Collection of the objects from the USA museums

The Collection of the objects from the USA museums in DASI gathers the South Arabian antiquities housed in USA museums and private collections.

In June 2012 a group of researchers from DASI project worked in four museums, in some of the most prestigious universities and institutions in the USA. These are the Semitic and Peabody Museums of the Harvard University, The Babylonian Collection of the Department of Near Eastern Civilizations of the Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia. The total of objects photographed and catalogued amounts to 116 inscribed and non-inscribed artefacts.
