摘要：The editors are happy to release the second issue of the journal Ancient Asia, which was long overdue. Due to the circumstances beyond our control, there has been inordinate delay in publishing this issue. However, the future issues of the journal will be published on time annually. The present issue carries ten research articles, ranging in time and subject matter from fifth millennium BCE Protohistoric to the Historical period and covering the region from Bangladesh in the east to Iran in the west.
