Dear Mar Shiprim readers, we hope that you have spent a nice and and relaxing summer time, as much as it has been possible.
Directly from Jack M. Sasson’s Agade mailing list, here we offer you a list of recent publications in the fields of Assyriology and Mesopotamian Archaeology. Please note that this list only includes titles that have been notified between July, 1st and September, 30th 2020.
Do write to us, at stefania.ermidoro@iaassyriology.com, if we have overlooked a publication or if you are aware of any recently-advertised title that did not appear in Agade and should be added to this list.
Thanks!
