Athirat

Athirat: Journal of Ancient Arabia is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal published by the Hassan bin Mohammed Center for Historical Studies (HBMHC) in collaboration with Brill. The Journal is dedicated to the field of the study of Ancient Arabia covering all of its subdisciplines and approaches (in terms of theories, methodologies, approaches, and findings). Athirat welcomes a wide range of historical, archaeological, epigraphic, rock art, linguistic, textual, philological, social, cultural, economic and intellectual approaches. The Journal prioritizes the publication of the most recent epigraphic and rock art discoveries in Arabia. Athirat also encourages interdisciplinary studies that synthesize the aforementioned approaches. The Journal's chronological remit extends from pre-historic times to the early Islamic period (seventh century CE), and covers the Arabian Peninsula geographically defined, from Yemen and Oman in the south to the Syrian desert in the north, and occasionally adjacent areas.
