The 61e Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale was hosted by the Universities of Geneva and Bern and took place 22–26 June 2015. After the 1960 Rencontre in Geneva, this was the second time that the annual conference was held in Switzerland. The theme of the 61e Rencontre was “Text and Image”. This topic was chosen with the intention to bridge the chasm between philologists and archaeologists, which has deepened in recent years, and to stimulate a new the cooperation and the dialog between both disciplines. Text and image are often combined on artefacts and complement each other in their communicative function; these artefacts present ideal starting points for the outlined endeavour. At the same time, “text” and “image” can also be understood as synonyms for philological and archaeological sources respectively. The talks were good examples of how fruitful and productive close cooperation between Assyriologists and Archaeologists can be. Examples of successful bridge-building between the two disciplines were also presented at the following SGOA conference “Philology and Archaeology – Dialogue in Crisis”, which represented a detailed discussion on the drifting apart of Ancient Near Eastern philology and archaeology.
