Sudan: Hungarian archaeology expedition in Nubia
Budapest, 20 Sept. (AKI) - A team of Hungarian archaeologists, headed by Egyptologist Gabor Lassanyi, will conduct excavations in Sudanese Nubia - an area on the river Nile conquered by ancient Egyptians - the Hungarian news agency MTI reports. Work will be conducted close to the Merowe Hamadab dam, a huge hydroelectricity project which will turn a 174-kilometre stretch of  the Nile into a reservoir, causing the local population to relocate. The dam will generate electricity with a capacity of 1,250 megawatts, tripling the country's electricity generation capacity.  The Nile valley has more than 2,000 archaeological sites and Hungary has in the past participated in expeditions, like the 1964 mission to Egypt to rescue an ancient palace threatened by the Aswan High Dam's construction.  Under a bilateral agreement the findings will be shared and the objects will be exhibited in Budapest's Museum of Fine Arts.

Journée ATALA : Traitement automatique des langues et langues anciennes
Samedi 21 mai 2005 
Organisation : Remo Mugnaioni, Serge Rosmorduc
Lieu: École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, 46, rue Barrault, 75013 Paris.
Apparu à la fin des années 50, tout d'abord dans une optique de traduction automatique, le traitement automatique du langage naturel (TAL) a assez tôt fait l'objet d'applications dans les langues anciennes, en particulier dans le domaine de l'analyse morphologique et pour la réalisation de corpus électroniques. Depuis une quinzaine d'années, avec la généralisation de l'outil informatique et d'internet, les applications du TAL au sens large du terme se multiplient dans les disciplines philologiques. La présente journée d'étude se propose de faire un tour d'horizon de ces pratiques.

Evidence for _S. cerevisiae_ Fermentation in Ancient Wine, in: Journal of Molecular Evolution

Duccio Cavalieri, Patrick E. McGovern, Daniel L. Hartl, Robert Mortimer, Mario Polsinelli

vol. 57, pp. S226-S232 (2003)
"_Saccharomyces cerevisiae_ is the principal yeast used in modern fermentation processes, including winemaking, breadmaking, and brewing. From residue present inside one of the earliest known wine jars from Egypt, we have extracted, amplified, and sequenced ribosomal DNA from _S. cerevisiae_. These results indicate that this organism was probably responsible for wine fermentation by at least 3150 B.C. This inference has major implications for the evolution of bread and beer yeasts, since it suggests that _S.  cerevisiae_ yeast, which occurs naturally on the surface bloom of grapes, was also used as an inoculum to ferment cereal products."

Adam Lowe, Jess Ahmon.
Factum Arte, Madrid. - Spanish and English version, 31 pp.
"The largest and most lavish of these tombs [in the Valley of the Kings] is the tomb of Seti I but this tomb has been closed since the 1980s due to structural problems. This book describes the first phase of a project that proposes to make this tomb accessible once more in the form of an exact replica ... This work has culminated in the reproduction of a sixteen square metre section of the burial chamber of the tomb."

"The purpose of the Comprehensive Development of the City of Luxor Project (CDCL) was to recommend strategies for Luxor that would address, in a coordinated manner:
(1) Preservation and protection of the unique antiquity settings, cultural resources, and heritage of the Luxor region, while expanding opportunities for tourist and visitor activities;
(2) Planned regional growth that would promote sustainable economic development, by preventing further urban sprawl and the deleterious effects of unplanned development on Luxor's cultural heritage and on the living conditions; and
(3) A regional development strategy that would create new economic opportunities for the citizens of the region ... ... the Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities and the UNDP in 1997 sponsored Abt Associates Inc. for the study of a 20-year Comprehensive Development Plan for the City of Luxor (CDCL)."

Thutmosis III: Family Man. The Ostracon, vol. 15, no. 2, pp. 3-7 (2004)

Aidan Dodson

"Tuthmosis III's image is essentially that of a warrior; if one thinks of him in a family context, it is probably to consider the nature of his relationship with his stepmother and aunt, Hatshepsut. However, the surviving data allows us to learn more about his immediate family than is known about that of many of his predecessors."

Scavi dell'Università di Cassino nel sito di Sanam Abu Dom (Sudan). Campagna 2004/05

Nel corso della campagna di scavi 2004-05 ci siamo proposti di mettere in luce il contesto urbano intorno all'edificio detto "Tesoro", nel quale avevamo lavorato negli scorsi anni. Tra i tanti resti affioranti in superficie sono state selezionate due aree, una delle quali (SA.C 400) è situata proprio a pochi metri dall' ingresso del "Tesoro" mentre l'altra (SA.K 300) è a circa 200 metri più ad ovest, su di un'altura del terreno. Le due aree erano caratterizzate da un'alta concentrazione di ceramica egiziana e di frammenti di avorio, visibili in superficie...

"Depuis ce sont sept tombeaux qui y ont été découverts : tout d'abord les pyramides de deux reines de Pépy Ier, les épouses royales Inenek/Inti et Noubounet, puis le temple funéraire de la reine-mère Ankhesenpépy II ; puis encore deux autres pyramides, l'une au nom d'une reine Méretitès II, épouse d'un roi nommé Néferkarê, l'autre à celui d'une reine Ankhesenpépy, épouse du roi PépyII. Enfin un tombeau pyramidal reste, pour l'instant, anonyme et un autre, celui du prince Horneterikhet, est encore à dégager."
