The Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna is proud to convene the 12th ICAANE from 14th to 18th April 2020. The full text of this Second Circular is online on the Congress website. We look forward to hosting you in a multidisciplinary environment pursuing interconnections (geographical and chronological as well) and inclusivity at all levels: the congress themes (which were detailed in the First Circular) have been selected in an attempt at representing the current breadth and urgency of global challenges and research perspectives. The Organizing Committee invites all scholars working on subjects relating to Near Eastern Archaeology (from Central Asia to the Eastern Mediterranean) to participate in the 12th International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (12th ICAANE). The participation of students and of colleagues from the Near East is especially encouraged. Our e-mail contact address is 12icaane@unibo.it. General information.
