The third volume about the Euro-Syrian excavations at Tell Beydar constitutes the progress report of the 2000 to 2002 seasons of excavations and the 2003 - 2004 (springtime) seasons of architectural restoration. The central acropolis is currently almost completely uncovered, revealing the Early Jezirah IIIb administrative centre of the ancient city of Nabada. Immediately S of the acropolis, three temples (B, C and D), workshops and storerooms are located in a specific quarter. Soundings have been initiated below the floors of the EJ IIIb Palace and Temple A, reaching official architecture from the EJ IIIa period. B Field has been extended, providing more private houses. Private houses were discovered as well in Field Q. A new area of excavations (P) is scheduled to survey the E part of the city. W of Temple C, a new area of excavations (M/O) reaches a quarter of the city seemingly devoted to handicraft and economical purposes. The hellenistic building of Area A provides clues about architecture, pottery and stratigraphy of a poorly documented period in Upper Mesopotamia. In 2003 a large programme of architectural restoration has been launched, having as main priority the preservation of the EJ IIIb official buildings of the central acropolis. The methods of consolidation/restoration/reconstruction are detailed in the volume. The hellenistic building of Area A has been restored as well. English and French text.

The Congress hosted 611 registered participants from 38 countries. Its aim was to be an international forum for scholars and demands of Near Eastern Archaeology. From the four sections of the Congress, [Vol. I: 1) The Reconstruction of Environment. Natural Resources and Human Interrelation through Time, 2) Visual Communication ISBN 978-3-447-05703-5], Vol. II: 3) Social and Cultural Transformation: The Archaeology of Transitional Periods and Dark Ages, 4) Archaeological Field Reports (Excavations, Surveys, Conservation) Together these volumes unite 77 contributions on about 1100 pages. They are arranged according to the sections. The rst three will be introduced by the key lectures which were given by Tony Wilkinson, Winfried Orthmann, and Roger Matthews. The resumes of these sections were provided by Wendy Matthews, Dominik Bonatz, and Diederik J.W. Meijer. The contributions cover many aspects of the main themes through time, from the Neolithic to the Hellenistic / Roman period, and offer interdisciplinary approaches to complex archaeological problems.

Cet ouvrage collectif presente les resultats preliminaires des campagnes de fouilles qui ont ete menees par la mission archeologique canadienne en Syrie sur le site de Tell 'Acharneh en 1998, 2001 et 2002, ainsi que de la saison d'etude du materiel archeologique, issu de ces fouilles, qui eut lieu en 2004 au Musee de Hama. Les rapports de fouilles sur les campagnes annuelles, prepares par le directeur de la mission, decrivent les decouvertes architecturales en regard de la chrono-stratigraphie du site. Ces rapports sont completes par des etudes specialisees, realisees par differents experts, portant sur certaines categories d'artefacts recueillies au cours de ces fouilles: ceramique, pieces de monnaie et fragments d'artefacts en pierre taillee. Puisque Tell 'Acharneh pourrait bien correspondre a la ville antique de Tunip mentionnee dans plusieurs textes anciens, les etudes archeologiques sont precedees d'articles traitant de documents epigraphiques, deja connus, relatifs a cette ville. Au Moyen Age, Tell 'Acharneh aurait ete designe par le toponyme de Tal Ibn Macher d'apres la lecture de certaines chroniques de l'epoque qui sont ici commentees.
