	Near Eastern archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Near Eastern Archaeology (sometimes known as Middle Eastern archaeology) is a regional branch of the wider, global discipline of Archaeology.
		The description "Near Eastern" for this branch of archaeology is, of course, highly Eurocentric and Americocentric, reflecting the origins and growth of the field in Western academic traditions.
		Near Eastern Archaeology is a term with a wide, often generalised application, and is frequently divided into further regional sub-branches, the archaeology of modern states in the region or along broad thematic lines.

	Welcome to NELC at the University of Chicago
		Students of archaeology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations participate in archaeological fieldwork and in a rigorous program of academic study that equips them to become skilled recorders and interpreters of those ancient cultures which are the forerunners of our own civilization.
		The Near Eastern department is housed in the premises of the Oriental Institute, an independent research institution which is a major contributor to all fields of ancient Near Eastern studies.
		For students who prefer to focus on studies of ancient Near Eastern technology, regional landscape studies, or quantitative data analysis, the archaeology faculty may reduce the ancient language requirement to a single year of instruction, provided that the student can demonstrate that he or she is able to construct a coherent alternative program of study.

	Near Eastern Studies
		Near Eastern Studies at Princeton go back to the turn of the century when, as elsewhere, interest in this field, Biblically oriented, centered on the ancient history of the ``cradle of civilization.'' The roots were diffuse, albeit vigorous; there were pioneer scholars of distinction and beginnings of a superlative library for teaching and research.
		The most dynamic pioneer was Howard Crosby Butler, a specialist in ancient Near Eastern archaeology and architecture who mounted expeditions to Syria and Anatolia in 1899, 1904, and 1909 and headed the notable excavations at Antioch and Sardis; he was Princeton's charter trustee of the Jerusalem School for Oriental Research.
		In 1951 the Program in Near Eastern Studies was reorganized as a separate interdisciplinary program emphasizing the social sciences, administered by a committee of representatives from the departments of economics, history, and politics, as well as of the department of oriental languages and literatures.

	Dangerous Archaeology
		The dominant politico-cultural groups of ancient Near Eastern history are the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Hittites, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans.
		Western fascination with Near Eastern history was not founded solely on perceived differences between East and West, but derived also from the fact that the region was the locus for Old and New Testament events, early Christian history, and the development of Judeo-Christian religious traditions.
		Moreover, he formulated a definition of archaeology as the study of ancient and mediaeval monuments and written sources, to be correlated with the sciences of minerology, physical geography, ethnology, and anthropology, as well as the history of art.
