In the way that NABU (Nouvelles Assyriologiques Brèves et Utilitaires) provides up-to-the-minute information for epigraphers, so archaeologists need a forum for the quick exchange of ideas and presentation of results from excavations. Ash-sharq is intended to meet this need. The journal will appear twice a year, this year in April and July.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Ash-sharq: Bulletin of the Ancient Near East – Archaeological, Historical and Societal Studies}, author={Battini, Laura}, year={2017}, month={Oct.}, pages={iii} }
