Friends of ASOR are people who are interested in archaeological and historical research in the eastern Mediterranean. Founded in 1900, ASOR supports and encourages the study of the cultures and history of the Near East, from the earliest times to the present. We invite you to register today so that you can join our team and receive exclusive benefits (The Ancient Near East Today and the Resource Page).
This weekly e-magazine disseminates ideas, insights and discoveries to Friends of ASOR. You can become a Friend for FREE, you only need to register. Appearing every Thursday, ANE Today features contributions from both emerging and established academics from around the world together with a round-up of links to news and resources. The ANE Today covers the entire Near East, and each issue presents discussions ranging from the state of biblical archaeology to archaeology after the Arab Spring. Sign up today for free, and be a part of this community of discovery!
Friends of ASOR present the next webinar in the 2024-2025 season on December 4th, 2024, at 7:00 pm ET, presented by Dr. Sara E. Cole. Registration is free and open to the public thanks to our generous sponsors.
The Friends of ASOR Resource Page is an online resource for all things ancient Near Eastern. The FOA Resource Page brings together far-flung links to libraries, publications, museums, exhibitions, projects, and much more. This page will be a prime destination for scholars, students, and lay people who want a master portal into the world of the ancient Near East. The page is still under development, so take the opportunity to tell us what kind of online resources would be useful to you. In the meanwhile, please explore the videos compiled on the Multimedia Resources.
