ASOR ANNUAL MEETING

NEW EDITOR FOR ASOR MONOGRAPH SERIES

On January 1, 2021, Jennie Ebeling (Department of Archaeology and Art History, University of Evansville) assumed the editorship of ASOR’s Archaeological Report Series (ASOR-ARS), replacing Hanan Charaf, who edited the series for the previous six years. Jennie wishes to thank Hanan for her excellent work as ASOR-ARS editor and looks forward to working with chair of the ASOR Publications Committee Kevin McGeough, editor of the Annual of ASOR (AASOR) series William Caraher, and colleagues who are interested in publishing the results of their fieldwork with ASOR. She is particularly interested in working to develop ASOR’s digital publication program and looks forward to exploring new possibilities for archaeological site publication.

ASOR’s Archaeological Report Series, whose first published volume appeared in 1991, is devoted to the publication of:

  • final excavation reports
  • surveys
  • ethnoarchaeological fieldwork

All time periods are considered for publication and excavation projects need not be ASOR-affiliated. ARS will continue to publish works on those regions ASOR has been historically involved with, but will also seek novel scholarship on regions and topics beyond the boundaries of its traditional mandate, and of interest to its growing and diverse membership. There are no length requirements for ARS and volumes are not published on any fixed schedule. The most recent volume, ARS 27, Caesarea Maritima Excavations in the Old City 1989-2003 Conducted by the University of Maryland and the University of Haifa, Final Reports, Volume 1: The Temple Platform (Area TP), Neighboring Quarters (Area TPS and Z), and the Inner Harbor Quays (Area I): Hellenistic Evidence, King Herod’s Harbor Temple, Intermediate Occupation, and the Octagonal Harbor Church (edited by Kenneth G. Holum), was published in November 2020.

ARS also publishes the CAARI Monographs, a sub-series dedicated to Cyprus. This sub-series may include conference proceedings, final excavation reports, and essays pertaining to the history and archaeology of Cyprus. Cyprus and the Balance of Empires: Art and Archaeology from Justinian I to the Coeur de Lion is the most recent CAARI Monograph and is available for purchase through the ISD website.

Information on the submission process can be found on the ASOR website.
For further information, please contact Jennie at jennie.ebeling@gmail.com.

ANNUAL OF ASOR NEWS

Last year, Bill Caraher took over the editorship of the Annual of ASOR (AASOR) from Kevin McGeough, who took on the position of Chair of the ASOR Committee on Publications. With his continued support and encouragement and the collaboration of the Committee on Publications and of Jennie Ebeling, the new editor of the ARS, the Annual of ASOR embarks upon its second century of publication as a meaningful contributor to ASOR’s mission.

The Annual of ASOR was first published in 1920 making it ASOR’s oldest continuing publication, although its role has changed dramatically since its inception. Originally, AASOR published articles that would now be published in BASOR or JCS. Later, it became a venue for the presentation of site reports and cuneiform tablets (specifically the Nuzi materials). Both of these types of publications are now more appropriate for ARS or the JCS Supplemental Series.

In recent years, a variety of materials have been offered as AASOR volumes – festschriften, collections of essays, final reports, and the results of historic projects. Given its eclectic past contents and the mandates of ASOR’s other series and journals, now is a good time to clarify the mandate of the Annual. The defining character of the Annual is its flexibility. Over the last decade, this has allowed us to concentrate on a few key areas and AASOR has become a suitable location for:

  • Specialist studies that are perhaps too long or otherwise unsuitable for journal publication.
  • Publications of legacy material from projects that are no longer active in the field or in the regular publication of results.
  • Collections of articles on topics of interest to ASOR members and the discipline of archaeology more broadly.

As AASOR enters its second century of publishing, we’re particularly interested in publishing works that explore new approaches to archaeological publishing including publications that include digital data, novel interpretative strategies, and new ways of narrating the process of archaeological knowledge making.
