P. Pfälzner - M. al-Maqdissi (Hrsg.), Qatna and the Networks of Bronze Age Globalism, Akten einer internationalen Konferenz in Stuttgart im Oktober 2009, Qatna Studien Supplementa, Band 2

2009年10月，在斯图加特“古代叙利亚的宝藏--卡塔尔王国的发现”展览开幕之际，在“卡塔尔与青铜时代全球主义网络”国际会议上发表了45篇论文，其中38篇发表在该卷中。此外，还有6篇论文来自研究人员，他们不能参加会议或当时还没有得到他们的结果。总而言之，所有参与的科学家，特别是来自德国、意大利和叙利亚在卡塔尔工作的三个小组的年轻研究人员都为这本书做出了贡献。这就形成了卡特纳现代研究的完整图景。没有其他地方能如此完整地概述卡特纳的考古调查结果。同样重要的是，这本书包括了许多国际学者的贡献，他们不是卡塔尔项目的一部分，他们对卡塔尔的材料发表了自己的观点。他们评估了来自卡塔尔的新发现和数据的重要性，并将它们与同一时期其他地点的结果进行了比较。这就形成了卡塔尔及其地区文化发展的第一幅综合图景。

The volume contains 38 of the 45 papers presented at the international conference „Qatna and the Networks of Bronze Age Globalism“, held in October 2009 on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition “Treasures of Ancient Syria – The Discovery of the Kingdom of Qatna” in Stuttgart. In addition, six more papers were included from researchers, who could not participate at the conference or who had not yet available their results at that time. In summary, all involved scientists and in particular also the young researches of the three teams from Germany, Italy and Syria working at Qatna contributed to this volume. This results in a complete picture of the modern research at Qatna. At no other place is such a complete overview of the results of archaeological investigations at Qatna available. It is also of great importance that the volume includes contributions of many international scholars, who are not part of the project at Qatna and who present their view on the materials from Qatna. They evaluate the importance of the new discoveries and data from Qatna and compare them to results from other sites of the same periods. This results in a first synthetic picture of the cultural development of Qatna and its region.
