Open Access Journal: ARWA Journal New Perspectives on Western & Central Asian Archaeology

Arwa Journal Cover

This is the research journal of the International Association for Archaeological Research in Western & Central Asia (ARWA; https://arwa-international.org/), referred to as the 'ARWA Journal.' This journal showcases archaeological research that takes place within or otherwise intersects with the geographical extent covered by the ARWA organization: from the Southern Balkans and Northern Pontic to the Arabian Peninsula, and from the Mediterranean to the edges of Central Asia and the Greater Indus. The ARWA Journal is published Open Access as a volume of articles each year, covering all time periods of past human activities in this area.　
We invite submissions of articles about any topic related to archaeological research in the ARWA region, including synthetic research and field reports, theory and method advances, perspective papers, technical and scientific analyses, heritage studies, or links with philology, cultural anthropology, history, geography, etc. All submissions are subject to a double-blind peer-review process. Thanks to volunteers, the ARWA Journal is currently Diamond Open Access, which means that publication is free for authors, and all articles are available online for anyone to read for free. Research articles are typically 6,000–8,000 words in length, but shorter or longer contributions will be considered, when appropriate to the topic.

Open Access Monograph Series: ISAC Seminars (ISACS)

[First posted in AWOL 30 October 2015, updated 14 November 2026 (corrected URLs)]

ISAC Seminars (ISACS)
ISSN: 1559-2944
The Oriental Institute yearly appoints a Postdoctoral Fellow for a twenty-four month (non-renewable) appointment. Postdoctoral Fellows are selected from an international pool of applicants, based on their proposals to organize a two-day conference at the Oriental Institute. The conferences address important theoretical or methodological issues in the field of ancient studies — archaeological, text-based, and/or art historical avenues of research. The Oriental Institute encourages cross-disciplinary proposals that deal with the ancient Near East (including Egypt) or that compare the Near East with other cultural areas. The conferences generally have 12–16 participants, and take place annually in the beginning of March during the first year of the Postdoctoral Fellow’s appointment. Following the conference, the Postdoctoral Fellow assembles and edits the proceedings for publication in the Oriental Institute Seminar series. During the second year of the appointment, the Postdoctoral Fellow will assist in organizing a series of faculty seminars at the Oriental Institute and other activities that build interaction and collaboration within the scholarly community. The Postdoctoral Fellow is expected to pursue his or her own research while in residence and to interact closely with the Oriental Institute community. The Postdoctoral Fellow may also, if he or she wishes, teach a course while in residence if approved by the OI/NELC faculty. [Source]

Lege Josephum Manuscript Database

Flavius Josephus 

The works of the ancient Jewish historian Flavius Josephus were a central part of the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean world in the Middle Ages, available in at least ten languages and with a profound role in diverse historical and religious traditions. Josephus' major works – the Jewish War (Bellum Judaicum), Jewish Antiquities (Antiquitates Judaicae), and Against Apion (Contra Apionem) – were unique sources for biblical history, Second-Temple Judaism, and the topography of the Holy Land, and as such were foundational for Jewish and Christian apologetics. Within western Europe Josephus seems to have enjoyed greater popularity than any other classical historian, where he was known to Christians through a series of late-antique Latin translations and adaptions, which remain largely unedited and surprisingly understudied (see further About).

The website offers an online catalogue of the more than 300 manuscripts containing the Latin translations of the works of Flavius Josephus enabling the user to understand how his texts were read, transformed, and embedded in medieval Latin culture. It is part of an interdisciplinary project at the University of Bern on the reception of Josephus in medieval Latin Europe (further information here). The project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), will run from 2018 to 2022. For more information on the 'Josephus Latinus', the catalogue, and how to use it click About

Romanization – Romanisation?!

Romanization – Romanisation?!
Caterina Maderna (Hrsg.), Pascal Hoffmann  (Hrsg.) 

Archäologie – Kultur – Theorie: Heidelberger Beiträge zur klassischen Archäologie

Im Dezember 2017 fand in Heidelberg eine internationale Konferenz zum Stand der Romanisierungsdebatte statt. Der Fokus lag v.a. auf den römischen Provinzen Achaia, Epirus und Macedonia, die Beiträge widmeten sich aber auch theoretischen Themen und angrenzenden Regionen. Während der Begriff der Romanisierung vor allem im ‚provinzialrömischen‘ Kontext aufgegriffen wurde, ist das komplexe Verhältnis von römischer und griechischer Identität aus verschiedenen Gründen lange vernachlässigt worden. Die hier in Auswahl enthaltenen Konferenzbeiträge gehen dieses Missverhältnis an und beleuchten die Diversität dieses Problemfeldes in Skulptur, Epigraphik, Stadtplanung, Architektur und Politik.
