Editorial

Résumé

The 33rd volume of Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy (AAE) comes along with a number of changes. First of all, Bruno Overlaet, who has shaped this journal as editor since 2015, retired by the end of 2021. He took over editorship from Dan Potts, who launched AAE 32 years ago. During Bruno's term of office, AAE underwent considerable growth: more than 130 original scholarly articles were published in AAE in the past 6 years, which is almost a fourth more than the average of all preceding years. One achievement, which is going to be further developed, was his engagement for special issues devoted to particular fields of research and assisted by invited guest editors: three such issues have been edited under Bruno's responsibility. Moreover, a number of improvements concerning the editorial board, facilities for authors and reviewers, the journal's layout, and the speed of publication have been achieved in agreement with the publisher. The editors would like to express their gratitude to Bruno Overlaet for his commitment to the demanding and time-consuming duty as editor to the benefit of AAE, which has long been established as a leading journal in the field of Ancient Arabian archaeology and history. One of the changes in the scholarly landscape of Ancient Arabia, compared with the situation in the early years of AAE, is the fact that prehistoric archaeology gains more and more importance besides the historical periods. The increasingly high specialisation of disciplines within archaeology (and also philology) makes also editorial work too complex to be handled by only one or two persons. The new editorial team, therefore, consists of three people-each of them an expert in a particular field of Ancient Arabian archaeology and epigraphy.
