[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]ASOR’s Trustee Nominations Committee is seeking names of people who are willing to be considered for nomination to the ASOR Board of Trustees (Classes of 2020 and 2021). The committee seeks individuals who are willing to consider service as either Individual Trustees or as Institutional Representative Trustees. We anticipate one opening for an individual trustee in the Class of 2020 (2019-2020) and openings for two individual trustees and two institutional trustees for three-year terms as members of the Class of 2021 (2019-2021). Any full ASOR member may be considered for nomination as an Individual Trustee, while only institutional representatives of ASOR Member Schools may be considered for nomination as an Institutional Representative Trustee.The ASOR Board of Trustees sets the direction for ASOR and provides oversight for our organization. We encourage you to consider serving on the board, or to share names of people who you think would be a good fit. Among other responsibilities, members of the Board agree to attend two meetings each year at their own expense, to participate thoughtfully in the governance process, and to contribute financially to ASOR. At this stage, nominations may be made simply by sending the person’s name and email address to Marta Ostovich in the ASOR office. Questions about service on the ASOR board or about the selection process may be addressed to Ann-Marie Knoblauch, chair of the nominations committee. Self-nominations are encouraged. The ASOR office will contact all nominees to describe the responsibilities in greater detail, and to make sure that the nominee is willing to have his or her name discussed by the Trustee Nominations Committee.
After the Committee selects individuals for nomination, the election will take place by electronic ballot during October. ASOR is once again conducting online voting to ensure that more of our members are able to participate in this important process. The ASOR office will work with any person who is not able to complete an electronic ballot to make sure that everyone is included.
Members of The Trustee Nominations Committee include Ann-Marie Knoblauch (chair) and Theodore Burgh. In order to receive full consideration by the committee, nominations must be submitted to info@asor.org by September 27, 2018 by October 5, 2018 (extended deadline).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column border_color=”rgba(170,170,170,0.01)” width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1496684098866{margin-right: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;border-bottom-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;}”][vc_wp_posts title=”BROWSE THE NEWS ARCHIVE” number=”4″][/vc_column][vc_column border_color=”rgba(170,170,170,0.01)” width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1496684008271{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;border-bottom-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;}”][vc_column_text]Tweets by ASOResearch [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research (BASOR) is a leader among peer-reviewed academic journals of the ancient Near East. For nearly a century, since 1919 when William F. Albright originally founded it as the Bulletin of the American School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem, BASOR has served as a highly respected interdisciplinary English-language forum for scholars worldwide in subject areas such as archaeology, art, anthropology, archaeometry, bioarchaeology, archaeozoology, biblical studies, history, literature, philology, geography, and epigraphy. The journal contains articles written by leading scholars and acknowledged experts in the ancient world that cover a geographical region from Israel and Canaan to ancient Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, and Egypt and a chronological range from the Paleolithic period through Islamic times. The journal appears bi-annually, in May and November.
Marta Ostovich began working at ASOR in March 2018, as an Office Assistant. Starting July 1, she assumed a new role as Manager of Programs. Marta will be relocating to Alexandria later in September, and she will work with ASOR Executive Director Andy Vaughn with the transition from Boston to ASOR’s new home and with hiring and training of new staff members. Her duties as Manager of Programs include assisting with fellowships, donor relations, membership fulfillment, planning and support for the Annual Meeting, and website maintenance.
University’s archaeological field school at Torre d’en Galmes. In addition to lecturing and assisting with the field school curriculum, she was responsible for supervising both excavation and laboratory work at the site, which was occupied from the Iron Age through Medieval periods. One of the most noteworthy finds was an in-tact kitchen from the Medieval Muslim (13th century) occupation of the site-the first of its kind on the island. Marta assisted with designing an exhibition of the finds from this kitchen for the local museum. She has also been part of archaeological excavations in Italy and Greece and traveled to Montenegro and Vietnam for cultural heritage work. She continues to be interested in the relationship between cultural tourism and archaeological sites.
