Sana'a Branch
History
Interaction processes, mobility of people and objects, formation of complex societies, sacred buildings, and sepulchral landscapes, religion and cult, as well as water management in arid regions under changing climatic conditions are but some of the current issues studied by the Sana'a branch office in South Arabia and the northern part of the Horn of Africa. These topics have developed over the last 45 years of research by the DAI in South Arabia, today's Yemen.
Topics & Outlook
The study area of the Sana'a branch office reaches from South Arabia to the northern part of the Horn of Africa within a time frame chiefly ranging between the 3rd millennium BC and the beginnings of Islam.
Publications
Research results and reports on the scientific work of the Sana'a branch office regularly appear in the publications of the Orient Department. In addition to the excavation reports, monographs dedicated to special topics as well as commemorative volumes, and articles on specific issues supplement the publication spectrum.
Authors can publish in the journal Zeitschrift für Orient-Archäologie (ZorA), the series Archäologische Berichte aus dem Yemen (ABADY), Hefte zur Kulturgeschichte des Jemen and Epigraphische Forschungen auf der Arabischen Halbinsel (EFAH).
Reports on excavation work and project progress are published in the semi-annual DAI e-Forschungsberichten (e-reports).
