==Sebastian Heath== Brooklyn, NY sebastian heath gmail com ==About Me== I'm an archaeologist who works in the Mediterranean region, with a particular focus on the material culture of Greek and Roman antiquity. I am a Research Scientist at the [[http://numismatics.org/|American Numismatic Society]] and a Research Associate in the Mediterranean Section of the [[http://www.arthistory.upenn.edu/aamw/faculty.html#heath|University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology]]. I am also an Academic Trustee at the [[http://www.archaeological.org/|Archaeological Institute of America]]. See the "[[publications]]" page for more on my professional activities. None of the content of this site should be taken to reflect the opinions of these institutions. \\ As far as education goes, I graduated from [[http://brown.edu|Brown University]] with an A.B. in Medieval Studies and have a Ph.D. in Classical Art and Archaeology from the [[http://umich.edu|University of Michigan]]. ==About this Site== This is a personal page with links to various projects/experiments that I'm currently working on. My latest concern is establishing computationally-actionable unique identities on the internet using Doman Name Identifiers (DNIDs). Read about it on the [[http://dnid-community.blogspot.com/|dnid-community blog]] and on the [[http://www.dnid-community.org | dnid-community website]]. Neel Smith is also experimenting with DNIDs. His ancient Lycian language and archaeology course will work with [[http://shot.holycross.edu/~nsmith/ans-lycian-coins.html|ANS coins]] and make reference to them using DNIDs. ==Digital Publications== * [[http://numismatics.org/dpubs/|American Numismatic Society Digital Publications Project]] * [[http://classics.uc.edu/troy/grbpottery/|Greek, Roman and Byzantine Pottery at Ilion (Troia)]], co-edited with Billur Tekkök * [[http://classics.uc.edu/prap/|Pylos Regional Archaeological Project: Internet Edition]], co-editor ==Unique Identity on the Internet== * [[http://numismatics.org/collection/numismatics.org:1858.1.1 | numismatics.org:1858.1.1]] * [[http://numismatics.org/collection/numismatics.org:1949.100.10 | numismatics.org:1949.100.10]] ==Maps== * [[http://numismatics.org/xml/geography.html | A Google Maps API version of ANS mints.]] ==Blogs== * [[http://ancientworldbloggers.blogspot.com]] * [[http://dnid-community.blogspot.com]] * [[http://mediterraneanceramics.blogspot.com]] ==Publications== * [[publications|Digital Publications, Articles, etc.]] ==In Progress== * I'm working on an article "[[http://sebastianheath.com/documents/dining2008.html|Dining and Numismatic Imagery under the Roman Empire]]".
