Egy új hettita honlap/portál/adatbázis/térkép:

"Hittite Epigraphic Findings in the Ancient Near East"

A honlap célja:

"The present web-site has been developed with the purpose of creating a general geographic map of the epigraphic findings belonging to the Hittite Kingdom (1600 – 1150 BC). The findings listed here concern texts, seals, and inscribed objects written either in Akkadic or Hittite. Data come from more than 70 archaeological sites spread over a territory extending from the Western Anatolian coast to the Tigris valley and from the Northern Anatolian coast to the Syro-Lebanese border."

Boldog új évet!

Az Agyagpap írnokai bloguk minden kedves Olvasójának boldog, és szakmai sikerekben gazdag új évet kívánnak!

Egyúttal néhány apró változásra hívjuk fel a figyelmet: mostantól a címkézés a megszokottnál részletesebb lesz (lesznek folyóirat-címkék és az egyes kulturális egységeket és témaköröket is gyakrabban fogjuk jelölni), abban a reményben, hogy így még informatívabb lesz a blog. Továbbá megnövekedett nem-magyar ajkú olvasótáborunk kedvéért, noha a blog nyelve a magyar marad, egyes esetekben a bejegyzések címét angolul is megadjuk, hogy ezzel is segítsük tájékozódásukat.
