- DUSANE -

Dutch Symposium of the Ancient Near East

Introduction

The Dutch Symposium of the Ancient Near East is organised annually in the city of Leiden, The Netherlands. The 4th DUSANE was held on March 27th 2010. We hope to organise a Fifth DUSANE in 2011!

 

DUSANE aims to bring Dutch scholars together, to enhance the scientific-archaeological work carried out by Dutch scholars in the Near East and to bring this work to the attention of the wider, non-scholarly public. We aim to exchange information among project directors, students and all those who are interested in archaeological research in the Near East.

Our speakers include directors of current archaeological research projects, Assyriologists, Egyptologists and material specialists.

 

DUSANE is organised by staff members and students from the Faculty of Archaeology and the Department of Languages and Cultures of Mesopotamia and Anatolia, Leiden University, the Netherlands.
