This congress takes place every other year and is the platform for all archaeologists worldwide to present the current results of their research in and on the Near East. The timeframe comprises the Prehistoric Period, the Bronze and Iron Ages as well as the Islamic Period; the geographical frame spans the area from Western Turkey to Afghanistan, and from Georgia to Yemen. Since researchers come from 35 countries, they summarize their latest discoveries mostly in English. The ICAANE proceedings give a state of the art-insight into current research methods and problems of Near Eastern Archaeology. Volume 2, edited by Adelheid Otto, Michael Herles, Kai Kaniuth, Lorenz Korn and Anja Heidenreich, comprises c. 40 field reports and 16 contributions on Islamic archaeology. 2020 2020 9783447113670 Harrassowitz Verlag 10.13173/9783447113670 https://www.harrassowitz-verlag.de/isbn_9783447113670.ahtml Philippe Quenet Safar’s excavations at Eridu in the 1940s have demonstrated that monumental buildings topped the latest discovered terraces in the ‘Temple Sounding’, dated to the Uruk Period. Hitherto unpublished artefacts kept at the British Museum, found during the 1854 and 1919 seasons at Eridu by Taylor and Hall respectively, allow for a more precise description of their lavish decoration. 2020 2020 341 348 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10.13173/9783447113670.341 https://www.harrassowitz-verlag.de/isbn_9783447113670.ahtml http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctv10tq3zv.32
