Ancient Near East Today, Vol III, No. 2


Welcome to The Ancient Near East Today, Vol. III, No. 2! This month, we’re delighted to take you from Iran to the Aegean, and from the questions raised by unprovenanced objects to the relationship between the Bible and archaeology.


We begin with Ralph Hawkins asking about the relationship between the Bible and archaeology. Benjamin Foster then looks at the difficult problem of acquiring and publishing unprovenanced cuneiform tablets. Helen Dawson discusses the colonization of Mediterranean islands, and Megan Cifarelli examines the difficult question of identifying gender using archaeological evidence. Finally, we’re pleased to present field reports from students who have received ASOR scholarships and to highlight a campaign to support students in the upcoming year.
