Rescuing Iraqi Archaeological Reports
The preparation of three monographs and several articles in English and Arabic based on reports and notes from unpublished excavations and surveys carried out in Iraq during the past 30 years.
In this project three Iraqi and three American archeologists will cooperate to produce monographs and articles in Arabic and English based on important excavations and surveys carried out by the Iraqi participants over the past forty years. These publications will recreate, in great part, manuscripts lost in the looting of the editorial offices of the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities in April 2003.
