Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy or
AAE is a
scholarly journal for articles relating to the ancient
Arabian Peninsula region.
Aims and scope
In recent years the Arabian peninsula has emerged as one of the major new frontiers of archaeological research in the Old World.
is a forum for the publication of studies in the archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, and early history of
Bahrain,
Kuwait,
Oman,
Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, the
United Arab Emirates, and
Yemen.
Articles and short communications in
English,
French, and
German are published, and may treat with matters ranging from
prehistory to the Islamic era. Also, 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, are considered only if the link to the Arabian peninsula is clear and of central importance.
Contributions concerned with inscriptions from the Arabian peninsula, whether recorded in the field or housed in public and private collections around the world, are also welcomed.
