Authorship

Contributors

Besides the work done by the main authors, various other contributors have written pages or provided graphics (photographs and drawings) for the Urkesh website: they are listed below with an indication of their area of concentration. Full references to the individual pages where their work appears are found in the indices. Publications by members of the staff are listed separately in the Bibliography.

Note that this list includes only the names of those whose work is directly represented in the website. Staff members who have otherwise contributed to the excavation are listed separately in the section about the staff. There, one will also find more details about the seasons when the contributors have been active in the field.
