Steno, Papyrus, Holz: KI soll wertvolle Schriften entschlüsseln
archaeologie-online.de/nachric…
Bei der Entschlüsselung historischer Dokumente stoßen selbst Expertinnen und Experten zuweilen an ihre Grenzen – etwa wenn antike Holztafeln verkohlt, Schriftrollen verwittert oder Aufzeichnungen in einer seltenen Form der Stenografie verfasst sind. In zwei neuen Projekten wollen Informatiker der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) KI-gestützte Technologien entwickeln, mit denen solche Quellen leichter erschlossen werden können. Das Schmidt Sciences Humanities and AI Virtual Institute (HAVI) fördert die Vorhaben in den kommenden drei Jahren mit knapp 770.000 Euro, einen Teil davon erhält die FAU.

Republicans Panic as Election Losses Pile Up Under Trump
yahoo.com/news/articles/republ…
Republicans are getting rattled by a run of special-election losses and weak showings on GOP-friendly turf, according to a new report. Amid the electoral defeats, the White House is planning to push President Donald Trump, 79, onto the campaign trail ahead of next year’s midterms. But after Democrats just grabbed Miami’s mayor’s office and flipped a pro-Trump Georgia House seat, Republicans fear the president’s campaign blitz may not stop a midterm slide, The Hill reports.

A Network View on the Big Exchange Project: Integrating and Analysing Heterogeneous Datasets
doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1785641…
This study presents a proof-of-concept for integrating 14 datasets on 11 archaeologically relevant raw materials from the Big Exchange project into a heterogeneous information network (HIN), an informational structure explicitly modelling multiple object and relationship types.HIN-based approaches provide archaeologists with a powerful means of identifying structural and semantic patterns in material distributions.In this study, a spatial extension of the PathSim similarity measure is applied to the integrated HIN to quantify higher-order relationships (meta paths) between raw materials at different spatial scales. The results highlight overlapping material spheres as proxies for potential contact zones and social proximity in the Early Neolithic.They also reveal instances of spatial separation and limited interaction. The method additionally helps distinguish circulation patterns from potential taphonomic biases, such as artefact absence due to preservation conditions. The analysis revealed a particularly strong similarity between Rijckholt flint and AHS adzes at all spatial scales. This suggests that there was sustained contact and low social distance between the communities associated with them.These findings show how spatially extended PathSim can reveal both expected and previously obscured interaction patterns, while also highlighting methodological limitations that result in localised variations in similarity scores being flattened by highly dispersed materials.

Rendlesham rediscovered - Current Archaeology
archaeology.co.uk/articles/fea…
Exploring landscapes of power in early medieval East Anglia Over the last two decades, evidence of a high-status early medieval settlement has been emerging just four miles from Sutton Hoo. What can Rendlesham tell us about the evolution and exercise of royal power in early medieval England? Carly Hilts spoke to Christopher Scull, Faye Minter, Stuart Brookes, and Tom Williamson to learn more. Today, Rendlesham is a rural village near Woodbridge in south-east Suffolk, but for a long time it was an intriguing footnote in the story of early medieval East Anglia. The site appears briefly in Bede’s Ecclesiastical History,

Terracotta statue of a bearded male figure; flattened and hollow body, under life-size, is handmade and moulded; he wears a pair of earrings on each ear and a broad diadem or turban around his head; black curly hair falls beneath the back of the headdress; large eyes defined by ridges; the eyebrows and beard are rendered schematically with a series of oblique incisions; his left arm (probably attached separately), left hand and feet are missing; his elaborate dress consists of three garments: a fringed mantle draped over both shoulders with the right arm tucked under the upper fold like a sling, a red-bordered tunic or chiton and a thinner tunic beneath this extending below the hem in a triangular fold; buff clay with red-purple and black painted detail.
