Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Two terracotta tiles inscribed with Faliscan funerary inscriptions are part of the collection of Italic antiquities in the Field Museum in Chicago, IL. The tiles were discovered in 1886 during excavation of tomb no. 7 in the first cemetery of S. Antonio, located near Corchiano in the Ager Faliscus. A few years after discovery, the tiles disappeared and were thought to have been lost. It turns out that Martin Ryerson, a collector for the Field Museum, purchased the tiles and other artifacts from an antiquities dealer in Rome and shipped them to the Field Museum in 1895. In 2017, photographs of the tiles were placed on the Field Museum’s website. Rediscovery of the inscribed tiles in the Field Museum’s archives allows us to confirm the readings of the inscriptions, to correct errors in early copies of the inscriptions, and to reassess the inscriptions’ significant paleographic and linguistic features.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
