Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to announce the launch of The Journal of Islamic Archaeology, edited by Equinox Publishing. The Editor is Prof. Bethany Walker, of the University of Bonn (Germany) and I am honoured to be a member of the editorial board.
The Journal of Islamic Archaeology is the only journal today devoted to the field of Islamic archaeology on a global scale. In the context of this journal, “Islamic archaeology” refers neither to a specific time period, nor to a particular geographical region, as Islam is global and the centre of the “Islamic world” has shifted many times over the centuries. Likewise, it is not defined by a single methodology or theoretical construct (for example; it is not the “Islamic” equivalent of “Biblical archaeology”, with an emphasis on the study of places and peoples mentioned in religious texts). The term refers to the archaeological study of Islamic societies, polities, and communities, wherever they are found. It may be considered a type of “historical” archaeology, in which the study of historically (textually) known societies can be studied through a combination of “texts and tell”.
The Journal is being launched at a time where there has never been such interest among both scholars and the informed public alike in the archaeology of Islamic societies. The last few years in particular have witnessed marked growth in the number of conferences and workshops, publications, and university programs with Islamic archaeology as a focus. Islamic archaeology courses are being offered in conjunction with Middle East Studies and Islamic art history at universities throughout North America and Europe, and comprise a field of specialization in archaeology departments in the Middle East. There is, in short, a rapidly growing readership in the field, and no specialized journal today to service it.
The range of topics invited for the journal is wide, including not only field and ceramic reports, but also studies from other disciplines that are of direct relevance to Islamic archaeology, such as historical geography, art history, history, numismatics, ethnography, and environmental studies. Some themed issues are anticipated and the Editor welcomes suggestions for these.
The first issue of the Journal will be available in April 2014. In the name of the Editor, I would like to invite you to present works in order to contribute to the diffusion of knowledge in an academic global community. I would also like to ask you to make this information arrive to anyone who might be interested in the Journal.
The official language of the Journal is English, and we would like to encourage everybody to present any work translated in that language. However, the Editor will consider each case on its own to make sure that good articles are not missed because of language problems.
I would also like to invite you to consider an institutional subscription to the Journal. It is a very interesting editorial adventure that has not parallels in scale at this point and I am sure that it you will consider taking part in it worthwhile.
Please, do contact me with suggestions or questions that you may have. My email is j.carvajallopez@sheffield.ac.uk. You can also contact the Editor if you wish so: bwalker@uni-bonn.de. The website of the journal is https://www.equinoxpub.com/journals/index.php/JIA.
I am looking forward to hearing from you in a near future.
Yours Sincerely
José C. Carvajal
Lecturer in Islamic Art and Archaeology (University College of London in Qatar)

Announcing the annual meeting of the
In 2008, the TAG-USA group was formed and an inaugural conference held at Columbia University. The conference has grown each year and now provides a vibrant link between American and European archaeologists. This year, TAG is being hosted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Come together in Urbana for the 2014 meeting, May 23 – 25! It will be an inspiring and lively yet affordable meeting in the true tradition of TAG. The plenary, scheduled for the evening of May 23rd, will be transcendent. The Saturday night dance? Not-to-be missed. Two days of break-out sessions will be featured on Saturday and Sunday. In addition, attendees can take part in two new TAG events: the first is a Friday-evening “Theoretical Bar Crawl” featuring a series of prominent archaeologists in their natural state (with a prize to the winning crawler); the second will be a “TAG Post-Mortem” session! Finally, optional tours of the archaeological complexes of Cahokia and Emerald, 30 minutes from St. Louis, will be offered on Sunday the 25th or Monday the 26th, for anyone flying through St. Louis or wishing to make the 3-hour trip south of Urbana-Champaign.
2014 Theme: “Convergence”
The theme for TAG 2014 in Urbana-Champaign is “convergence.” Inspired by recent theoretical and technological developments, the theme is intended to open this year’s discussions, via the plenary. The TAG 2014 Plenary ‘Fundamental Convergences’ will take place Friday evening, May 23rd, 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and will feature Benjamin Alberti, Mary Weismantel, Kim Tallbear, and Rosemary Joyce (as discussant).
Call for Papers
At this time, we invite session proposals from organizers on any topic that falls within the purview of TAG. Go to the TAG 2014 website to begin. Session proposals are due by January 17, 2014. By February 2014, a list of sessions will be announced on this website, along with the session organizers’ email addresses. At that time, potential participants should send individual paper abstracts (max 300 words) directly to the session organizers by email (deadline March 7, 2014). Session organizers are responsible for selecting papers, and for sending the complete session roster along with all paper abstracts and titles to the TAG-UIUC committee by March 21, 2014.

The Bat Archaeological Project will be conducting its eighth season at the UNESCO W.H. site of Bat in the Sultanate of Oman between mid-December and early April of 2014, and is looking for student volunteers interested in gaining field experience. This year, the project is expanding in a number of exciting directions:
1. Excavation of domestic houses from Hafit (ca. 3100-2700 BC), Umm an-Nar (ca. 2700-2000 BC), and early Wadi Suq (ca. 2000-1700 BC) periods (led by Christopher P. Thornton and Dr. Charlotte Cable). This is the first focused study on 3rd mill. architecture in the Omani highlands, and the only site (to my knowledge) with a near-complete stratigraphic sequence of houses from the Hafit to the early Wadi Suq, so there is much to learn here!
2. Broader survey of the Bat region (with Dr. Yasuhisa Kondo), looking in particular for Paleo/Neolithic sites and domestic/occupational sites from later periods
3. Ethno-historical project (with Dr. Ruth Young) in the old mudbrick village of Bat Oasis, collecting oral histories (incl. personal narratives — the mudbrick was only abandoned in the 1980s!) and mapping the standing structures to look at the use of space in Late Islamic/pre-Modern villages.
4. Geomorphological survey of the greater Bat region (with Drs. Eric Fouache and Stephane Desruelles), looking in particular at fluvial dynamics, sedimentation rates, and location of cultural sites on the landscape
5. Heritage management and community outreach (led by Dr. Charlotte Cable), working with the Ministry of Heritage and Culture and the people of Bat village to create informational/educational materials and design a plan for transitioning Bat into a major tourism destination.
Former or current students (undergrad or grad) who are free during this period (Jan – March 2014) and will pay their own way to Oman, and the project will pay all costs on the ground and would be happy to include students in ongoing research. The project is already working with students from NYU, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Durham (UK) to carry out their MA and PhD theses at Bat, and there is PLENTY of work to farm out to other bright, driven students moving forward.
If you are interested, please email (cpt2@sas.upenn.edu).
Also, if you are interested to learn more about the Bat Project, previous field reports are available online:
