More than 5,000 works of art are linked to critical information on country of origin, cultural context, and time period." Equipped with world and regional maps, timelines, images of the artworks, and teachers resources, this website is a rich database that adds an important visual component to the historical exploration.

Yale University Library
http://www.library.yale.edu/neareast/
Great collection of various types of resources. Although, not being a Yale University student, you cannot check out items from their collection, it is a good place to see what titles are available in the field. We also highly recommend that you check out their Selected Internet Sources and the Research Guides by Subject.
