Further to the Report of the Faculty Board of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies on a new Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Tripos (Reporter, 2007-08, p. 498) and the revisions to the Archaeological and Anthropological Tripos concerning the introduction of papers in Akkadian and Egyptian (Reporter, 2007-08, p. 645), the Faculty Board have proposed changes to the regulations for Part IB to allow for students wishing to combine the study of the Middle East with the Ancient Near East.

X.6 Akkadian Language II (Paper M1 of Parts IIA and IIB of the Archaeological and Anthropological Tripos)1

Regulation 19.

By replacing subsection (b)(ii) with the following:
