Julian Reade

Julian Reade serves as an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies at the University of Copenhagen, with his academic office located at Karen Blixens Plads 8, 2300 Copenhagen S. He maintains an active research profile centered on ancient Near Eastern civilizations, particularly Assyriology and Mesopotamian studies.

His research expertise spans Assyriology, Ancient Near Eastern History, Archaeology, Epigraphy, and Cuneiform Studies, with focused investigations into Assyrian royal administration, religious practices, and material culture. Key areas include cuneiform inscriptions, royal correspondence systems, and archaeological analysis of sites such as Ur, Nineveh, and the Zagros region.

Reade's 2024 output demonstrates exceptional productivity with eight publications, predominantly in N.A.B.U. (Nouvelles Assyriologiques Brèves et Utilitaires). These works address diverse topics including Assyrian letters to deities, royal eunuch systems, artifact metrology, and site identification, reflecting his dual expertise in textual analysis and archaeological context. His book chapter on the Ur ziggurat commemorates Woolley's excavations, bridging historical and material scholarship.

Academic engagement is evidenced by participation in the 2015 Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale and Philology and Archaeology conference, highlighting his active role in international Assyriological discourse. While student mentorship and grant details aren't specified, his publication record indicates sustained research leadership in the field.
