The American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to initiate, encourage, and support research into, and the public understanding of, the history and cultures in the Middle East and wider Mediterranean. For 125 years, ASOR has been a flagship for archaeology, history, and cultural heritage, by supporting professional standards for excavations, research, peer review, and conduct.

ASOR has nearly 2,100 members from 68 countries and 6 continents, and 40,000 Friends of ASOR who subscribe to our bi-weekly e-newsletter, The Ancient Near East Today. Our members include scholars and enthusiasts of archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, biblical studies, art history, and cultural heritage.
