We are pleased to announce a new publication resulting from our research project!
Aneta Skalec’s article, “The 1909–1910 Gebelein Manuscript Inventory (Inventario Manoscritto): Archival Data from the M.A.I. Excavations”, has just been published in the Journal of Open Archaeology Data.
The paper presents a digital edition of an important archival document recording 1906 artefacts transferred to the Museo Egizio in Turin following the 1909–1910 excavations at Gebelein conducted by the Missione Archeologica Italiana under Ernesto Schiaparelli.
By bringing together the original manuscript inventory, its transcription and English translation, and information on the present state of the collection, the study provides a valuable new resource for reconstructing the archaeological contexts of objects from Gebelein and for investigating the history of archaeological research and museum collections.
The article and accompanying dataset are available open access:
