Welcome Address
Dear Guest,
We warmly welcome you at the 11th ICAANE in Munich! For the next days you will have the opportunity to exchange your ideas about the fascinating past of the Near East with more than 700 scholars from 40 countries. We, the members of the organizing committee, did our best to prepare an agreeable setting for the conference. 600 lectures will be presented in up to 14 parallel sections and workshops. Since the lecture rooms are all very close and the lectures will start at the time indicated in the programme, it will be possible to switch between sessions. Further research is presented on over 70 posters. There will be ample space for meetings and social gatherings during the coffee breaks and two evening receptions. All the necessary information is summarized in the 11ICAANE programme and in the information sheets in your conference map. For any further questions or help, please turn to the conference bureau in A 120. The programme and abstracts can be found at http://www.icaane2018.vorderas-archaeologie.uni-muenchen.de/programme/index.html.
Up-to-date information concerning changes in the schedule will be announced on twitter (@11icaane / #11icaane) and on the notice boards in the Main Hall. We wish you a very pleasant time in Munich and hope you enjoy this week full of new insights into the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East.

Revolutionizing a World From Small States to Universalism in the Pre-Islamic Near East
Mark Altaweel and Andrea Squitieri
Revolutionizing a World: From Small States to Universal- ism in the Pre-Islamic Near East investigates the long-term continuity of large-scale states and empires, and its effect on the Near East’s social fabric, including the fundamental changes that occurred to major social institutions. Its geo- graphical coverage spans, from east to west, modern-day Libya and Egypt to Central Asia, and from north to south, Anatolia to southern Arabia, incorporating modern-day Oman and Yemen. Its temporal coverage spans from the late eighth century BCE to the seventh century CE during the rise of Islam and collapse of the Sasanian Empire.
