Lydian Legacies

Abstract

Sardis, in western Turkey, was a major city from about 800 BC to 600 AD. The site’s rich history is matched with an equally rich excavation history spanning sixty years. Sardis is an active excavation which has embraced born-digital recording practices, yet it remains saddled with a significant amount of legacy data. The nature of this data requires serious vetting to be intelligible to those without intimate knowledge of the project. At present, the most effective way of vetting this data is via focused publication pushes. Sardis has several recent data-heavy publications that present the site in traditional and new ways. These publications also provide significant challenges, such as the integration of legacy data with born-digital content. This contribution illustrates a hybrid model for archaeological publication, outlining the process for a print volume of nearly 8,000 coins, coupled with the full data set presented online, and a push to integrate this material with the American Numismatic Society’s Nomisma platform, creating the largest collection to date of linked open data on coins from a controlled archaeological excavation. Sardis produced the first coins in the ancient world and the project looks forward to enhancing opportunities for numismatic data discovery and reuse.

Vapor Liquid Equilibrium of Pure and Aqueous Methyl Diethanolamine (MDEA), 2-Dimethylmonoethanolamine (DMMEA), N-Methylmonoethanolamine (MMEA) and 1-(2-Aminoethyl)Piperazine (AEP): Experimental Results and Modeling

“…Very little data was found for pure AEP. Data for the normal boiling point were found in several sources, mainly suppliers: Huntsman (2022) [50] , Sigma Aldrich (2022) [51] and from Parchem (2022) [49]. The normal boiling point was given as 220-224 o C and the value was relatively consistent between the suppliers.…”
