Abstract:
Raqqa, in Syria, was the only Islamic site excavated by the Ottoman Imperial Museum during its existence in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Although the Imperial Museum may not have been searching specifically for an Islamic site of the medieval period to excavate, its response to the plundering of Raqqa, which began as early as 1899, was to pursue an archaeological excavation in a systematic manner. Two campaigns were conducted, under the directorships of Macridy and Haydar Bey, in 1905–6 and 1908 respectively. Although not lasting more than a couple of months, they were relatively important from the perspective of the Imperial Museum and Islamic archaeology at that time. This article focuses on the history of these Raqqa excavations, namely, the reasons the Imperial Museum began excavating there, how it conducted its excavations, and, finally, the finds and the way they were displayed at the Museum. Existing archival documents on the excavation, along with the earliest inventories of the finds in the Imperial Museum and the personal letters of Macridy, all hitherto unpublished, are analyzed in order to shed light on these long forgotten excavations.

Abstract:
This work is a truly splendid and remarkable achievement. It greatly enlarges and brings up to date the Encyclopedia of Archaeological Excavations in the Holy Land, 4 vols, 1975–8, edited by the late Michael Avi-Jonah and by Ephraim Stern, on whom the prophet's mantle has now fallen. It provides a detailed catalogue raisonne of all the archaeological excavations in the Holy Land. This is defined in a pragmatic way, that is to say, the ancient Palestine, and so modern Israel and Jordan, some parts of Lebanon and Syria under Israeli control, and a number of sites in the Sinai peninsula. Given that in Israel archaeology is a national hobby, and that numerous foreign agencies are likewise at work, British, French, German, Italian and United States as well as others, such an encyclopaedia can only mark a stage in Holy Land archaeology, for it is of its nature an on-going process.

Full text
Abstract:
The arms and armour discovered during the excavations at the Roman frontier city of Dura-Europos, Syria, by Belgian, French and American archaeologists between the wars constitute one of the most important but least studied assemblages of the kind ever found. Little of it has ever been published. Most of the finds can be associated with the events surrounding the final destruction of the city by the Sassanians, which can be dated to the mid-250s AD. This close dating of a large body of arms is unparalleled in the Roman Empire. It is also the only really large group of Roman armour from the whole of the Eastern Empire. Most of the arms were deposited in contexts which prove they belong to the Roman defenders, but a handful belong to the Persian attackers, not least an important iron helmet, the first well-dated Sassanian head-piece. Other items, such as the cane shields, are hard to definitely attribute to either side. The material is extremely rich and diverse, the special conditions of burial of many items preserving delicate organic elements including shield paintings and arrow fletchings, allowing a much better understanding of the technology and appearance of Roman weaponry. There are a number of unparalleled complete items, such as the famous scutum and the horse-armours. The size, preservation, close dating and Eastern provenance of the collection combine to give it unique value to military archaeologists. However, close study of the evidence for the historical context of the siege demonstrates that the archaeological remains left by the defenders cannot, as hoped, be linked with the copious documentary evidence from the site. We do not know the exact identity of the Roman units defending the city. The Roman weaponry is in many respects indistinguishable from that used on the European frontiers of the Empire. Were the defenders European expeditionary troops, or Eastern troops wearing identical equipment? The answer lies in further research into the archaeology of the Eastern army, whose weapons are rarely found. The Dura assemblage will be the yardstick against which new finds will be measured.

Abstract:
La thèse examine les rapports complexes entre Archéologie, Tourisme et Développement à travers l’analyse des enjeux et modalités de la mise en valeur des sites archéologiques en Syrie. Le contexte syrien offre à ces égards un terrain d’observation particulièrement riche puisque les sites archéologiques y ont été investis dès la fin du XIXème siècle de valeurs cognitives, identitaires et plus récemment économiques et touristiques dans le cadre des politiques de développement et d’aménagement du territoire « national ». Alors que les relations entre Archéologie, Tourisme et Développement sont stigmatisées par les archéologues, elles tendent à être conçues sous la forme d’une complémentarité « naturelle » par les gestionnaires et institutions patrimoniales et touristiques. Ces derniers voient dans le patrimoine (culturel) un levier potentiel de développement à la fois socio-économique et socio-culturel. Les discours archéologiques, managériaux et institutionnels se fondent néanmoins sur une conception limitative du site archéologique et de sa valorisation, terme connoté qui renverrait exclusivement à une exploitation marchande de la « ressource » archéologique. Or, il y a lieu de proposer une autre approche et d’adopter une voix médiane en soulignant que le rapprochement entre les trois dimensions évoquées ci-dessus est possible mais non obligé. Par conséquent, cette thèse propose une conception renouvelée des sites archéologiques et de leur mise en valeur.

The thesis examines the complex relationships between Archaeology, Tourism and Development through the analysis of the stakes and modalities of the development of archeological sites in Syria. The Syrian context offers a ground of particularly rich observation because archeological sites were invested from the end of the XIXth century of cognitive, identical values and more recently economic and touristic values in the framework of development policies. Within the framework of policies of development and "national" land settlement. While the relations between Archaeology, Tourism and Development are stigmatized by the archaeologists, they tend to be conceived under the shape of a "natural" complementarity by the administrators and the heritage and tourist institutions. These last ones see in the (cultural) heritage a potential lever of socio-economic and socio-cultural development. The archaeological, managerial and institutional rethorics base themselves nevertheless on a restrictive conception of the archeological site and its valuation (valorisation), a connoted term which would send back exclusively to a commercial exploitation of the archaeological "resource". Now, it seems important to propose another approach and to adopt a "median voice" by underlining that the link between three dimensions. Consequently, this thesis proposes a renewed conception of archeological sites and their development.

Abstract:
This thesis provides the results of intensive surface investigations carried out in 1986 at Tell Halula, a complex multi-period site located in the Euphrates River valley in northern Syria. The research was undertaken with the twofold aim of obtaining a more precise understanding of the occupation history of the site, whilst demonstrating the effectiveness and increased benefits to be gained by the use of controlled collection methods for obtaining robust data from complex archaeological sites. The result is a biography of Tell Halula which traces its development from initial settlement, c. 7800 cal. BC, during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period, through to its abandonment at the end of the Late Assyrian period, c. 600 BC, and its later conversion to farmland during the Late Roman, Byzantine and Early Islamic periods, c. 450-925 AD, and again more recently during the Ottoman period, around 150 years ago. To build a picture of how the site developed, both physically and culturally, various strands of evidence are examined, including the evidence of dating and cultural affiliations obtained through comparative analysis of the artefact assemblages recovered by controlled collection, the results from subsequent excavations conducted on the site by the Universitat Aut{u00F2}noma de Barcelona, Spain, where available, and by spatial analysis of the collected material. For later periods historical resources and ethnographies are also used. The analyses demonstrate that important information can be derived from the continuity evident in the material. A main component of the thesis is the exploration of where the different settlements were located on the site and what their spatial extent and the artefact inventories suggest about the function or relative importance of the site at different times, in other words, how it functioned within the regional cultural landscape of each period. For several periods, notably the Halaf, this points to deficiencies in present characterisations of the society then existing and explanations of social development. Some revised perspectives are offered, based both directly on the results of the research and on the re-interpretation of existing material and literature in light of this research.

Abstract:
This thesis is a demographic analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan (ca. 1550/1500-1200/1150 BCE), undertaken through the use of archaeological and anthropological data. The purpose is to establish estimates for the settlement population, nomadic population, nuclear family size, house size, sex ratio, and life expectancy of the people of Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Previous studies have not addressed these issues in detail, nor had data from the entire scope of Canaan been considered, nor had a precise methodology been developed or used for estimating specific settlement populations and nomadic populations for Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Thus, additional aspects of the thesis include the development and use of a new methodology for estimating ancient populations and a database of all of the Late Bronze Age sites in Canaan—both archaeological and textual. To accomplish these goals, the thesis uses archaeological data from excavations and surveys, texts from the Late Bronze Age, human skeletal remains from Late Bronze Age burials, demographic and ethnographic studies of various types of nomads, and methods, techniques, and observations from previous relevant studies. The primary objectives are to 1) obtain individual settlement, nomadic, and total population estimates for Canaan in the Late Bronze Age that are as accurate as possible based on the currently available data, along with additional demographic estimates of life expectancy and sex ratio, 2) propose a new methodology for estimating settlement populations in the ancient world, 3) present a catalogue and map of all of the sites in Canaan that were inhabited during the Late Bronze Age, 4) illuminate demographic trends during the Late Bronze Age in Canaan. The implications of the results may lead to a modified demographic view of Canaan and its sub-regions during the Late Bronze Age.

Abstract:
This project has explored the archaeology of Dura’s imperial Roman military base, and also considered other material traces of the presence of soldiers in the city, e.g. at the Palmyrene Gate and creation of urban baths. As such it here synthesizes the archaeological evidence of a literal quarter (or more) of this globally important archaeological site. It offers an example of the still under-appreciated potential of ‘legacy data sets’ and archival archaeology, and of resurveying ‘old sites’, to generate significant new knowledge, making best use of limited resources. It also considers ‘legacy ideas’ as well as more recent publications to generate new understandings of garrison, base, and city. I hope that this volume will further constitute a useful contribution to the study of the Roman armies, and the soldiers in their ranks. I also hope that it will establish that the military aspect is a vital part of the story of Dura itself, especially for the Roman era, and that the military base and the people who lived in it cannot be treated as literally and figuratively peripheral to Durene studies. The foregoing presents what has been a visually led project, and also one of space and of movement within it. It was conducted through a combination of examining the largely image-based archival records of the Yale/French Academy expedition and direct observation of the fabric of the city, especially of the remains exposed by the original excavations as they were between 2005 and 2010. It has also generated entirely new data expanding the picture through geophysical prospection of the unexcavated portions of the base area and vicinity. Physically moving around the topography of the former city and, where it was still partially upstanding, through some of its spaces, provided many key insights. Others derived from considering plans, aerial photographs, magnetometry plots, and recent satellite images. Not least, interpretations arose from generating the new drawings, largely plans, featured in this book.

Abstract:
Chapter 6 examines the diffusion of ancient Near Eastern history and its archaeological discovery to popular culture. It focuses on the archaeological murder mysteries of Agatha Christie, one of Britain’s top-selling writers and a popular modernist. An amateur archaeologist, Christie took an active part in excavations in Iraq and Syria for nearly three decades, working with her husband, archaeologist Max Edgar Lucien Mallowan. The chapter considers her domestication of the remote past and role as a mediator between archaeology and Mesopotamian antiquity, and a broad and mainly middle-class readership of her “whodunnits”. It draws on her seven imperial archaeological novels set in the Near East, especially in mandate territories, particularly Murder in Mesopotamia, An Appointment with Death, espionage thriller They Came to Baghdad, and archaeological autobiography Come Tell Me How You Live, as well as on other autobiographical and archival material. The chapter demonstrates Christie’s comparison between archaeology and detective work, the archaeologist and the sleuth, and between deciphering a murder and the interpretation of clues to the past. The chapter considers the impact of archaeological imagery and practices on the classical detective story whose heyday coincided with that of the new culture of antiquity, examining Christie’s adaptation of the overarching image of the Tell, or man-made mound, built of layers of human habitation and destruction, as the unifying image in her writing. At the same time as domesticating antiquity, Christie related it to modern technologies of transport and industrialization.

Abstract:
Personal knowledge of three archaeological sites in different contexts in Jerusalem offered a rare opportunity for an overview of life in the city during the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods. This has permitted a study of intra-site variation, hinting at different communities and their lifestyles. In particular, aspects of craft and trading activities illustrate the economy of the city. The importation of luxury ceramics from Italy and from Syria, and a suggestion of a role in the important silk trade between East and West, illustrate part of a trading network in which pilgrimage to Jerusalem played a significant role. Local commodities, health and the processing and consumption of food also illustrate living standards in a city where there was considerable poverty.
