The MCRSR first appeared in October, 2007. This is the first new installment since April 2008.
As I noted then, the JSTOR link to number 2 takes me to a login page. I still find it odd that no indication of the title of the work is given. When I am logged into JSTOR via UPenn, the link works.
Number 10, which was the Perseus Project Vase Catalog, is now part of the Persues Project Art and Archaeology Artifact Browser. The old URI does not work on the main Perseus site.
No new references have been added.
I have seen that some of these resources have improved URIs, meaning they are shorter and with fewer '?','&' and '=' characters. That's a welcome development and I will update the addresses next time round.

Mediterranean Ceramics Reference Stability Report, Number 7
The MCRSR first appeared in October, 2007. For the seventh installment I am making one addition, no. 18, Roman Amphorae: a digital resource from the United Kingdom Arts and Humanities Data Service's Archaeological Data Service. Astute readers will note that the URL I use re-directs to a interstitial page that asks for compliance with a Copyright and Liability Statement and with a Common Access Agreement. I don't usually use redirects but in this case I do because the publication explicitly asks that citation be only to this URL. It is helpful when sites specify a citation form so that I am happy to comply. But see below for comments on an unfortunate side effect of the site enforcing compliance in this way. In general, however, this is an excellent resource that is highly recommended to anyone interested in the topic. There is much to say about the high quality of the scholarly content but for now I'll keep myself to just a few technically-oriented comments.
First, the title of the work gives me an opportunity to highlight a personal bugaboo of mine. Many digital resources qualify themselves by prepending "electronic" to their titles. This is a misnomer as electricity is only one component of their storage and transmission. Plastics, light, magnetism, etc. are all involved so "digital" is a better term. But this is a somewhat petty observation that doesn't apply here so I'll move on quickly.
About that compliance page, it seems to come at a high cost. If one clicks past the page and makes one's way to the entry for Africana 1 Picolo amphoras, you can read the phrase "Production is attested at Ariana near Carthage...". Try searching for it in Google and you won't find anything. I don't think this can be due to the format of the URL for that particular page - http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/archive/amphora_ahrb_2005/details.cfm?id=1 - because Google usually handles such strings with no problem. Rather, I'm guessing that any links to this page first run the Google spider through the compliance page and that interferes with indexing. Regardless of cause, the result is that these superb pages are not discoverable via search engines. That is unfortunate. And having read both the Copyright and Liability statement and the Common Access Agreement, they did not strike me as so unique as to require this intrusion. To put it another way, what benefit is worth that cost?
Readers may be aware that the AHDS' funding will soon run out. Fortunately, as announced on its website, ADS funding will continue. It will be interesting to see if the published URLs of ADS resources change.
There has been one significant change for the previously listed URLs. The JSTOR link to Robinson's Agora V is now http://www.jstor.org/stable/i285178. Unfortunately, the previous URL, http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1558-8610%281959%295%3C%3E1.0.CO%3B2-3, no longer works. And to compound the issue, the new URL takes one to a login page that does not indicate the title of the linked work. This is an unexpected situation that I hope results from temporary errors. One reason to think they are temporary is that there are "old style" URLs that do redirect to the new and improved URL format. For example, http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0002-9475(1949)70%3A3%3C299%3APPFATT%3E2.0.CO%3B2-S remains usable.

Mediterranean Ceramics Reference Stability Report, Number 6
The MCRSR first appeared in October, 2007. For the sixth installment, I am again making only one addition, no. 17, the section "Abbassid Ceramics" in the Discover Islamic Art exhibition from the Museum With No Frontiers. This is a very well done website that has received substantial European Union and other funding. It will be interesting to see if the information it offers remains available over the long term.
The previously listed URLs for MCRSR items 1 through 16 remain valid. At the time of writing, I can't access number 3, Lattara 6, but I believe this is only a temporary disruption.
Number 10, the Perseus Vase Catalog, announces that "Perseus is changing! Please visit Perseus 4.0 for the current version". The new URL is http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text.jsp?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0043. At some point, it may be appropriate to update item 10, but for now I am going to hold off until the current URL becomes invalid.

a free, open access resource for the electronic publication of primary field research from archaeology and related disciplines.It is useful that there is a concise url established for each record in Open Context. On the page linked below, you'll see a "Cite Item" button that provides a full citation for this piece. It seems, however, that all such Open Context URLs include the string "space.php?".

Mediterranean Ceramics Reference Stability Report, Number 4
The MCRSR first appeared in October, 2007. For the fourth installment, I am making only one addition, no. 15, a Hellenistic lamp from Assos, Turkey now in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts. The URL for this entry is long and I have commented on this situation in a previous post. As a postscript to those observations, I'll briefly mention that I contacted Christine Kondoleon at the MFA and she kindly passed along my e-mail to the relevant department, which in turn seemed open to the ideas I had expressed in the post. So I now include an MFA URL as a way of tracking what happens on its website. In terms of the specific object, the lamp is interesting in part for coming from a well-recorded, at least for its day, excavation. The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) began work at Assos in 1880 and in 1884 donated many of the resulting finds to the MFA. It is encouraging that information about these well provenanced objects is now available to all comers via the Museum's searchable collections database.
There are no changes to report for the other 14 URLs in the list below. There is, however, a hint of gathering instability. Some readers may have noticed that the AIA will cease to make PDFs of the American Journal of Archaeology's articles available for free download. Articles will be available via the commercial service Atypon. The change was announced in this letter from Naomi Norman, the AJA Editor-in-Chief. It should come as no surprise that I am disappointed by this decision. As an AIA Academic Trustee, I feel it is incumbent upon me to continue to work within the framework of the AIA's governing structure so I will not comment on ongoing discussions as the Institute faces the important issues surrounding the dissemination of scholarship in a digital age. I do encourage interested parties to read Dr. Norman's letter. It is a public document that captures a moment in time as learned societies negotiate this new territory. In terms of the MCRSR, the decision, which is in the process of being put into effect, may lead to a change in the URL for no. 4, K. Greene's article in AJA 111 (2007).

Mediterranean Ceramics Reference Stability Report, Number 3
[Updated to confirm that no. 3 is still available and to fix the URL of no. 13.]
The MCRSR first appeared in October. For the third edition, I am once again making additions, nos. 13 and 14. Thirteen is an an inscribed pot published by the Inscriptions of Aphrodisias project. Fourteen is the XML version of the same. It will be interesting to see if one URL is more stable than the other. Gabriel Bodard suggested that I list this item.
I intend to get to 20 URLs total and am happy to consider other suggestions. Over the course of this month I am going to look for potential additions from North Africa, Eastern Europe, and the east coast of the Mediterranean.
There have been no changes to the 12 URLs listed last month. At the time of writing, I am unable to connect to the server at lattara.net (no. 3 below) but this is probably due to a temporary glitch. I'll update this post when either I can get through or I determine that the resource is gone or has been moved.

Mediterranean Ceramics Reference Stability Report
Archaeologists working with Mediterranean ceramics require access both to information about objects and to secondary literature. This post initiates a project to track the ability of scholars using digital resources to cite stable references to digital versions of books and journals as well as to online catalogs of object images and descriptions. The list of 10 digital resources will be repeated early each month with a report on any changes to the URLs used to access them.
