IoA Annual Conference: Forming Material Egypt

The Institute of Archaeology Annual Conference will take place this year on 20-21 May on the topic of ‘Forming Material Egypt’ with a gathering of Egyptian and international experts.
Archaeological finds from Egypt have been dispersed worldwide on a massive scale both through documented excavation and through gifts and purchases, by museums, archaeologists and others. The distribution of material has played a major role in forming contemporary attitudes to the Egyptian past.

Sasanika Newsletter
Sasanika’s Mission
One of the most remarkable civilizations of the first millennium CE was that of the Sasanian Empire. Emanating from southern Iran’s Persis (Fars) region in the third century AD, the Sasanian domain eventually encompassed not only modern day Iran and Iraq, but also the greater parts of Central Asia and the Near East, including at times the regions corresponding to present-day Israel, Turkey, and Egypt.
This geographically diverse empire brought together a striking array of ethnicities and religious practices. Arameans, Arabs, Armenians, Persians, Romans, Goths as well as a host of other peoples all lived under the Sasanian rule. It is the aim of Sasanika: the Late Antique Near East Project to bring to light the importance of the Sasanian civilization in the context of world and late antique history.

Dacia: Revue d’archéologie et d’histoire ancienne
In 1924 under the signature of Vasile Pârvan as director and fonder was issued the first number of the “Dacia – Recherches et découvertes archéologiques en Roumanie”, the first journal with articles about ancient history and archaeology, written in foreign languages. The Vasile Pârvan’s dream was to make in this journal a forum for archaeological debates and for presentations of the newest archaeological discoveries all over Romania. From the beginning the use of the foreign languages and the quality standards imposed to the published materials have turned the name of DACIA in a brand well known everywhere in the archaeological circles. Unfortunately the evolution of the journal is under the sign of many interruptions. The old series founded by Vasile Pârvan in 1924 ends with the XI-XII issues published in 1948. The journal renewed his existence in 1957 at the celebration of 65 years from the birth of Vasile Pârvan with a new series. Since then till now were published 49 issues from this Dacia New Series.
Every single number of the new series has in wide lines the same structure as the old series, containing studies, research reports, annual archaeological chronicles, abstracts, book reviews and book presentations. Through the year great personalities of the Romanian archaeology such as: Vasile Pârvan, Ioan Andrieşescu, Ion Nestor, Vladimir Dumitrescu, Martin Roska, Dorin Popescu, Gh.I. Brătianu, Vasile Christescu, Theophile Sauciuc-Săveanu, Gh. Ştefan, P. Nicorescu, C.S. Nicolăescu-Plopşor, Eugen Comşa, D.M. Pippidi, Radu Vulpe, Grigore Florescu, Dumitru Berciu, Constantin Daicoviciu, Ion Barnea, K. Horedt, I.I. Russu, Bucur Mitrea and much more then thishave signed the articles.
About the project of bringing up-to-date the index of DACIA and also about the digitalisation of the first series of the journal (1924-1948)
Starting from June 2006 began the improving process of the Dacia’s index. The web page was created in 2001, when was put on-line the index made in a collaboration between the Institute of Archaeology from Bucharest and cIMeC – The Institute for Cultural Memory. The database contained all the titles belonging to the issues from 1924 to 1998. Now, after the improving process the database contains 1333 recordings from 1924 till 2005. The search can be made by author, year or by title. We intend to add in the near future the possibility of a more refined search by epoch, locality and key words.
We began also scanning and image processing for the first series of Dacia containing twelve numbers which we published it entirely for free on our web site. In this way this rare numbers of the journal will be accessible, a useful tool for the students and specialists in the field of archaeology.
We hope that our project will be successful and well received by the students, specialists and also other categories of public for us to keep going on making the largest archaeological library on-line from Romania.

Animation by Jakub Zakrzewski and Stanisław Rzeźnik.
In 2012, precise location of medieval town Nieszawa was determined. And that’s without sinking a shovel into the ground, with the use of non-invasive methods. Now, a professional, 3D reconstruction of the settlement has been prepared for everyone to see on YouTube.
Animation authors are Jakub Zakrzewski and Stanisław Rzeźnik, who created a preliminary reconstruction of the medieval Nieszawa in collaboration with Piotrand Wroniecki and Michał Pisz, and with archaeological and historical consultation with Lidia Grzeszkiewicz-Kotlewska and Leszek Kotlewski, dr. Jerzy Sikora and Dariusz Osiński.
Today’s Nieszawa is a small town situated on the west bank of the Vistula River, 30 km upstream from Toruń. Its history dates back to the thirteenth century, when it was given to the Teutonic Order by Konrad I Mazowiecki in 1228 (today small town Mała Nieszawka). Over the next 200 years, the town location changed twice. After the defeat at Grunwald, the Teutonic Knights were forced to tear down the Commandery and the castle. However, already in 1424 Władyslaw Jagiello founded Mała Nieszawka near Toruń. After 1460, the town was moved several miles up the Vistula, where it remains today.
