Wayne Horowitz (born Roslyn, New York) is an archeologist and academic. He specialises in the ancient Near East and Assyriology.[1]

Activities

[edit]

Wayne Horowitz received his BA from Brandeis University. He completed his Ph.D. thesis (this later leading to the work Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography[2]) at Birmingham University under the supervision of W. G. Lambert.[1] Horowitz lectures at the Rothberg School for Overseas Students in the Department of Assyriology.[1] Prof. Horowitz is leading a team making available in publication the decipherment of a law code fragment (18th-17th century BCE), the first found in Israel that shows features similar to the law code of Hammurabi.[3] (From a website showing Copyright 2008 - 2011 AFHU )[4][5][6]

Publications
