" The Maparabia Project: Integrating Archaeological, Geographic and Epigraphic Data

in a Digital Atlas, a Gazetteer and a Dictionary of Ancient Arabia "

Jérémie Schiettecatte, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, New York University

In-person Talk, Research Commons

Whoever has had the opportunity to consult maps of the ancient Near East has often noticed the absence of most of the Arabian Peninsula. The region is often relegated to purported desert emptiness. Yet, 50 years of research into the regional pre-Islamic history have shown otherwise. And the last decade was an incredible booster, fostered by the production of corpuses, the investigation of new territories, and its share of breakthroughs.

In other words, there is a considerable amount of data that addresses topical issues and it is now possible to take advantage of the existing corpuses to develop the tools for their analysis, synthesis, and to make them accessible to the greatest number. This is the purpose of the Maparabia project (ANR/CNRS/CNR; 2019-24), which encompasses a variety of fields of research: history, archaeology, epigraphy, palaeography, geomatics, and geography.

Based on archaeological data and large digital epigraphic corpuses (DASI, OCIANA), the project aimed to develop online research instruments, adhering to Open Science and FAIR principles: an atlas, a gazetteer and a dictionary of ancient Arabia.

Jérémie Schiettecatte will briefly show the results of this project and the collaborative research opportunities it opens up for the international scientific community. The resources produced by the project are not only meant to be accessible to all, but also to be re-usable, either through interoperable repositories or remote-access tools.

This is event is co-sponsored by the Middle East Studies Center and University Libraries. A catered lunch will be provided.

Digital Humanities Series
Intersecting humanistic inquiry and digital research practices, the digital humanities include a variety of approaches informed by and adapted to specific arts and humanities disciplines. This Digital Humanities Series, a collaboration with arts and humanities departments, exemplifies that variety and aims to enhance the understanding and application of digital humanities approaches to research across the arts and humanities disciplines. Each virtual event will be recorded and made available to registrants for 120 days. The series is co-sponsored by Research Commons and Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme (GAHDT).
