AI-generated Abstract
This preliminary report details the findings from the sixth excavation campaign conducted at Tell Arbid in Syria. Focused on various sectors, including 'S', 'SA', 'SL', and 'SS', the excavations revealed significant Khabour-period remains and a notable burial from the Mitannian period, featuring rich grave goods. The report highlights the stratigraphic layers encountered, which include remnants of mud-brick structures and artifacts from different historical periods, contributing to the understanding of the region's archaeological context.

Excavations in Trench C-IV at Tell Fekheriye were carried out in 2009 and 2010, and yielded promising results pointing out a considerable importance of the site‘s occupation during the Syrian Late Bronze Age. The evidence for this stems primarily from the discovered graves and is linked also to architectural remains dating back to the Middle Assyrian period. Last but not least, various finds dating back to the Roman-Byzantine period were also made.
Five Seasons of Excavations (1997-2001) in Field I at Tell Beydar (Syria
Asia anteriore antica 2, 2020
Since 1997 the Ca' Foscari University of Venice has been taking part, as one of the official partners, in the Syro-European archaeological expedition at Tell Beydar (Northeastern Syria). A new excavation area, Field I, was opened by the Italian team on the northeastern slope of the 3 rd millennium Upper City, just inside the Inner-City Wall. After five seasons of excavation, the presence of one of the city gates has been confirmed, and the topographical layout of the area is sufficiently clear. The opening in the fortification wall was protected by two huge, massive brick structures projecting on its internal side. Through this passage, a narrow street led from the Outer City toward the mound's central plateau. This street was flanked on both sides by large complex buildings, possibly official in character, and by small open spaces occupied by graves and dumping areas.
The 2001-2007 excavation seasons on the Tell Afis Acropolis, focusing on Area N have produced significant archaeological evidence of defensive structures dating to the Middle Bronze Age. In this phase, both the acropolis and the lower town are heavily fortified. After the collapse of the fortification system, during the transitional period between Middle Bronze Age and Late Bronze Age, area N was used as a burial pit ground. Archaeological and osteological data from the burials, along with the results of a regional survey project in the Jazr Plain, enabled the analysis of the socioeconomic dynamics of this transitional period spanning the Middle Bronze II to the Late Bronze Age I at Tell Afis as well as the wider regional context. Available data show that many sites on the Jazr Plain were abandoned during the Middle Bronze II, and that only a few settlements, including Tell Afis, managed to recover from this phase of decline. The socioeconomic implications and chronological duration of these transition processes are still under investigation.
