Andrea Sinclair deposited Late Bronze Age Polychrome Faience in the ‘International Style’ in the group
Near Eastern Archaeology on Humanities Commons 1 week, 5 days ago
The Late Bronze Age was a period of heightened international diplomacy throughout the eastern Mediterranean littoral and the Near East. A direct result of this supra-regional interconnectivity is argued to have been the formation of an independent hybrid visual style, the ‘International Style’, an iconographic idiom which occurs sparingly on art…[Read more]

Jonathan Valk deposited Crime and Punishment: Deportation in the Levant in the Age of Assyrian Hegemony in the group
Ancient Near East on Humanities Commons 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Assyrian imperialism is closely associated with the practice of mass deportation. This practice has been explained by recourse to many different motivations. But can we hope to pinpoint the logic informing deportation rather than merely identifying its advantages? This paper surveys the evidence of deportation in the Levant in the period 745–620 B…[Read more]

Hi David, that’s indeed an excellent question, and just to add to John’s mention of the OATP, there’s also an option to narrow one’s search down via boolean operators, so searching for oa.business_models AND oa.books will provide you with a more specific version of the list that John mentioned…[Read more]

David Watson started the topic Is there a list of Open Monograph schemes? in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 2 months, 1 week ago
There’s now a fair number of different Open Monograph schemes, running different models or variations of models – and new schemes keep launching, ie ‘Path to Open‘ that just launched. This is great, but does mean it’s difficult to keep track of what the current OA monograph landscape looks like.
Is there anywhere a list of these different schemes?
