Open Access Publications: Urkesh Electronic Library

 [First posted in AWOL 24 July 2009, Updated 12 June 2012]

Urkesh Electronic Library
Editor: Giorgio Buccellati
Associate Editor: Fanxi Xu

We include here the electronic version of titles published by members of the staff or by colleagues who had access to primary material from the excavations. "Electronic" means that these are simply mirror copies of paper editions, with no claim at having been originally conceived as digital. A properly digital publication of the data is given in the full Urkesh website, for now available through a password only to members of the staff.

For some of the titles published in languages other than English, we offer here the English version.

An intermediate series was offered through the IIMAS Digital Library
