Although the Western exploration of the Arabian peninsula is a
phenomenon dating back several centuries, the systematic archaeological
investigation of the region is relatively recent. Since the 1960s,
however, more and more work of an archaeological and epigraphic nature
has been concentrated on the countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain,
Qatar, Oman, the U.A.E, and Yemen, and Arabian archaeology has emerged
as an important sub-discipline of Near Eastern archaeology.This series is devoted to the publication of primary research in the
countries of the Arabian peninsula, and aims to publish studies which
extend in time from prehistory to the Islamic era. |

Akademievorhaben Turfanforschung |
|
The task of the Turfan research group lies in continuing the edition of the
Turkish and Iranian parts of the Berlin Turfan Collection (approx. 12000
fragments). Edition of these texts entails establishing a critical text
(sometimes compiled), together with the provision of translation and
commentary. |
| Editorial responsibility: Koninklijke
Academie van België |
| The series is an initiative of the Koninklijke
Academie van België with the purpose of creating a long-term project of
annotated editions and re-editions of papyrological archives and dossiers.
The focal point of the project is the re-edition of the Petrie collection.
Together with the Zenon archive it constitutes a major source for the
study of Ptolemaic Egypt in the third Century B.C. |

| This series publishes research into the
antiquity of the Indian Ocean (history, archaeology, philology) from the
very first populations to the arrival of the Portuguese in the fifteenth
century. |
| Editorial responsibility: A. van
Tongerloo |
| This series examines the civilisations along
the Silk Road from Europe to East Asia and their characteristic
archaeological, artistic, historical, linguistic, numismatic,
philosophical and religious aspects. The exchanges that arose along the
Silk Road produced intercultural outcomes that go beyond mere syncretism
since they generated phenomena that integrated art, religion and
philosophy at a deep level. |
| Editorial responsibility: Centre for
Interdisciplinary Archaeological Research (Leuven) |
|
The series intends to report on broad studies of specific topics
concerning the site of Sagalassos, situated near Aglasun, and its
environment, particularly where these topics have an application and
relevance to the larger Eastern Meditteranean region. The topics covered
are archaeology, ancient history, architecture, archaeometry,
palaeobotany, geoarchaeology, geomorphology and anthropology. |
| Editorial responsibility: European
Centre for Upper Mesopotamian Studies |
| The series Subartu is devoted to Upper
Mesopotamia from prehistory to the present day (in relation to
geography, environment, history, archaeology, epigraphy, sociology). If
any region can be considered to be the cradle of European civilisation
it is Upper Mesopotamia, located in present-day Turkey, Syria and Iraq.
It is the land between the Tigris and the Euphrates which witnessed the
emergence of the most ancient villages and cities. Neglected for many
years by scholars who concentrated instead on the Sumerian region, this
other Mesopotamia has been a worldwide focus for research for some ten
years now. Over thirty national archaeological missions have set up camp
on sites crucial for understanding the origins of European culture. |
