ISIS
ISISInstitute for the Study of Interdisciplinary Sciences
ISIS was founded in 1985 by a group of scholars of ancient history who felt it was important to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Man's ancient past.
The Institute has since become an educational charity with an international membership. ISIS has published research on the great cultures of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East including Egypt and Nubia; Canaan, Philistia and Israel; Phoenicia and Syria; Assyria, Babylonia, Elam and Persia; Anatolia; Cyprus, Crete and Greece; and Italy, Sicily and Sardinia.
Members receive regular volumes of the Journal of the Ancient Chronology
Forum (JACF), ISIS Occasional Publications, Newsletters and notice of a full programme
of lectures and events. The Institute also organises study tours of Egypt, the Aegean and
the Near East at specially negotiated rates for members and students.

ISIS publishes both the JACF and Occasional Publications to serve as open forums for the presentation of current research in the fields of chronology, ancient history and archaeology. The topics covered should be of interest to all students of the Ancient World since the editorial perspective is neither regionally orientated nor specific to the study of any one ancient society.
Contained within the pages of the publications are papers concerning a wide range of subjects such as: comparative history and chronology: scientific dating methods; archaeology; traditional histories; calendars; languages; and contemporary historical documents. ISIS also publishes up-to-date archaeological reports from Egypt and the Levant.
Membership to ISIS involves no commitment to any particular viewpoint:
the stated aim
of both the JACF and ISIS is simply: 'The advancement of research into the
chronology,
archaeology and history of the ancient world.'
