The Roman frontier with Persia in North-Eastern Mesopotamia : fortresses and roads around Singara /
:
This volume investigates the Roman city of Singara and the fortifications and roads in the surrounding area. The Rome/Persia frontier has been little studied, in part because of the difficulty of access for scholars, but was of great importance because it separated the two major civilisations of the early first millennium CE.

Iron oxide rock artefacts in Mesopotamia c. 2600-1200 BC : an interdisciplinary study of hematite, goethite and magnetite objects /
:
The flourishing civilisations of Mesopotamia imported all kinds of materials from the surrounding regions. Iron oxide rock was very popular for weight stones and cylinder seals around 2000 BC. This research aims to determine the region of origin for the raw material, what made people start using iron oxide rock, and what led them to stop using it.

Pottery from the University of California, Berkeley excavations in the area of the Maški Gate (MG22), Nineveh, 1989-1990 /
:
This work presents the pottery from the UC Berkeley excavations in 1989 and 1990. Nineveh is one of the longest occupied cities in the world, with a record of habitation extending back to at least the middle of the 7th millennium BC, continuing in an almost uninterrupted sequence through today. It was one of the major urban centres in which the fundamental features of modern civilisation first emerged. Its political and religious significance - particularly during its apogee as the capital of the Assyrian Empire in the late 8th and 7th centuries BC - secured its status as a legendary metropolis in history and literature.
