This is the first report on the finds from K. Kenyon’s and J. B.
Ward-Perkins’s excavations at Sabratha from 1948-1951, and contains full
discussion and catalogues. This volume constitutes a landmark in the
study of Punic and Roman pottery from Sabratha and Tripolitania, not
only covering new dated types but also quantified studies and analysis.
It will be a lasting reference to the pottery from this area, and
invaluable for what it brings to the historical picture of this city.

This report on the British excavations at Sabratha, directed by
Kathleen Kenyon and John Ward-Perkins, uses the original records of the
excavations. The work includes chapters on the Forum, East Forum Temple,
Capitolium, Basilica/Church and Temple of Sarapis, insulae, the Severan
Monument, the Theatre, the Byzantine Defences and the Harbour, and on
the pottery. Dr Philip Kenrick has revised the structural history of
Roman Sabratha, adding much to the understanding of its origins.
This is the second part of the second volume of the first report on
the finds from K. Kenyon’s and J. B. Ward-Perkins’s excavations at
Sabratha from 1948-1951. It contains full discussion and
catalogues. Part 2 of this volume constitutes a landmark in the study of
Punic and Roman finewares from Sabratha and Tripolitania, not only
covering new dated types but also quantified studies and analyses. An
indispensable aid to all archaeologists working on classical
Mediterranean sites.

The final volume of the Archaeology of Fazzan contains reports and
analysis on a series of excavations carried out between 1997–2001 by an
Anglo-Libyan team led by Professor David Mattingly at the oasis town of
Old Jarma. The work also incorporates unpublished data from earlier
investigations at the site, notably by Charles Daniels (1965, 1969) and
Mohammed Ayoub (1962–1967). The publication is lavishly illustrated by
site plans and numerous colour photographs, many of which were taken by a
professional photographer, Toby Savage – particularly of the rich
artefact assemblages recovered.
640 pages plus 258 pages of appendices
Over 400 full-colour photographs, illustrations and plans
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

‘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)

AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved 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 at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
