The funds provided by the LIBERTY profile are intended for the preparation of applications for third-party funding.
The project examines not only cultural discontinuities, but also continuities in the area of the Fertile Crescent, a critical contact area at all times between the great powers of Egypt, Asia Minor and Mesopotamia, including its diverse connections to the Arabian Peninsula and the Aegean world.
