CDLI
is pleased to present here the results of research in progress
submitted, for inclusion in a preprint series hosted by the project, by
experts in fields associated with Assyriology and Ancient Near Eastern
Archaeology. We anticipate that these papers in their final form will
eventually be available in journals (in some cases our own) or in edited
volumes; or will, by authors' preference, remain unpublished in the
formal sense, so that this may be a final venue for work that might
otherwise remain unnoticed in the field. Authors who are interested in
submitting contributions to the CDLP should be generally aware of the editorial policies of the journals CDLJ & CDLB; while submissions in English are preferred, CDLP does, however, accept preprints in the other major languages of academic communication. Significant
and nearly complete, or dormant research papers are particularly
welcome, regardless of their length and scope. Authors should make their
submissions in both originating text-processor/layout file, and in the
PDF format in which it will be made available here. International A4 or
US letter format are both allowed, portrait or landscape. In most cases,
if the submission is acceptable for distribution, we will merely add a
lead page of the form visible in the files listed below. We invite
interested authors to make use of this series to communicate their
research to a broader community in advance or in stead of undertaking
the rigors of a peer-reviewed standard publication, and we hope the
feedback that results from a paper’s dissemination through CDLP contributes to its ultimate impact.
A paper can be updated with a simple new submission by the
author(s); to retain a sense of the history of research, we will list
new versions one after the other with new “Date posted;” we limit such
updates to one (1) per calendar year following the initial posting. We
will not retire CDLP entries that move on to formal
publications; rather, we request that authors send us notice and
citation of the publication, that will be entered to our list for easy
reference.
The CDLP is under the editorial supervision of Bertrand Lafont (CNRS, Nanterre), to whom queries and submissions should be directed.
