CALL:
Several recent monographs have reinvigorated the discussion of the Amorites. These studies are noteworthy because they approach the topic from a variety of available data, including linguistic evidence, historical sources, and material culture. This session investigates questions of “the Amorites” from the perspective of historical, linguistic, archaeological, and visual art, and invites scholars who work in the entire region between the southern Levant and Anatolia, and from the Mediterranean to Bahrain. It provides a forum for scholars from an array of specialties and aims to facilitate inter-disciplinary conversations about the issues surrounding “the Amorites” in the ancient Near East. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is February 15, 2020. Abstracts (max 250 words) must be submitted electronically through ASOR’s Abstracts Online Management System at https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/login?redirect=/stages/1591/submissions/new selecting “The Amorites: Culture, History, and Archaeology” in the session field.
