Zincirli Inscription at SBL Boston

Dennis Pardee's presentation of the new Samalian inscription from Zincirli has been added to the Paleography session at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in Boston on November 23rd from 1:00 to 3:30 pm.

The full program of that session is below and can be found here.

I can't believe they're only devoting 20 minutes to it AND they're putting him last. Hmm...to go or not to go. That is the question.
