  • 2011 Annual Report
    2011 ANNUAL REPORT A I of A from the president Daniel Radcliffe, the British actor who is better known as Harry Potter in the just-completed fi lm series, has announced that he now plans to study archaeology at university. What with all the technological “wizardry”—from GIS to laser scanning to electron spin resonancing— that has transformed archaeological fi eldwork in the last decade, Radcliffe will no doubt feel completely at home. Here at the AIA we embrace a mix of old and new as we look toward our future. Our print publications, American Journal of Archaeology and ARCHAEOLOGY magazine, remain as strong as ever, but we also are developing plans for an enhanced website and digital publications, including an online journal devoted to best practices in conservation. We recognize that such media will play an ever more dominant role in education and communication and we want to continue to reach the next generation of archaeologists. Throughout North America, our 108 societies present programs of astonishing diversity and creativity. Many owe their success to partnering with other local organizations such as universities and museums. Indeed, our partnerships with groups that share our mission— among them Global Heritage Fund, the American Philological Association, and the Registry of Professional Archaeologists—help expand our ability to save and record the material record. Our coordinated efforts with them maximizes our impact in recessionary times like the present. Yet new initiatives can still be launched even when budgets are constrained. Two of the AIA’s most exciting recent efforts, our Site Preservation Program and our Troop Lectures, refl ect the vision of leaders who sought innovative ways to answer needs in the cultural heritage fi eld.

Fazel Ansari Chaharsoughi eingereicht bei der Naturwissenschaftlich-Technischen Fakultät der Universität Siegen Siegen 2014 gedruckt auf alterungsbeständigem holz- und säurefreiem Papier 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Madjid Fathi 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Volker Wulf Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20.11.2014 I Meta-analysis of Knowledge Assets for Continuous Improvement of Maintenance Cost Controlling Acknowledgements My work owes its success to a great number of people. Foremost, I would like to acknowledge the contribution of my family. Without the support of my wife and colleague, Marjan, the successful development and completion of my research would not have been possible. Marjan inspires me to endure the usual hardship experienced with such long-term research. I am delighted to dedicate this work to her. My work has also taken me far away from my homeland and, therefore, has prevented me from sharing certain special moments with my parents. I hope to be a better family member and son with regards to involve- ment in family matters in the future. I would like to thank my first Ph.D. supervisor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Madjid Fathi, chair of the Institute of Knowledge-Based Systems and Knowledge Manage- ment (KBS&KM) at the University of Siegen. He has supported me in devel- oping an academic career and provided opportunities for me to become in- volved in both European- and industry-funded research projects. I would also like to thank my second Ph.D.

  • Archaeology and Classics
    CHICAGO, ILLINOIS JANUARY 2 – 5, 2014 WELCOME TO CHICAGO! Dear AIA Members and Colleagues, Welcome to Chicago for the 115th Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America. This year’s meeting combines an exciting program presenting cutting-edge research with the unique opportunity to socialize, network, and relax with thousands of your peers from the US, Canada, and more than 30 foreign countries. Appropriately for an urban venue settled in the 19th century by ethnic Europeans, this year’s meeting will feature several sessions on East European archaeology. And sessions devoted to heritage and preservation and digital methodologies in archaeology touch upon increasingly central concerns in the discipline. Back by popular demand are the undergraduate paper session and the Lightning Session. We are indebted to Trustee Michael L. Galaty and the Program for the Annual Meeting Committee that he chairs for fashioning such a stimulating program. Table of Contents Some of the other highlights of this year’s meeting include: General Information ......4-5 Opening Night Lecture and Reception (Thursday, 6:00–9:00 pm) Program-at-a-Glance 10-11 We kick off the meeting with a public lecture by Dr. Garrett Fagan, Professor of Ancient History at Penn State University. In “How to Stage a Bloodbath: Theatricality and Artificiality at the Roman Arena” Fagan explores Exhibitors .................. 12-13 the theatrical aspects of Roman arena games – the stage sets, equipment of the fighters, etc–that created an artificial landscape in which the violence of the spectacle was staged. Fagan will also consider what these Thursday, January 2 features tell us about Roman attitudes toward the violence of the games, and how spectators reacted to them Day-at-a-Glance ..........14 psychologically (Thursday, 6 pm).
