摘要
The JOURNAL OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS(JAC)is published annually in two fascicles by the Institute for the History of Ancient Civilizations(IHAC,Northeast Normal University,Changchun,Jilin Province,People’s Republic of China).The aim of JAC is to provide a forum for the discussion of various aspects of the cultural and historical processes in the Ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean world,encompassing studies of individual civilizations as well as common elements,contacts,and interactions among them(e.g.,in such traditional fields as Assyriology,Egyptology,Hittitology,Classics,Byzantine Studies,and Sinology,among others).Hence,we publish the work of international scholars while also providing a showcase for the finest Chinese scholarship,and so welcome articles dealing with history,philology,art,archaeology,and linguistics that are intended to illuminate the material culture and society of the Ancient Near East,the Mediterranean region,and ancient China.Articles discussing other cultures will be considered for publication only if they are clearly relevant to the ancient Mediterranean world,the Near East,and China.Information about new discoveries and current scholarly events is also welcome.Publishers are encouraged to send review copies of books in the relevant fields.
