  • Helen Dixon   With Jessica Nitschke (Stellenbosch University), I proposed a new session which was accepted for recruitment at the 2024 ASOR Annual Meeting in Boston (November 2024).
    Our session abstract: "The past two decades have been a boon time for Phoenician studies, with numerous monographs, articles, and colloquia shining a light on the central Phoenicians played in ancient Mediterranean culture, economy, and politics. This session serves as a space to present research on any aspect of the history and culture of the Phoenician/Punic world, broadly conceived: from the Levant to the Atlantic, from the Bronze Age through the Roman Empire and beyond (including the reception of Phoenicians in modern times). Papers that deal with religious, economic, and political interactions are particularly welcome."   2023 - 2024
