Abbreviations of periodicals and series usually follow the recommendations of the German Archaeological Institut (Deutsches Archäologisches Institut). The most notable exception is ADAJ (instead of AAJ) for the „Annual of the Department of Antiquities of Jordan“. Substantial bibliographies on different aspects of Nabataean history and archaeology can be found in the following publications (in chronological order):

• Crawford, G. A., Petra and the Nabataeans. A Bibliography (Lanham 2003).
• Hackl, U. – Jenni, H. – Schneider, Ch., with contributions by Keller, D., Quellen zur Geschichte der Nabatäer. Textsammlung mit Übersetzung und Kommentar (Freiburg/Göttingen 2003).

The areas you can search with prefixes are: id, abbreviation, author, title, subtitle, keywords, year and date.
