feature september 4 2022 september 26 2022 viewsproject the world of writing writing on hadrian s wall i m doing a charity walk to celebrate the 1 900th anniversary of hadrian s wall so during september i ll be trying to walk 84 miles the length of the wall but without actually visiting which also nicely avoids treading on all that archaeology so what better excuse for a post on writing and literacy in this northern outpost of the roman world first a note on my charity walk and then on to the inscriptions this is quite special to me because i grew up visiting hadrian s wall frequently but haven t been back since 2011 how is that over ten years ago so i ve got my pedometer and i ve measured my steps so that i can tell how far i ve gotten each day and even if it s a challenge because of some ongoing medical issues and not getting much of a chance to go walking i m determined to keep going partly that s because i m doing it for a charity i really believe in classics for all who aim to bring teaching on the ancient world to a much wider proportion of schoolchildren than currently have access to it you can find out more by clicking below and if you feel inclined to donate i know it will be much appreciated by me and by all the amazing people working for classics for all read more and consider donating here continue reading writing on hadrian s wall august 31 2022 september 26 2022 viewsproject epigraphy in action inscriptions in depth multilingual syro anatolian iron age inscriptions my research as a crews project visiting fellow guest post by claudia posani hello i am claudia posani and i am very glad to write an article for the crews blog i am interested in hittitology with a particular focus on syro anatolian iron age history and on hieroglyphic luwian inscriptions i spent two months as a visiting fellow with the crews project during may and june 2022 i worked on multilingual inscriptions of the so called neo hittite states around 11 th 8 th centuries bc these inscriptions include bilingual and also trilingual texts written on different supports such as statues steles and orthostats they belong to the textual category of royal inscriptions namely they express the voice of kings or rulers who speak in first person in the texts narrating their enterprises the main feature of these documents consists of offering the same text written in two or more languages the texts i was dealing with were written in hieroglyphic luwian phoenician aramaic and assyrian these different languages luwian belonging to the indo european the other to the semitic language family were written adopting different writing systems consequently we can read on the same support the same text written in hieroglyphic script cuneiform characters and alphabetic signs multilingualism in syro anatolian states is certainly connected to the historical background of these polities which were strongly characterised by mutual contacts and cultural hybridity nevertheless one point captured my interest could textual multilingualism multiscriptalism be connected to royal propaganda and to the intention of presenting a specific image of the king

in action inscriptions in depth mind the gap abbreviations contractions and alphabetic symbolism guest post by brien garnand in the bronze age two incompatible alphabetic writing systems developed independently in canaan to the north ugarit s alphabet had an interface derived from syllabic cuneiform and to the south miners in the sinai used a hieroglyphic ideogram interface from the outset both of these regional scripts relied upon omission where readers had to fill in gaps by supplying missing vowels also from the outset both symbolic systems used individual graphemes to represent individual consonants both systems had their strengths similar to the communications format war of the 1980s between sony betamax and jvc vhs if that reference seems obscure you might compare these parallel but incompatible alphabetic technologies to the choice of blu ray versus hd dvd or chrome versus safari although both performed well only one format thrived the cuneiform version had the benefit of deriving from a common international cuneiform system using common clay scribal media and tools and having the advantage of disambiguating three specific vowel combinations with the consonant ˀalp ˀa ˀi ˀu this ugaritic version would play the part of betamax in our analogy a version with a bit more precision but perhaps not as accessible continue reading mind the gap abbreviations contractions and alphabetic symbolism guest post by brien garnand august 10 2022 september 26 2022 viewsproject epigraphy in action the world of writing a new approach to old writing using graphology and rti technology on linear b guest post by lavinia giorgi hi there i am lavinia giorgi a phd student in mycenaean philology at sapienza university of rome italy my phd research deals with the management and circulation of bronze in the mycenaean world focusing on the reconstruction of the bronze production chain mainly through the analysis of the linear b tablets but also taking into account the hittite and ugaritic texts and the el amarna letters and combining philological data with archaeological evidence in the meantime i am collaborating with the paito phaistos epigraphic project which aims to provide a new critical edition of the linear b tablets of knossos mentioning pa i to phaistos a place located in southern crete adopting the digital photography technologies of rti reflectance transformation imaging and 3d laser scanning the research i did in cambridge as a visiting fellow within the crews project is part of the paito phaistos epigraphic project because it focused on the word pa i ti ja the ethnic feminine adjective derived from pa i to the word is attested in 9 tablets covering several topics dating from different periods 15th 13th century bc and were written by different scribes in particular two of these tablets kn ap 639 and kn e 777 are kept at ashmolean museum so thanks to my stay in cambridge i was also able to directly access them and take rti photographs of both continue reading a new approach to old writing using graphology and rti technology on linear b guest post by lavinia giorgi february 20 2019 july 16 2019 viewsproject the world of writing reconstructing mycenaean scribes and archives in lego happy international lego classicism day to all our friends and colleagues in celebration this year i have been working on something special a re imagining of the cover art from john chadwick s the mycenaean world book in a 3d lego model far from a just for fun exercise this actually has some helpful practical applications in making us question what mycenaean scribes did at work and how linear b archives functioned continue reading reconstructing mycenaean scribes and archives in lego november 25 2018 july 16 2019 viewsproject epigraphy in action the world of writing what to write with styli for clay tablets in the ancient aegean and eastern mediterranean my research has taken a fun turn towards practical experiments lately as some of our twitter followers may have noticed it isn t just because i wanted to get away from the computer though i did it s because i have been working on a problem where direct evidence is scarce and or difficult to interpret and where experimentation is surprisingly elucidating my work on a replica cypro minoan tablet we know that during the bronze age a number of civilisations around the eastern mediterranean were using clay to write on from mesopotamian cuneiform to linear a and b in the aegean people found that this reusable natural resource provided a vital tool for making records but they didn t all use it in the same way and they didn t all use the same implements or methods to write on it instead traditions of writing display considerable regional differences whether or not there might have been any influences from one place to another continue reading what to write with styli for clay tablets in the ancient aegean and eastern mediterranean july 27 2018 july 16 2019 viewsproject epigraphy in action hands on with the amarna letters we ve talked a lot on this blog about how important it is to think about ancient writing in its physical capacity as part of an object not just as text this is why we re so keen on trying out ancient writing techniques for ourselves but it s not just making new things it s looking at real ancient tablets with an eye for their material characteristics and the practical techniques used to make them last week i was lucky enough to visit the british museum for a hands on study session with some of the most famous tablets of the near eastern bronze age the amarna letters continue reading hands on with the amarna letters contexts of and relations between early writing systems crews is a
