Résumé / Abstract : During the last decades, the Arabian Peninsula has emerged as one of the pivotal regions of archaeological research in the Ancient World. Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy is a forum for the publication of studies in the archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, and history of Ancient Arabia. Its scope covers present-day Saudi-Arabia, the Gulf states, Oman, Yemen, and adjacent regions, from prehistory through Antiquity to the early Islamic period. In addition, studies touching on different parts of the region and their relations with neighbouring areas such as Africa, the Levant, Mesopotamia, Iran, and the Indus Valley are invited. Studies pertaining more directly to these areas, however, will only be considered if the link to the Arabian peninsula is clear and of central importance. Both original articles and short communications in English, French, and German are published. Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy is essential reading for all archaeologists, historians, philologists, and numismatists concerned with the Ancient Near East. It is also of interest to students of Classical Antiquity, Egyptology, and South Asian archaeology. We hope that the articles published in this journal will enrich our understanding of Arabia from the period of its earliest human occupation to the Middle Ages, and that existence of a forum for studies on the Arabian Peninsula will give added impetus to research in this field.
