Active Expert Learning for the Digital Humanities
Current platforms for paper sharing among scholars, such as Research Gate, could support Active Expert Learning, whereby the paper being uploaded is processed using human language technology techniques, and feedback is asked of the scholar doing the upload using active learning techniques to minimize the amount of feedback requested. We show that this approach could outperform traditional active learning as well as randomly asking for feedback

The deposit of KHB-1, Raâs al Khabbah (JaâlÄn region, Sultanate of Oman): Stratigraphy, features and structures
The excavation of KHB-1 archaeological site was part of the Joint Hadd Project [Joint Hadd Project is a project operating in the JaâlÄn region since 1985, born under the collaboration between ISIAO (Istituto Italiano per lâAfrica e lâOriente, Rome), CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris) and the University of Bologna] carried out in the JaâlÄn region, along the coast of the Sultanate of Oman. Different phases of occupation with significant structural evidences were identified within the deposit: an early short-term occupation in the 7th millennium, followed by a longer, extended period of occupation during the 4th millennium by a community of hunter-gatherers, with some evidence of animal husbandry. The material culture recovered from KHB-1, which includes architectural remains, provides new insights on the cultures of this region, highlighting a need for further excavations and analysis. This paper will illustrate the stratigraphic sequence and the main features recovered at KHB-1, followed by a discussion on the two main periods of occupation which will help shed a light on the site function and more broadly provide key insights on mobility, economy, and material culture of JaâlÄn in the beginning of 7th and along the 4th millennium B.C
