American Studies in Papyrology
American Studies in Papyrology is the flagship book series for the Society. The first volume was published in 1966, and the series now comprises over 50 books. Monographs in the series include not only editions of papyri and ostraca —literary, subliterary, and documentary; Greek, Coptic, and otherwise— but also the various histories that can be written from the study of papyrological texts. The series is published under the imprimatur of the University of Michigan Press, in collaboration with the ASP. Scholars interested in publishing in the series should consult the Editor.

Notice on the publication of illicit antiquities
In light of the recent discussions on the publication of illicit antiquities, ASP wishes to emphasize the need to abide by ASP and AIP Policy on Illegal Trade of Objects. We firmly believe that this is a serious matter and as the Society’s book series, American Studies in Papyrology follows the 2007 ASP resolution condemning the illegal trade of papyri, as well as the 2022 ASP-AIP Papyrus Trade Resolution. Under no circumstances will contributions be accepted that publish objects that are considered illicit. Objects of questionable provenance (where it is not clear whether they are legally or illegally acquired) are not necessarily excluded from publication, but a “frank and thorough” investigation and documentation of their provenance must be undertaken. The burden of establishing the “legality” of an object falls on its editor, in which it cannot be assumed that an object has been acquired legally by virtue of the fact that its “illegality” cannot be demonstrated unambiguously. A submission demonstrating or even implying that a contributor has been involved in the authentication of illicit (or potentially illicit) material cannot be accepted for publication under the Society’s aegis.
