The Arma Veirana cave is located in the Liguria region of Italy. Excavation of the cave begun in 2015 and has unearthed Neanderthal to Early Mesolithic material. This project was led co-jointly by Dr. Jamie Hodgkins, Dr. Caley Orr, Dr. David Strait, Dr. Stefano Benazzi, Dr. Marco Peresani, Dr. Christopher E. Miller, Dr. Julien Riel-Salvatore, and Dr. Fabio Negrino. The files contained in this repository focus on the Early Mesolithic portion of the stratigraphy. The micro-CT scans have...
Etruscan Myth, Sacred History, and Legend
This volume is the first comprehensive account of Etruscan mythology, an elusive and difficult subject because no Etruscan textual narratives have survived from antiquity. In order to interpret the myths and make the Etruscans come alive for us today, Nancy Thomson de Grummond acts as an archaeological detective piecing together evidence from representations in art, from archaeological sites, and from indirect accounts of Etruscan lore in Greek and Roman texts. She starts with the purely...
Neutron Activation Analysis of Ceramics from Italy
This project pertains to the compositional analysis of ceramic materials from Italy. These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (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.
Quantifying Ancient Wealth Inequalities
This project contains datasets and other resources used in a volume to be published by the University of Arizona Press in 2018 entitled Ten Thousand Years of Inequality: The Archaeology of Wealth Differences, edited by TA Kohler and ME Smith. This volume emanates first from a symposium at the April 2016 Society for American Archaeology meetings entitled Measuring and Explaining Household Inequality in Prehistory: Inequality from the Bottom Up, also organized by Kohler and Smith. That was...

Unlocking the data behind the Chora of Metaponto publication series: "on-the-fly" solutions for sharing and archiving an evolving collection

To do so, however, adds extra burden on academic units with large legacy collections, publication backlogs, and dwindling budgets. Digital repositories provide a home for static collections, but are not ideal for dynamic collections generated and evolving throughout the research...
