From its earliest days, 17吃瓜has sponsored projects central to its mission to initiate, encourage, and support research into, and public understanding of, the history and cultures of the Near East and wider Mediterranean. In 1901, a scant year after 17吃瓜was founded, we sponsored our first archaeological excavation, in Sidon, and 17吃瓜continued to sponsor excavations in the Southern Levant, Iraq, Turkey, Cyprus 鈥� and even as far west as Carthage 鈥� over the next seven decades. Today, over one hundred fieldwork projects听in the eastern Mediterranean and North Africa鈥� both ongoing excavations and fieldwork publication projects 鈥� are affiliated with ASOR.
ASOR鈥檚 publication program also has a long and venerable history, dating back to the publication of the first volume of the Bulletin of the American Society of Overseas Research (BASOR) in 1919. Today, 17吃瓜still publishes BASOR, as well as two other journals (Near Eastern Archaeology and the Journal of Cuneiform Studies), three monograph series (the Annual of the American Society of Overseas Research, or AASOR; the Archaeological Reports Series, or ARS; and the Journal of Cuneiform Studies Supplemental Series), and two e-newsletters (News@ASOR and ).
More recently, 17吃瓜has launched several new initiatives. The 17吃瓜Cultural Heritage Initiatives program is devoted to protecting, preserving, and presenting to the public the historic and cultural heritage of the Near East and the wider Mediterranean and to raise awareness of its degradation. The 17吃瓜Archives project is dedicated to protecting and preserving ASOR鈥檚 own heritage, by cataloguing and safely housing papers, photographs, and other materials that document ASOR鈥檚 twentieth and twenty-first century contributions to the study of the archaeology and history of the Near East and wider Mediterranean.
The Women of 17吃瓜map is a resource developed by ASOR鈥檚 Initiative on the Status of Women that displays the locations of ASOR鈥檚 women members from around the globe, including the universities, museums, or other organizations where they might work and the sites at which they might excavate. The is an open, interactive website that researchers can use to submit and find information about produced in the Levant from the Neolithic era (c. 5500 B.C.E.) through the Ottoman period (c. 1920 C.E.).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column border_color=”rgba(170,170,170,0.01)” width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1490571214409{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_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_1490225688999{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !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_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”ca-sidebar-99363″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
