly discovered inscriptions have started to be published again, and a census of Campa inscriptions was undertaken last September-October in museums and archaeological sites of Vietnam. The aim of the census was to up-date the general inventory of Campa inscriptions, whose last published installment dates to 1942, and to record essential data of previously known and newly discovered epigraphical documents. The presentation will discuss general aspects of Southeast Asian epigraphy, as well as specific aspects of the Campa corpus and the history of its study. Some new inscriptions, which throw interesting new light on the history of Campa and its place within the larger scale development of Southeast Asian history, will be selected for close inspection.
Arlo Griffiths holds a PhD in Sanskrit from Leiden University. After holding a position as lecturer in Indian Religions at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands), and holding the chair of Sanskrit at Leiden University, he joined the French School of Asian Studies (L’École française d’Extrême-Orient) in 2008 as Professor of Southeast Asian history. His main fields of interest are Hindu religious/ritual literature in Sanskrit, on the one hand, and inscriptions of Southeast Asia in Sanskrit and vernacular languages, on the other. His approach to the (ancient) history of Southeast Asia is primarily epigraphic, and he is currently involved in projects concerning the inscriptions of ancient Cambodia, ancient Indonesia, and Campa.

(In)formal epigraphy
This meeting examines formality and informality within epigraphic culture. What different types of formality and informality can we detect in epigraphic material and to what extent is this affected by the survival and recording of material? How does the use of space (where do we find epigraphic writing?), agency (who writes? who publishes?), or interaction with the inscriptions (who views them and why?) construct notions – or undermine them – about formality/informality? How do these ideas affect the reuse and reception of inscriptions, ancient and modern?
10.30-11.00: Coffee & registration
11.00-11.45: Dr Graham Oliver (University of Liverpool): Formality & informality in Attic inscriptions
11.45-12.30: Dr Jennifer Baird (Birkbeck College, London): Graffiti & inscriptions in Dura-Europos
