The Queens of the Arabs During the Neo-Assyrian Period By Ellie Bennett

The title “Queen of the Arabs” is applied in Neo-Assyrian texts to five women from the Arabian Peninsula. These women led armies, offered tribute, and held religious roles in their communities from 738 to approximately 651 BCE. This book discusses what the title meant to the women who carried it and to the Assyrians who wrote about them.

Whilst colleagues are making travel plans for conferences, please make some time for our workshop. The goal is to develop some 'Best Practice' guidelines for digital projects in the Ancient Near East, and this workshop will act as a brainstorm of the issues, concerns, and existing guidelines fellow researchers are already using.

The good news is ASOR is hybrid this year, so you can attend from wherever you are!

In his new Netflix “documentary” #AncientApocalypse, Graham Hancock has declared war on archaeologists

His rhetoric sows distrust in experts, and #Atlantis conspiracy theories promote white supremacy

Spectacular new dinosaur tracks we described this year from Lesotho. These are natural casts (sediment infills), as the layer the dinosaurs walked on has already eroded away.
