DASI

digital archive for the study of pre-islamic arabian inscriptions

If you click on the link Sites in the menu on the left, a list of the archaeological sites connected with the epigraphic and anepigraphic objects catalogued will appear, irrespective of whether their geographic coordinates are recorded or not (unlike the Google map in the Map tool).
Number of sites in the list
The total number of sites listed is indicated above the alphabet bar.
Structure of the list
The records are listed in alphabetical order by the name of the site. You can select the initial letter from the alphabetic bar above 30 records are listed in each page. In the index the modern name, the antique name (when known), the region (when known), and the modern name of the country are specified. By clicking on the modern name of a site, you will be taken to the relative card (see Cards).
Filters
Your search of the index of sites can be refined by using one or more of the filters that you will find above the list; these will filter information regarding the epigraphs or the objects coming from the sites, or the sites themselves (to learn more about the content of the filters, see Editorial criteria). Every filter is provided with a text box, control box or dropdown menu, where which you can type, select or choose the needed values. In the “Title” box you can insert special characters by means of the virtual keyboard, which can be displayed by clicking on the icon located at the side of the box.
 
When more than one filter is applied, the logic governing the selection will be ‘AND’. Therefore, if you apply various filters a list consisting only of those objects that simultaneously meet all of the criteria will be generated.
 
Note that the number of sites listed will vary depending on the level (the entire DASI archive, a specific project, a specific corpus) at which you are consulting the archive and that the filters applied must be consistent with that specific level and among themselves. E.g.: if you filter by Modern name-->Aden and Country-->Egypt, you will not retrieve any result.
