BULLETIN OF ASOR (BASOR) - American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR)

SHARE

The Bulletin of ASOR (BASOR) is a leader among peer-reviewed academic journals of the ancient Near East. Since 1919, BASOR has served as a highly respected interdisciplinary English-language forum for scholars worldwide in subjects pertaining to the archaeological and history of the ancient Near Eastern world. The journal publishes articles by emerging and established scholars of the ancient world focusing on the regions of the Levant, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, Anatolia, Iran, Caucasus, and Egypt with a chronological range from the Paleolithic through the early modern period.

BASOR appears bi-annually, in May and November. Submissions of particular interest include articles that present original research, novel archaeological interpretations, theoretical analysis, and contributions based on innovative approaches to the study of the ancient world. As such, submissions that present excavation results or catalogs of objects and materials without an accompanying substantial analytical or methodological discussion will not be considered. The journal also contains reviews and commentaries on the latest books. Suggestions are also welcomed for occasional theme issues relating to topics of broad scholarly interest.
