This atlas offers a comprehensive overview of the ancient Near East, from the beginnings of settlement, more than 20,000 years ago, to the turn of the century. It brings together both synthetic maps that allow us to follow the cultural and political evolution of the Near East over time, as well as maps that are more focused on a specific region or more thematic. All the maps, entirely new, take into account the latest advances in research and offer the most up-to-date status possible of the areas of study explored in the region. A number of city maps, major capitals, and smaller cities with a morphology characteristic of a region or period have been added. Each map is accompanied by a short text that sets out the cultural or political context and explains the cartographic choices, the limits of knowledge, or the advances in research over the last twenty years. In addition, there is a selection of the most up-to-date bibliographical references for each contribution, an index of proper names and names of peoples, as well as a very comprehensive geographical index listing the modern and ancient names of sites and their different variants. This work has brought together around fifty contributors, recognized experts or young researchers: university professors in France or abroad, researchers and engineers from the CNRS, curators of the Louvre Museum, young doctoral or post-doctoral researchers, mainly attached to three teams of the CNRS joint unit Archaeology and Sciences of Antiquity (MSH Mondes, Nanterre) but also to other laboratories in France and five universities and research centers abroad. Under the direction of Martin Sauvage With the collaboration of Philippe Abrahami – Damien Agut-Labordère – Raphaël Angevin – Johnny Samuele Baldi – Emmanuel Baudouin – Fanny Bocquentin – Odette Boivin – François Bridey – Pascal Butterlin – Corinne Castel – Barbara Chiti – Philippe Clancier – Laura Cousin – Julien Cuny – Pascal Darcque – Mustapha Djabellaoui – Xavier Faivre – Guillaume Gernez – Bernard Geyer – Bruno Gombert – Anna Gómez Bach – Daniel Helmer – Michaël Jasmin – Mathilde Jean – Francis Joannès – Christine Kepinski – Ergül Kodaş – Bertrand Lafont – Marc Lebeau – Alain Le Brun – Camille Lecompte – Brigitte Lion – Marjan Mashkour – Cécile Michel – Pierre de Miroschedji – Miguel Molist Montaña – Alice Mouton – Hugo Naccaro – Aurélie Paci – Clélia Paladre – Bérengère Perello – Philippe Quenet – Marcelo Rede – Margareta Tengberg – Aline Tenu – Régis Vallet – Julien Vieugué – Emmanuelle Vila
