AWOL - The Ancient World Online: Open Access Journal: Annuaire du Musée Gréco-Romain d'Alexandrie

This project began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I have decided to move it to its own space here beginning in 2009.

The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.

The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.

The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World was founded by Shelby White and the Leon Levy Foundation.

Much of what appears here will also appear in Abzu, and a newsfeed from there is included below
