Enki & Ptah. Journal of Technology and Trade in Ancient Egypt and Western Asia 

Enki & Ptah. Journal of Technology and Trade in Ancient Egypt and Western Asia is a scientific journal published once a year by the Milano University Press, within the disciplines of Egyptology and Near Eastern studies, focused on technology, science, crafts, exchange and commercial interactions in ancient Egypt, Nubia, the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia. Enki & Ptah. Journal of Technology and Trade in Ancient Egypt and Western Asia accepts contributions in English dealing with archaeology, history, and philology, and intends to fill a gap in national and international scientific journals in relation to thematically oriented products.  

The journal offers an environment specifically connected to the cultures of Egypt and Western Asia within the international research on the technology, economy, and trade in the ancient world.
