Noviodunum. Data about the bone and antler artefacts
Annales d’Université Valahia Targoviste, Section d’Archéologie et d’Histoire,, 2013
"Noviodunum. Data about the bone and antler artefacts. The archaeological researches carried out during 2009-2012 period in various sectors of the Isaccea, “Fortress” site (Noviodunum), Tulcea County made possible the recovery of an assemblage comprising osseous materials artefacts. Their study marks the beginning of the systematic analysis of this type of pieces discovered at the site. The reduced number of artefacts that is studied with this occasion (13) and their dispersion in various places of the site do not allow us to formulate some detailed conclusions. This analysis aims at highlighting the recent discoveries and the primary data related to this in an extensive manner. The catalogue offers all these significant data regarding the artefacts. They are presented according to the current methodology of the domain (C. Beldiman 2007). The typological categories that form the assemblage includes: I Tools; III Adornments/Accessories; V Varia, Game pieces; Technical pieces (Wastes). The quantitative repartition of the types illustrates a predomination of adornments/accessories category (bone plates; bone button), followed by the one of tools (bone points; bone needles). Varia category comprises a bone dice and a red deer antler waste. The most of the pieces are dated from the Middle Ages (13th century); a piece was attributed to the Roman period (bone dice)."
Back to the old man's back: Reassessment of the anatomical determination of the vertebrae of the Neandertal individual of La Chapelle-aux-Saints
Gómez-Olivencia, A. 2013. Back to the old man's back: reassessment of the anatomical determination of the vertebrae of the Neandertal individual of La Chapelle-aux-Saints. Annales de Paléontologie 99, 43-65.
One hundred years ago, in this same journal, Boule described the nearly complete skeleton of the Neandertal from La Chapelle-aux-Saints in a series of articles which constituted a monograph on this individual. This find, and especially his vertebrae has played a central role in a long and as yet unresolved debate regarding the body posture of Neandertals. In this article, a full inventory and anatomical descriptions for all the vertebrae and the sacrum are provided for the first time. Additionally, new anatomical determinations for some of the elements are provided and justified. In light of these results, the pathological studies of this individual need to be re-evaluated and new metric studies are warranted.
The Vicchio Stele and Its Context
The recent discovery of an inscribed stele in the foundations of the Late Archaic temple at the sanctuary of Poggio Colla (Vicchio, FI) sheds new light on the nature of cult at the site. The stele is one of the longest Etruscan sacred texts and is from a secure archaeological context. It is also the earliest extant non-funerary sacred text (excluding simple votive inscriptions). The object, currently undergoing conservation, promises to provide new evidence for Etruscan ritual, literacy, and language. The final and twenty-first season of excavation at the Etruscan sanctuary of Poggio Colla by the Mugello Valley Archaeological Project (MVAP) focused on the architecture of the acropolis sanctuary, with the specific intent of clarifying the earliest phases of occupation. 1 Previous campaigns have identified a hilltop sanctuary in a dominant position at the junction of the Mugello basin and the Sieve River valley. 2 The sanctuary was surrounded by extensive settlement and production areas 3 that included a Hellenistic ceramic production area in the Podere Funghi 4 and production zones (for both ceramics and quarrying) of the Orientalizing Period on the Northwest Slope. Recent work by Perkins has also identified human presence at Poggio Colla from the Holocene through the Neo-lithic and Middle Bronze Age, suggesting that the site's importance as a cult center may predate the Etruscan period. 5
The anthropomorphic Stele at Monte dos Zebros (Idanha-a-Nova): Contextualization amongst other Diadem-Steles in the Iberian Peninsula
This paper describes an anthropomorphic stele found in 1996 at Monte dos Zebros (Idanha-a-Nova, Beira Interior Sul, Portugal). It is a small monolith, incomplete in the lower part and much eroded, particularly on the posterior surface, as a result of exposure to the elements. The monument may be related to a burial mound, probably not of the megalithic type and dating to the Bronze Age, like others in the region. The stele described here has its closest parallel in the stele of Crato, as regards both the shape of the base and the iconography represented. Thus, like that one, it is probably one of the earliest examples in a long continuous series of female steles (indicated by the presence of diadems and "necklaces" and, in a few cases, the female genital organs) produced between the Early Bronze Age and the Late Bronze Age. KEY WORDS: Female diadem-stele; Bronze Age; Monte dos Zebros; Region of Beira Interior; Portugal.
The Stela of Nefer-Hotep (CG 20192- JE 25547)
Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality, 2019
This article is a publication of a limestone stela of unknown provenance that was once preserved in the Egyptian museum at Al Tahrir square-Cairo (CG 20192-JE 25547). It is transferred later on to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM. No. 14252). It is a round-topped funerary stela and it belongs to a man called Nfr Htp. The upper part of the stela is adorned with a representation of the jackal god Anubis crouching upon his shrine and his title is written in front of him. Then three lines of inscriptions are depicted representing the offering formula for the deceased. The lower part of the stela is divided into two parts. On the left side a figure of Nfr Htp is shown, while the right side presents three columns of inscriptions depicting the names of the deceased and members of his family. The article tries to explore the identity of its owner and to know the date of the stela through its epigraphy and iconography. The article discusses also the title of "smsw hAy.t" held by the deceased and its function. Furthermore, the stela shows an early representation of the retrograde writing.

A work in progress
The Novilara Stele was found near Pesaro, Italy on the Adriatic coast. This script uses characters similar to the Osco-Umbrian scripts. The V is a V with a vertical dash above it. In contrast to other Etruscan texts this document uses the “o,” omega, whereas the “v” is used in other texts to indicate the “o.” The text is difficult to read, and changes will be made as the text is clarified. The S is rendered as “M,” there are two R’s written as D and P. The “E” is barely discernible from an “I” because of the three short bars. What appears to be the Greek theta “Θ“ appears to be a text separator, as seen at L26: LVTVII Te ALVISI… The and colon “:” are used as punctuation marks, as in other Etruscan texts.
This translation follows the results of the Zagreb Mummy (see "Work Notes on the Zagreb Mummy." ), Tavola Cortonensis (see "Work Notes on the Tavola Cortonensis" ) and Perugia Cippus scripts ( "Work Notes on the Perugia Cippus.") and "Work Notes on the Magliano Disk (PDF files), all of which are reconciled to one another. This latest change is based upon Etruscan GlossaryA.pdf developed from our Indo-European Table 1.
