Dear fellow ASOR member,
I am pleased to recommend to you the recent publication of what many are calling “The Ceramics Bible.” The official title is The Ancient Pottery of Israel and Its Neighbors from the Iron Age through the Hellenistic Period. I am even more pleased to share that, because ASOR is a sponsor of these volumes, they are available to ASOR members at a discounted rate of $180, which is $60 off the regular price.
Whether or not you already own the volumes, I would like to encourage you that will enable Palestinian, Jordanian, Cypriot and Israeli students (or junior scholars) to own the volume. You may make a , and we will work with our affiliated research centers to put the pottery volumes in the hands of deserving students. A $200 contribution will pay for the volumes and shipping. Simply to make a gift online and choose “Pottery Volume for Students” in the drop-down menu. Gifts of amounts greater or less than $200 are welcomed and will be pooled to support deserving students and junior scholars. If you prefer, you can also mail a check to ASOR (656 Beacon Street, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02215). Please also e-mail Selma Omerefendic at ASOR and let her know if you wish your gift to support a Palestinian, Jordanian, Cypriot, or Israeli student or jr. scholar.
If you do not own the volumes, I want to encourage you to purchase a copy at a discounted price. As one of the volumes’ supporting institutions, ASOR is offering our members a special discounted price of $180, plus shipping.

If this special offer were not enough, I am also glad to report that all sales of Volumes I and II will directly support the production and printing costs of Volumes III and IV.
