2019
In the course of a scientific cooperation between the German Mummy Project at the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen, Mannheim (Germany) and the Musée National d'Histoire et d'Art Luxembourg (Luxembourg), an ancient Egyptian mummy head was analyzed using a multidisciplinary approach including radiocarbon dating, ultra-high resolution computed tomography, physical anthropology, forensic medicine and Egyptology.

The Earliest Reference to Israel and Its Possible Archaeological and Historical Background
2017
Manfred Görg proposed to read the name Israel on a broken Egyptian inscriptionäm21687, which is now kept in the storage facilities of the New Museum in Berlin. New research during the last number of years has confirmed this reading, although the writing of the name is different from that of the Merenptah inscription. Some characteristics appear to demonstrate that this inscription is older than the Israel stela of Merenptah and may likely date to the 14th or earlier 13th centurybce. The paper will present some ideas about an earlier beginning of the formation of what is generally called Israel and about the way, how this early Israel came about.

2006
L'auteur étudie la figure d'Arcangelo Michele Migliarini, peintre et archéologue, dont le parcours et la pensée sont emblématiques de la situation artistique et culturelle de Rome à la fin du 18e s. et au début du 19e siècle. Dans un premier temps, il reconstruit et contextualise les étapes de sa formation artistique et intellectuelle à Rome, puis il retrace son parcours et la façon dont il a réussi à s'imposer dans des institutions telles que l'Académie des beaux-arts ou la Galerie des Offices de Florence enfin il analyse les liens de Migliarini avec le marché de l'art et le collectionnisme. Il insiste sur le rôle de Migliarini dans le développement du classicisme au début du 19e siècle.
