JANES - Journal of the Ancient Near Eastern Society
ISSN: 0010-2016
JANES, the Journal of the Ancient Near Eastern Society, was founded in 1968 at Columbia University, and has been housed at the Jewish Theological Seminary since 1982. Over these approximately forty years 30 volumes have been published under the editorship of former JTS professor Ed Greenstein and JTS professor David Marcus. The volumes include approximately three hundred and fifty articles written by over two hundred scholars and students from all over the world. The impressive array of scholars that have contributed articles to these volumes includes well-known names such as G. R. Driver, H. L. Ginsberg, Jonas Greenfield, William Hallo, Thorkild Jacobsen, Jacob Milgrom, A. L. Oppenheim, to mention but a few. Over the years there have been five special issues celebrating JTS and Columbia scholars Elias Bickerman, Meir Bravmann, Theodor Gaster, Moshe Held, and Yochanan Muffs. Articles have been written on all aspects of the Bible and Ancient Near East covering areas such as art history, archaeology, anthropology, language, linguistics, philology, and religion. There are articles on Assyriology, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Hittite, and all areas of Hebrew and Aramaic and on almost every book of the Bible. Manuscripts should be composed according to the SBL style sheet and sent to the Editors, c/o Ed Greenstein (greenstein.ed@gmail.com)

The Archaeology of Fazzan, Volume 1

Edited by D. J. Mattingly

‘An extraordinary civilisation emerged on the very margins of the Classical world in the remote Libyan desert. This is a vital study of a society at the crossroads between the Mediterranean and continental Africa.’ (Professor Michael Fulford, University of Reading)

‘The Garamantes have emerged from the shadows. This study of the Fazzan from remotest antiquity to the present day is striking for the extent and range of the enquiry, the meticulousness of its documentation, and the clarity of its exposition. The completed volumes will immediately become the standard work on the region, and seem unlikely ever to be superseded.’ (Professor Roger Wilson, University of Nottingham)

414 pages, 460 figs (many in colour); 31 tables; Arabic summary.

Excavations at Sidi Khrebish, Benghazi (Berenice) Vol. 2

Excavations at Sidi Khrebish, Benghazi (Berenice) Vol. 2
G. Barker, A. Bonanno J.A. Riley

This volume contains an important report on the environmental evidence from Berenice, discussed in the wider context of Hellenistic and Roman agriculture in Cyrenaica. Catalogues and discussions of 40 sculptural and 159 terracotta fragments from the site are then followed by a major report on the amphorae, both local and imported and all the other coarse pottery with quantified tabulation. The pottery typology has great significance for the whole Mediterranean region, reflected in an important series of distribution maps.

De Africa Romaque: Merging Cultures Across North Africa

Edited by Niccolò Mugnai, Julia Nikolaus, Nick Ray
 

When the Roman Empire progressively expanded its influence over the North African continent, it encountered a very heterogeneous mix of peoples with a long and diverse history. This collection of papers from the conference De Africa Romaque: Merging Cultures Across North Africa (Leicester, 2013), explores the mutual relationships between North African societies and Rome, within this context. Moving away from traditional narratives of dominance and resistance, the discussions focus on bringing the local peoples of North Africa and their varied cultural features back into the fore.
