L'Usage de la 3D en Archéologie
No full textInternational audienceThe use of 3D medeling in archaeology has developed front the straightforwad production of images for illustrative purposes into becoming an effective tool to aid scientific archaeological research Virtual Reality allows not only the restoration of ancient structures which have now disappeared but also permits the testing of new hypotheses as ti how these structures worked. A particular use wuthin Egyptology has been the non-invasive studies of mummies with this new technology. However, in view of the importance of architectural remains along the Nile valley, there can be little doubt that the most significant potential lies in the virtual restoration of those structures. Although 3D images allow the public to understand better these processes, we should never lose sight of the fact that their production was driven by underbying scientific goals. A 3D technological ^platform specifically for work with our architectural heritage has been created in Bordeaux, it is especially adapted for 3D scanning, modelling and maintaining the persistence of 3D digital data

A Label for Opening of the Mouth Implements from the Burial of Senneferi (TT99) and Remarks on the Ritual
Get PDFIn 2009, Nigel Strudwick published a paper drawing attention to a number of objects found in TT99 which seem to have been used in the Opening of the Mouth ritual. In 2015 an hieratic label from the same burial was identified as possibly belonging to a bag or box in which these items were kept. This paper presents a full edition of the label, and offers further comments on the context where the objects were found, and also indicates lines of research for further study of the Opening of the Mouth ritual.In 2009, Nigel Strudwick published a paper drawing attention to a number of objects found in TT99 which seem to have been used in the Opening of the Mouth ritual.

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
Ep. #181 - Nigel Clark
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic discuss a strange effort to police sugar packet play on this week’s podcast. Then (15:52) we are delighted to welcome Nigel Clark to the conversation. Nigel is Chair of Social Sustainability and Human Geography at Lancaster University (https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/about-us/people/nigel-clark ). He is the author of Inhuman Nature: Sociable Life on a Dynamic Planet (2011) and co-editor of Atlas: Geography, Architecture and Change in an Interdependent World (2012), Material Geographies (2008) and Extending Hospitality(2009). We start things off by talking about a new book he is working on called The Anthropocene and Societythat he is working on with Bron Szerszynski and what it means to rethink humanity through planetary strata, flows, and multiplicity. We turn from there to Australian feminism, phosphates, Aotearoa New Zealand as a space of settler grassland experiments, wealth, and geocide. Then we touch on fire and its excess, our brittle life on an earth’s surface caught between solar and geothermal vitalities, metamorphosis, the early connection between gunpowder and combustion engines and European geotrauma. A special birthday week shout-out to our very own eternal Cymene Howe :
Social theory and the sociological imagination: an interview with Nigel Dodd (1 of 2)
No full textPart I of our interview with Nigel Dodd, interviewed by Riad Azar. Nigel Dodd is Professor in the Sociology Department at the LSE. He obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1991 on the topic of Money in Social Theory, and lectured at the University of Liverpool before joining the LSE in 1995. Nigel’s main interests are in the sociology of money, economic sociology and classical and contemporary social thought. He is author of The Sociology of Money and Social Theory and Modernity (both published by Polity Press). His most recent book, The Social Life of Money, was published by Princeton University Press in September 2014
Ancient robbery and reuse between the late Eighteenth and the early Nineteenth Dynasty: a view from the tomb MIDAN.05 at Dra Abu el-Naga
No full textTomb robberies were common practice in ancient Egypt, as attested by textual sources and archaeological
evidence. In recent years, many studies pointed to a further factor that could disrupt the original burial
settings: the reuse of coffins and grave goods. Nigel Strudwick has provided important and stimulating thoughts on
both topics. The two elements — robberies and reuse — intertwined and interacted in different ways, depending on
the situation, making the overall picture not so immediately obvious. These aspects also raise a significant problem:
the religious attitude of the ancient Egyptians involved, especially in the case of reuse. Usually, reuse seems to
spread at the beginning of the Third Intermediate Period, along with a remarkable increase in tomb robberies.
Evidence from shaft P3, located in the courtyard of tomb MIDAN.05 at Dra Abu el-Naga (Theban necropolis),
whose archaeological investigation was completed in 2014 by the expedition of the University of Pisa, reveals that it
was already practiced in the late Eighteenth–early Nineteenth Dynasty, in the social context of the Theban elite and
in a period of generally widespread wealth and prosperity. This paper shall examine issues and problems raised by
such practice in the light of the findings and the archaeological context of shaft P3
