Culled from the Agade mailing list for your convenience, and with Jack M. Sasson’s approval, here is a list of recent publications in the fields of Assyriology and Mesopotamian Archaeology. Please note that this list includes only titles that have been notified between April, 1st and June, 30th 2020: books that were announced before April already appeared in our previous lists of publications – do have a look at our older posts: we publish a new list every three months!
Please write to us, at stefania.ermidoro@iaassyriology.com, if we have overlooked a publication or if you are aware of any title that was not announced in Agade and should be added to the list. Thanks!
