Got a question? Want to find out more about a subject that interests you? Feel free to ask one of our participating archaeologists and scholars. Choose from the listings below and submit your question by e mail. (A few courtesies: Please remember that ASOR is a scholarly society dedicated to solid research--not pseudo-archaeology or wild theories like space aliens. Also, while we are happy to help you learn more about the subjects we love, we are not here to do your homework for you.)
