International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East Copenhagen, 22-26 May 2023 From 1931 to 1938 a Danish team under the direction of Harald Ingholt excavated at the site of Hama in the Orontes valley, in Inland Western Syria. 63 years after the report on the pre-Hellenistic levels was published by Ejnar Fugmann in 1958, two new interrelated Hama projects were initiated in 2021. The project teams are international and interdisciplinary, with scholars from Denmark, France, Italy, the US and the UK taking part, many in both projects. One focuses on the Early Bronze IV Period (ca. 2500-2000 BCE), a time characterized by the processes of state formation and urbanization in this area. Funded by the Independent Research Fund of Denmark and directed by Mette Marie Hald of the National Museum of Denmark, this project’s basic goal is to add a completely new layer of information to the state of knowledge in an area currently inaccessible by means of the application of new approaches and scientific analyses to an old museum collection from an ordinary domestic neighbourhood. The second project, led by Georges Mouamar of the National Museum of Denmark/Institut Français du Proche Orient and funded by the Shelby White – Leon Levy Foundation, addresses a particular attribute of the excavation of Hama: the longest continuous sequence – Middle Neolithic through Iron Age 2 (ca. 6500-720 BCE) – in Inland Western Syria. This project aims to create an absolute and precise chronology, with which all other site chronological sequences in this region can be correlated, through the combination of material culture studies and archaeometric, C14, and archaeomagnetic analyses. In this workshop team members will be presenting initial results of their research.

80 years after their completion, the Danish excavations at Hama (1931–1938) are still crucial for the understanding of the whole Early Bronze Age in Western Syria (ca. 3000–2000 BC), from an archaeological point of view. The National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen legally hosts a collection of around 5000 artefacts dating from Period J, which were left largely unpublished after Ingholt’s and Fugmann’s preliminary studies between the 1930s and the 1950s. Therefore, in 2015 the present authors began to undertake a complete re-examination of the Hama Bronze Age corpus, based on the artefacts and the field documentation stored at the museum, aiming at a comprehensive publication of these records. This article presents the first results of this joint initiative, focusing on a group of 14 vessels and sherds from Phases J6–3 (dated to late Early Bronze IVA and B, ca. 2400–2000 BC) that reveal a thus far unexploited potential of the Hama corpus in Copenhagen for the discussion of inter-regional connections during the Early Bronze Age. In fact, the location of Hama contributed to its importance in communication routes, and the wealth of imported ceramics in Period J attests to its connections to multiple networks.
En 1989 parut le volume II du livre « Archéologie et histoire de la Syrie », traitant des périodes de la domination des Achéménides jusqu'aux débuts de l'islam. Il était alors prévu d'entamer dans la foulée le travail pour le volume I présentant une période allant de l'époque du néolithique jusqu'à l'empire néoassyrien. Pour diverses raisons, les préparatifs pour ce livre furent retardés et c'est seulement en 2002 qu'à la demande de la Direction Générale des Antiquités et des Musées de la République Syrienne, le travail reprit. Les collaborateurs pressentis pour les différentes parties se déclarèrent prêts à envoyer leurs textes et illustrations dans un délai raisonnable et au cours de l'année 2003 les premiers manuscrits parvinrent. Malheureusement, il fallut finalement une dizaine d'années pour réunir tous les textes compris dans ce volume. Entretemps, la recherche avait fait des progrès considérables, grâce à une activité intense de fouilles à laquelle participèrent directement un grand nombre de collaborateurs de ce volume. Les auteurs des manuscrits achevés depuis longtemps ont saisi l'opportunité d'actualiser leurs textes au regard de ces recherches récentes et d'intégrer dans leur bibliographie de nouvelles publications. Les éditeurs de ce volume remercient tous les collaborateurs pour leur patience et leur effort d'actualisation. Dans la recherche archéologique en Syrie, plusieurs systèmes chronologiques et désignations de périodes sont pratiqués. Les éditeurs n'ont pas estimé utile de pousser à une unification de la terminologie à l'intérieur de ce volume, celle-ci étant amenée à d'autres modifications dans les prochaines années, en raison d'initiatives telles que notamment ARCANE. Le tableau au page 584 essaie de donner une concordance des différentes terminologies pour l'âge de bronze en Syrie.

P. Bieliński, M. Gawlikowski, R. Koliński, D. Ławecka, A. Sołtysiak, Z. Wygnańska, Proceedings of the 8th International Congress of the Archaeology of Ancient Near East, 30 April-4 May 2012, University of Warsaw, Wiesbaden 2014: Harrassowitz. This paper presents the results of archaeological investigations carried out in Area II at Tell Kazel (Syria), during the 2002, 2003 and 2008 excavations. New architectural evidence and material provide further information on the evolution of a quarter of the town, in the transitional period between the Late Bronze and Iron Ages, as well as on the cultural and socioeconomic features of its inhabitants.

Utilizing material remains from Tell Qarqur on the Orontes River in western Syria, this thesis presents new insights on the transition from the Early Bronze Age (EBA) to the Middle Bronze Age (MBA). The traditional chronology for the northern Levant places this transition at c. 2000-1950 B.C., but new data from Tell Qarqur suggests the date was at least 100 years later. Archaeological sites across northern Mesopotamia and the southern Levant show evidence of abandonment during the EBA; in parts of the northern Levant, however, this pattern is not observed. Excavations at Tell Qarqur point towards an urban expansion at the end of the Early Bronze Age with a continuous sequence of occupation well into the 2 nd millennium B.C. Results combining new, secure radiocarbon evidence and pottery sequences-as well as comparisons with other sites in the northern
