ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE EDITOR
NOTICES DU RÉDACTEUR

1. Some of you may have noticed that the website of the Association was unavailable for about two weeks in December-January. It so happens that a defective plugin had caused the creation of a monster .txt file of 153 GB – yes: GB. To give you a sense of proportions, the entire site (html pages, PDFs, images, the entire CCB archive, etc.) amounts to 5 or 6 GB. Therefore, I'm sending this as the January issue.
2. Possibly related to that is the fact that I seem not to have received any new announcements through the ccb@cac-scec.ca account since about the middle of December – not even spam, which should have come plenty. If you sent me an announcement which did not make it in this issue, please send it again at both ccb@cac-scec.ca and gchamberland@laurentian.ca.
3. Please, before you submit any announcement, make sure that your hyperlinks work.

À fin de comparaison, le site dans son ensemble (pages html, PDFs, images, la totalité des archives du Bulletin, etc.) ne représentent qu'environ 5 ou 6 giga octets. Ce bulletin aurait dû être affiché en décembre, mais à cette date, il est préférable de le considérer comme la livraison de janvier.

CFP: ANCIENT GREEK AND ROMAN PAINTING AND THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES
6th–8th AUGUST 2018 TUFTS UNIVERSITY
PEINTURE ANCIENNE ET HUMANITÉS NUMÉRIQUES
6–8 AOÛT 2018, TUFTS UNIVERSITY

From Benjamin Victor / Valérie Toillon

French version below.

It is widely known that ancient Greek painting was mostly passed down to us through textual sources. These texts of ancient Greek or Latin authors, mostly dated from the 1st to the 2nd centuries CE, such as Pliny the Elder, Pausanias or Philostratus, offer a valuable testimony which enables us to establish the (partial) history of ancient Greek painting since its beginnings. Of course, these texts do not teach us everything we would like to know about ancient painting, because in the absence of the paintings themselves it is very difficult to write a history of painting that is devoid of suppositions or educated guesses. Yet, archeology has provided and still provides us with valuable information, on the one hand in terms of iconography (in particular through vase painting, but also from wall paintings and floor mosaics) and on the other hand on the techniques used for the treatment of color, thanks to the recent discoveries of Macedonian burial painting. This material can be compared to the texts and confirm or invalidate what ancient authors tell us about painting: names of painters, techniques, title and subject of the works, location of these works, under which circumstances these works were commissioned etc. Much more than trying to reconstruct paintings that are lost forever, the texts, compared to the iconographic and archaeological material we possess, make it possible to place these paintings in their historical and cultural context. This is the challenge of the Digital Milliet: to go back, once again, through the Greek and Latin texts on painting assembled in early twentieth-century collections, following the example of the Recueil Milliet, published by Salomon Reinach in 1921, as well as to compare them with the most recent archaeological findings and historiographical research in order to offer a fresh approach and a new reading of these texts, often known only to specialists.

Creating a corpus of texts devoted to a particular subject is in itself not completely new; however, a corpus supported by digital technology is such indeed, offering an undeniable working flexibility, especially since it is possible to update the data often in a digital collection. The Digital Milliet is the result of two years of work and currently offers some fifty texts devoted to ancient painting, to which images and "keywords" have been added, allowing for the creation of thematic collections.

The conference we are proposing will have as its starting point the Digital Milliet seen as a working tool, and will connect Digital Humanities with Art History. Therefore, this conference has two parts, each of which has a distinct focal point. The first part will be devoted to methodology and digital tools, aiming to provide an overview of the means and methods of research in Ancient Art History. In other words, how do we make Art History in the digital era, when the abundance of data dominates? What tools and methods should we consider? What kind of applications should we envision for digital resources? What are the inputs from a database such as the Digital Milliet?

The second part will be devoted to questions raised by the creation of the Digital Millet, and more broadly to the place texts occupy in Ancient Art History when they are confronted with material sources: what do these texts teach us and what do they not teach us? This section will also be devoted to historiographical questions, and particularly to the choices made by Adolphe Reinach in the process of interpreting the texts (readings of the ancient text, notes, translations) in his original edition of the Recueil Milliet. Therefore, it will be necessary to put the Recueil Milliet in its own historical context in order to get a better understanding of it that goes beyond the mere re-representation of the texts that are gathered in this corpus.

Abstracts should be 350-500 words in length, including a short bibliography (1 page maximum). We welcome research papers on the below mentioned themes but not limited to:

• digital tools in Art History and/or Classical Studies
• methodologies in the digital era
• education, pedagogy
• a case study of a work, a text, or a group of texts
• new archaeological data, iconographic interpretation, comparison with texts
• new readings of texts, fresh understanding of their vocabulary in connection to archaeological data

The deadline for proposals is Friday 16 February 2018. The proposed papers should be sent by e-mail to the following address: digmilconference@gmail.com. Decisions will be made in April 2018.

::::::::: ::::::: ::::: ::: : ::: ::::: ::::::: :::::::::

Il est de notoriété que la peinture antique ne nous est connue presque uniquement par les textes. Ces textes d'auteurs de langue grecque ou latine, majoritairement datés des Ier-IIe siècles de notre ère, tels que Pline l'Ancien, Pausanias ou encore Philostrate, offrent des témoignages précieux qui nous ont permis d'établir (en partie) une histoire de la peinture grecque ancienne depuis ses origines. Bien sûr, ces textes ne nous apprennent pas tout ce que nous souhaiterions à propos de la peinture antique, car en l'absence des œuvres elles-mêmes il est bien difficile d'écrire une histoire de la peinture qui soit dépourvue de suppositions ou d'approximations. Pourtant, l'archéologie nous a livré et nous livre encore de précieuses informations, d'une part par le biais d'un riche matériel iconographique (en particulier la peinture de vases mais aussi la peinture murale et la mosaïque) et d'autre part concernant les techniques employées pour le traitement de la couleur, grâce aux découvertes récentes des peintures funéraires macédoniennes. Ce matériel se confronte aux textes et confirme ou infirme ce que les auteurs anciens ont bien voulu nous dire sur la peinture : noms de peintres, techniques, titre et sujet des œuvres, emplacement de ces œuvres, circonstances de la commande etc. Bien plus que de rendre possible la reconstitution d'œuvres à jamais disparues, les textes, confrontés au matériel iconographique et archéologique que nous possédons, permettent de replacer ces œuvres dans leur contexte historique et culturel. C'est le pari lancé par le Digital Milliet : reprendre les textes grecs et latins à propos de peinture rassemblés dans les recueils constitués au début du XXe siècle à l'exemple du Recueil Milliet publié par Salomon Reinach en 1921, et de les confronter aux données archéologiques et historiographiques récentes que nous possédons afin d'offrir une approche et une lecture renouvelée de ces textes, souvent très bien connus des spécialistes.

Créer un corpus de textes consacré à un sujet en particulier n'est en soi pas fondamentalement nouveau, en revanche, le support numérique l'est car il offre une souplesse de travail indéniable. D'autant plus qu'il est possible de mettre à jour régulièrement les données proposées dans le recueil numérique. Fruit de deux années de travail, le Digital Milliet offre actuellement une cinquantaine de textes consacrés à la peinture antique auxquels s'ajoutent des images et des "mots-clés", qui permettent de créer des collections thématiques.

La conférence que nous proposons aura comme point de départ, le Digital Milliet en tant qu'outil de travail et alliera l'histoire de l'art aux Humanités Numériques. Deux pistes de réflexion seront donc mises en avant. Un premier volet consacré à la méthodologie et aux outils numériques, qui se propose de dresser un bilan des moyens et des méthodes de recherches en histoire de l'art ancienne. Autrement dit, comment faire de l'histoire de l'art antique à l'ère du numérique, lorsque l'abondance de données domine ? Quels outils, quelles méthodes devons-nous envisager ? Quelles applications pour les ressources numériques ? Quels sont les apports d'une base de données telle que le Digital Milliet ?

Le second volet sera dédié aux questions scientifiques soulevées par la création du Digital Millet, et plus largement à la place occupée par les textes dans l'histoire de la peinture antique confrontés aux sources matérielles : que nous apprennent ces textes et surtout que ne nous apprennent-ils pas ? Cette section sera aussi consacrée aux questions historiographiques, et plus particulièrement aux choix interprétatifs (lecture du texte, notes, traductions) retenus par Adolphe Reinach dans son édition originale du Recueil Milliet. Il s'agira alors de remettre le Recueil Milliet dans son contexte de création afin d'en faire une lecture plus approfondie qui va au-delà de la simple réappropriation du corpus des textes qui y sont réunis.

Les communications proposées seront de 20 min chacune suivies d'une période de discussion de 5 min, et porteront sur l'un ou l'autre aspect évoqué plus haut, soit :

• outils numériques en histoire de l'art et études classiques
• méthodologie à l'ère du numérique
• enseignement, pédagogie
• étude de cas portant sur une œuvre, un texte, un groupe de textes
• nouvelles données archéologiques, interprétation iconographique, confrontation aux textes
• nouvelle lecture des textes, interprétation du vocabulaire en lien avec les données archéologiques

Un résumé de 350 à 500 mots accompagné d'une courte bibliographie indicative (1 page maximum) est attendu pour le vendredi 16 février 2018. Toutes les propositions seront envoyées par courrier électronique à l'adresse suivante : digmilconference@gmail.com. Les réponses seront communiquées durant le mois d'avril  2018.

CFP: CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST (CAPN)
ANNUAL MEETING, MARCH 9–10, 2018

From David Mirhady

The 48th Annual Meeting of the Classical Association of the Pacific Northwest (CAPN) will take place at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA, on March 9–10, 2018. The keynote speaker will be Professor Joy Connolly, Provost of the Graduate Center, CUNY.

Call for Papers: We invite papers on any aspect of the ancient Mediterranean world, including Greece, Rome, Egypt, and the Ancient Near East. We especially seek those that are likely to be of broad interest and seek to make connections among different elements of the ancient world. Such connections may cross traditional disciplinary boundaries (such as archaeology, drama, history, literature, and philosophy) or geographical boundaries (e.g., looking at intersections between Greek society and Roman society) or even temporal boundaries (including receptions of Mediterranean antiquity in later places and times). We also welcome pedagogical papers, especially those that address the instruction of Latin and Greek at the primary, secondary, and university levels. Teachers and students of Classics at any level of instruction (K-12, college, or university) are encouraged to submit abstracts.

Please submit abstracts of no more than 300 words to capn2018@pugetsound.edu. Presentations should be no more than 20 minutes in length. The deadline for submission is January 14, 2018. All abstracts will be judged anonymously by committee. You will receive a response no later than February 1, 2018.

Proposals for Round Tables: We invite members to suggest topics for round tables, which will be part of an extended lunch period. Topics might include: challenges and opportunities in teaching Greek and Latin in the current educational climate; discussion about recent department/program closures and how we might respond; or labor issues and concerns for faculty in the PacNW. Please submit round table proposals of no more than 150 words to capn2018@pugetsound.edu by January 14, 2018.

Further details about the conference schedule, keynote address, lodging, and other practicalities will be posted soon on the CAPN webpage (classicalassocpacificnw.org). Information will be added as it becomes available.

Additional questions may be directed to Brett Rogers (bmrogers@pugetsound.edu) at the University of Puget Sound.

We look forward to seeing you in March!

FREDERICK AND JOAN WINTER STUDENT TRAVEL BURSARY (REMINDER)
BOURSE D’ÉTUDES ET DE VOYAGE FREDERICK ET JOAN WINTER (RAPPEL)

From/De Gerry Schaus

Professor Frederick Winter, formerly professor of Art History at the University of Toronto, made many contributions to Classical Archaeology, but he will be remembered best for his masterly monographs, Greek Fortifications (1971) and Studies in Hellenistic Architecture (2006), as well as a series of articles in the American Journal of Archaeology (1976–1982) entitled “Tradition and Innovation in Doric Design I – IV.” His wife, Joan, was a constant companion in his field research, an assistant in gathering data and an invaluable sounding board for ideas. Between them, Fred and Joan visited an extraordinary number of classical sites, firmly believing in the importance of seeing a location for oneself.

Now, as a permanent support and assistance for Canadian student fieldwork in Greece and the Mediterranean, following in their formidable footsteps, Prof. Winter’s family has established the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary through the Canadian Institute in Greece.

The Institute therefore invites applications for the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary to be held during the spring or summer of 2018.

The applicant must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, pursuing graduate or post-doctoral studies, and have a clear need to travel either in Greece or the wider Mediterranean, for purposes of research in any field of Hellenic studies, ancient to mediaeval.

To apply, write to Dr Gerald Schaus (gschaus@wlu.ca) by 1 March 2018, including a curriculum vitae, an outline of the proposed research and an explanation for the need to travel for this research. Please arrange for two referees familiar with your work to send letters of support for your application to Dr Schaus.

Within three months of the end of the travel period, a brief report must be sent by the bursary recipient to the Chair of the CIG Fellowships Committee describing the work that was accomplished.

In any subsequent publication of the research work done under the auspices of this bursary, the recipient shall acknowledge both the Canadian Institute in Greece and the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary.

One or more bursaries will be offered each year, amounting to a total of CAD$2,000.

Ancien professeur d’histoire de l’art à l’Université de Toronto, Frederick Winter (1922–2011) a publié de nombreux travaux sur l’archéologie du monde classique. Il est connu surtout pour deux ouvrages, Greek Fortifications (1971) et Studies in Hellenistic Architecture (2006), et pour une série d’articles dans l’American Journal of Archaeology (1976–1982) intitulée « Tradition and Innovation in Doric Design I–IV ». Sa femme, Joan, compagne inséparable durant ses recherches sur le terrain, a joué un rôle crucial autant dans la collecte que l’analyse des données. Fred et Joan ont visité ensemble un grand nombre de sites, jugeant que l’expérience personnelle acquise sur le terrain était indispensable.

Pour soutenir et assister en permanence les études sur le terrain d’étudiants canadiens en Grèce et dans le monde méditerranéen, la famille du professeur Winter a tout récemment créé la «Bourse d’études et de voyage Frederick et Joan Winter» avec l’assistance de l’Institut canadien en Grèce (ICG).

L’Institut canadien en Grèce lance un appel à candidatures pour la Bourse d’études et de voyage Frederick et Joan Winter qui sera offerte pour un séjour à l’Institut au printemps ou à l’été 2018.

Les candidats doivent être citoyens canadiens ou immigrants reçus et inscrits dans un programme d’études supérieures ou postdoctorales. Ils doivent aussi démontrer un besoin manifeste de séjourner en Grèce ou ailleurs dans le monde méditerranéen pour mener des recherches sur le monde hellénique, de l'antiquité à l'époque médiévale, dans la discipline de leur choix.

Pour déposer votre dossier de candidature, veuillez contacter le professeur Gerald Schaus (gschaus@wlu.ca) avant le 1er mars 2018. Les dossiers doivent comprendre un curriculum vitae, un plan détaillé du projet d’études en Grèce, et une explication de la nécessité d’effectuer des recherches sur le terrain. Veuillez demander à deux professeurs souhaitant appuyer votre démarche d’envoyer une lettre de soutien au professeur Schaus.

Dans les trois mois qui suivront la fin de la période de recherche, le candidat devra envoyer, au président du comité des bourses de l’ICG, un court rapport décrivant le travail accompli.

Le bénéficiaire aura l’obligation, dans toute publication ultérieure aux travaux de recherche menés sous les auspices de la bourse, de souligner le soutien de l’Institut canadien en Grèce et de la bourse Frederick et Joan Winter pour l’achèvement de ses travaux.

DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES & CLASSICS
SAINT MARY'S UNIVERSITY
ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SCHOOL
VILLA OF TITUS, CASTEL SANT'ANGELO, ITALY
MAY 14–JUNE 22, 2018
(CLAS 3610 and 3611 OR CLAS 4610 and 4611)

From Myles McCallum

The Department of Modern Languages and Classics at Saint Mary's University invites applications for its archaeological field school to be taught onsite at the Villa di Tito (Villa of Titus) in the town of Castel Sant’Angelo (province of Rieti), Italy. Students will participate in an ongoing archaeological research project which involves the excavation of a very large Roman villa that was likely also an imperial estate. The goal of our research is to identify and study the parts of the villa associated with the daily activities and lives of non-elites (farmers, laborers, slaves, etc). We are also interested in documenting environmental changes and the economic life of the community through the analysis the site’s assemblage of zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical remains. The course will involve faculty from Saint Mary's University, McMaster University, Oxford University, the University of Nevada, Reno, and professional Italian archaeologists.

Location of Field School
The town of Castel Sant’Angelo is roughly 90 km northeast of Rome. The site at Castel Sant’Angelo is called colloquially the ‘Villa di Tito’ (Villa of Titus) and the ‘Terme di Tito’ (Baths of Titus), based on the supposition that it was once the property of the emperor Titus (reigned 79–81 CE), where he may have died. The ruins of a concrete, terraced Roman period structure (roughly 60 x 20 metres) have been visible since antiquity, and recent excavations in 2011 have suggest that the structure was a villa. In antiquity, this part of Italy was known as the Sabina, the home of the Sabines, among Rome’s first Italian allies, and the site may also have origins sometime in the third century BCE. The entire area is rich in archaeological sites from the Italian Iron Age and Roman period, and was an important region during the Middle Ages as well, situated along the Via Salaria (Salt Road), which connected Rome to the Adriatic coast of Italy.

History of the Project
This is the first year of a new field project. During the first year, we aim to engage in both archaeological field survey, to identify the remains of other structures in close association with the terraced structure and possibly part of the same villa complex. We will also excavate the remains of the terraced structure, which we will document using digital photogrammetry and standard archaeological recording forms. Students will be trained in all basic operations associated with archaeological excavation, including digging, finds recovery, sieving, documentation, data entry, photography, drawing, and finds processing. There will also be an environmental archaeology component.

Student Assessement
Students will be graded on their ability to learn and execute various archaeological techniques in the field and the lab, on their entries in an archaeological daybook, and on a final exam or interpretative report. Students will enroll in two 3.0 credit hour courses (CLAS 3610, Field Study in Roman Archaeology and 3611, Roman Archaeology Field Laboratory) offered by Saint Mary's University through the Department of Modern Languages and Classics.

Costs
For Canadian students, the tuition and fees for these two courses are between $1,100 and $1,200 (total). Non-Canadian Students pay double this fee. Students are also required to pay a $1,600.00 participation fee to Saint Mary's University, which covers costs associated with the field school, including meals, accommodation, and transport to and from the site each day. This fee does NOT include airfare; students are required to arrange for their travel to and from the field school. In general, student airfare to and from Italy during the summer runs between 800 and 1100 dollars (depending on the point of departure, airline, and route). Students should also budget some amount of pocket money for the purchase of souvenirs and for entertainment.

Accommodation and Meals
Students who are participating in the Vill of Titus field project are housed in a renovated 16th century farmhouse which recently has been converted into a guest house complete with bunks, wardrobes, bathrooms, and showers. At the moment, however, there are no washing machines, so students will have to hand-wash their clothing. Nearby towns and villages are home to shops, coffee bars, restaurants, and bank machines.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided from Monday to Friday. We will typically eat our meals at the guest house, although we will occasionally go out for dinner to local restaurants and pizzerias. For snacks, there are a number of small, local grocery stores that sell all manner of snack items and food.

Work Week
Students will work in the field and lab 5 days/week, starting around 8:00 am and finishing in the late afternoon (between between 4:30 and 5:00 pm), depending on weather conditions. Weekends are free, although there will be optional trips to nearby archaeological and historical sites and museums, such as those at Rome, Ostia, the Vatican, Tarquinia, and Orvieto. Students who are not interested in the scheduled trips may make their own weekend travel arrangements. A round trip ticket to Rome, including an all day public transportation pass, costs €8. Travel throughout Tuscany, including to Florence, is quick and easy, as are trips to the Bay of Naples area.

Faculty and Staff
The field school is taught by Dr. Myles McCallum, Associate Professor, Department of Modern Languages and Classics, Saint Mary's University (email: myles.mccallum@smu.ca) and Dr. Martin Beckmann, Associate Professor, Department of Classics, McMaster University. Other faculty may include Dr. Angela Trentacoste, Oxford University, Dr. Peter Wigand, University of Nevada, Reno, dottore Simone Nardelli, as well as graduate student supervisors from institutions in Canada. Students will also have the opportunity to interact with Italian archaeology students who volunteer to work alongside us.

Prerequisites
The prerequisite for the field school (CLAS 3610 and 3611) is 3.0 credit hours of archaeology through a Classics or an Anthropology Department, or 3.0 credit hours in Classics, or permission of the instructor. The course is not designed specifically for those majoring in Classics or archaeology, and is open to all students at Saint Mary’s University. Those students with previous archaeological experience may take the course at the 4000-level (CLAS 4610 and 4611).

Application Process
If you are interested in applying to participate in the 2018 field school, please contact Dr. Myles McCallum, Department of Modern Languages and Classics, Saint Mary's University, Halifax, NS, Canada, via email at: myles.mccallum@smu.ca. If you have questions about the field school, you may also contact Dr. McCallum via email or by telephone at: (902) 420-5815.
