  1. Playing with some #datavisualization of #Etruscan frieze plaque fragments from Poggio Civitate.

    This is a force directed graph with edge (connection) strength between artifacts (nodes) calculated from a mix of spatial grid coordinates, description embeddings (via a small language model), and presence/absence of common controlled vocabulary terms. The groupings seem pretty meaningful.

    It swirls around in a hypnotic way too.

  13. I fixed a stupid CSS bug and now Open Context is properly falling back to a "noto" font for use with ancient scripts. Here's a nice example of Etruscan, with the unicode getting rendered correctly. It reads (something like):

    𐌀𐌙𐌉𐌓

    (or less likely)

    𐌀𐌙𐌐𐌓

    It's interesting because it's written on a fragment of a rochetto (a spool), which is an everyday implement used in textile production.
