Archaeological research by the University of Melbourne in the middle and upper Euphrates valley, north Syria (original) (raw)

2009

Abstract

Developments in north Syrian archaeology in the middle and upper Euphrates River valley have been to some extent determined by salvage excavations resulting from the planned construction of hydroelectric dams. The evidence from sites excavated in the Tabqa and Tishreen dam flood zones in this area of north Syria has supplied information on the existence of a broad range of periods, cultures and traditions. Researchers from the University of Melbourne have been involved in excavations at three sites within this region. A planned Syrian-Australian cooperation is underway for further rescue work and the creation of an archaeological artefact repository which will build on ongoing excavation and research.
