The Ancient Near East Seminar Series is the weekly term-time event for those interested in the Ancient Near East.
With visiting speakers coming from universities, museums and other institutions from around the world, it is hoped that these evenings will offer a focus for the wide range of Assyriological and Ancient Near Eastern archaeological projects across the University, build links with other research centres, and offer a chance for all to see the incredible work that is being carried out in this vast and hugely important field of research.
Evening lectures take place on Tuesday evenings at 5.00pm.
Future events will be announced here.
