Almost all academic journals depend on the good will & free labour of senior researchers as referees. IRAQ is no different—except that we’re super-lucky to have such kind and generous colleagues. Today I emailed three potential referees. They’ve already all said yes 💐👏🔝📝📗💚

If you have JSTOR or @CambUP_Classics access to the journal, could you spare a little while going through back-issues to help us identify exactly which Nimrud ivory this is a photo of? Or maybe you're already an expert who just *knows*... https://t.co/wqmGYvIiFZ
