Back to top: List of staff by names and initials

Introduction

This page collects all the “staff initials”, i.e. the abbreviations used by people working on the Urkesh website. Each abbreviations consists of two or three digits (the first in lower case, the second and the third ones in upper case, e.g. gB [Giorgio Buccellati] or mKB [Marilyn Kelly-Buccellati]).

Names and surnames in italic belong to local Syrian people involved in field excavation or lab work.
The following table is structured in order to provide the following information:

• Col. 1, "Initials": the aforementioned "staff initial"
• Col. 2, "Name": provides the first name(s)
• Col. 3, "Last Name": displays the surname
• Col. 4, "Activity": describes in short the main activity undertaken at Mozan or in projects related to Urkesh
• Col. 5-14, "Seasons": lists the seasons (indicated with the "UGR year names", represented by an upper case Roman letter, e.g. "A" = 1990 [for details, see the "Seasons' Short List (PDF)"]) joint by the specific person; if these columns are blank, it means that the specific person started working on Mozan's projects after the end of the excavations season (i.e., 2010 = U); the "study seasons" (i.e. from 2011 onwards, = "23a" [the "study seasons are indicated with the number "23" (that is the "excavation season's code" of the last year of excavation, i.e. 2010 ) + a Roman small case letter (e.g. "a"); thus, "23a" is the "study season's code" for year 2011 (NB: at the moment, these codes are not used in the following table) [for an overview on these codes, see the "Seasons' Short List (PDF)"]
• Col. 15, "e-mail": here the personal or institutional e-mail address is entered, in the form of a clickable link directly opening an e-mail in the user's personal e-mail provider (NB: please note that these e-mails are entered under people's permission, and they are intended to be used for working reasons only)
• Col. 16, "Notes": here general notes or remarks are entered; sometimes, double initials (i.e., two different initials attributed to the same person during time) are signaled here

This page lists firstly all the “staff initials” in alphabetical order (section “Sorted by Initials”), secondly a list of the “cumulative staff initials”, i.e. the initials of people joining the same activity, i.e. a “joint project” (section “Joint Projects”), e.g. Beatrice Landini (bL) working together with Marta Lorenzon (mL): in this case the “combination code” bML will be used in the UGR; last, a list of people in alphabetical order (following their surnames) is provided (section “Sorted by Names”).
