Thread Orientation: This thread is a basic listing of key Ancient Near Eastern Periodicals (Journals), which in libraries are listed under headings such as "Assyriology -- Periodicals", "Oriental philology", "Middle Eastern philology -- Periodicals." and so on. I should mention that the number of volumes of a given periodical may not have a one to one ratio with the number of years its been published, as these may be Semi-annual, or annual or infrequent etc. and the frequency of a periodical may have changed numerous times during its lifespan. I have started below with those Im famialiar with, and I hope this will serve as a quick reference guide for members.
