Bridging the Gap: Disciplines, Times, and Spaces in Dialogue ? Volume 2: Disciplines, Times, and Spaces in Dialogue - Volume 2: Sessions 3, 7 and 8 . the Freie Universitat Berlin, 24-28 June 2019

Since 2007, the conferences organized under the title 'Broadening Horizons' have provided a regular venue for postgraduates and early career scholars in Ancient Near Eastern Studies. Three volumes present the proceedings of the 6th Broadening Horizons Conference, which took place at the Freie Universität Berlin from 24-28 June, 2019. The general theme, 'Bridging the Gap: Disciplines, Times, and Spaces in Dialogue', is aimed at encouraging communication and the development of multidisciplinary approaches to the study of material cultures and textual sources.

The second volume compiles papers presented in three enlightening sessions: Session 3 - Visual and Textual Forms of Communication; Session 7 - The Future of the Past. Archaeologists and Historians in Cultural Heritage Studies; and Session 8 - Produce, Consume, Repeat. History and Archaeology of Ancient Near Eastern Economies. Within this volume, the 20 papers traverse diverse topics spanning multiple periods, from the 5th millennium BCE to the Roman Empire, and encompass a wide array of geographical regions within the Near East.
