About Ancient Near East Today
The Ancient Near East Today (ANE Today) is ASOR’s open-access digital platform for public scholarship, disseminating the latest research, insights, and news about the ancient Near East and beyond. Free to everyone, ANE Today constitutes an important part of ASOR’s mission to encourage public understanding of the cultures and history of the Near East from earliest times until today.
At the core of ANE Today are short, informative articles by emerging and established scholars discussing a variety of topics related to the ancient world. These articles are aimed at non-specialists, providing the public, students, and researchers alike with snapshots of the latest research and thinking about the ancient world. The geographic scope is broad, covering the region from the Atlantic to Afghanistan and anywhere that ancient Near Eastern materials and culture have made an impact.
ANE Today also publishes a biweekly newsletter.
