With this application, a printing cost subsidy for the publication of volume 10 of the series QaṭnaStudien will be requested. The aim of the series is to present the final publications of the German-Syrian archaeological excavations at Qaṭna. The tenth volume contains a synthesis of the goldobjects from Qaṭna. With a number of approximately 1700 pieces, the gold objects are one of themost extensive and important groups of finds that came to light during the excavations at Qaṭna.The gold objects come almost without exception from the two royal tombs, the Royal Hypogeumand Tomb VII. These extraordinary find contexts provided the two largest gold inventories known todate from Syria and the Levant. Also with regard to the typological composition and the functionaland formal spectrum, the gold inventories from Qaṭna are without parallels in the archaeology ofthe area mentioned. Another important aspect of the material presented here is that with the lateBronze Age Royal Hypogeum and the Middle Bronze Age Tomb VII we have two find contexts ofgold objects which differ chronologically. Thus, for the first time, it is possible to take a close look atthe diachronic development of the Syrian gold craft during the second millennium BC.In view of this scientific significance of the material, the volume presented here pursues adouble objective: on the one hand, all 349 gold objects of Tomb VII are published here for the firsttime scientifically, whereby they are compared with the slightly younger gold finds from the RoyalHypogeum; on the other hand, this material is comprehensively evaluated and interpreted bymeans of a profound, supra-regional, comparative analysis. The analysis also includes questionsabout the function and significance of the gold objects. Consequently, the author has compiled allavailable information from archaeological and philological sources in order to trace the significanceand role of the gold objects in Qaṭna and in the other Syrian kingdoms of the Middle and LateBronze Ages.The manuscript presented is the revised version of Ivana Puljiz's dissertation, submitted inDecember 2016 and defended in May 2017. It was awarded the title "summa cum laude" by threereviewers and unanimously highlighted as an outstanding achievement in the reviews. Anappendix by Roland Schwab and Ernst Pernicka presenting the results of the archaeometricanalyses of the gold objects from Qaṭna rounds off the volume. In summary, this volume containsnot only the final evaluation and interpretation of the gold objects from Qaṭna, but can alsojustifiably claim to be a new standard work on gold in the Ancient Orient.

通过这一申请，将要求为出版《Qa nagratien》丛书第10卷提供印刷费用补贴。该系列的目的是介绍德国-叙利亚在Qa Alcohna考古发掘的最后出版物。第10卷包含了从Qa Alcohna合成的goldoblastine。这些金器大约有1700件，是在Qa Algina发掘期间发现的最广泛和最重要的发现之一。金器几乎无一例外来自两个皇家陵墓，即皇家地下室和七号墓。这些非同寻常的发现提供了迄今为止已知的叙利亚和黎凡特两个最大的黄金库存。此外，关于类型组成和功能和正式的频谱，从Qa Alcohna的黄金库存是在上述地区的考古学没有平行。另一个重要的方面的材料在这里是，与晚期青铜时代皇家地下室和中期青铜时代墓七，我们有两个发现的背景下，黄金对象不同的时间顺序。因此，这是第一次，有可能仔细研究叙利亚黄金工艺在公元前第二个千年的历时发展。鉴于材料的科学意义，这里介绍的卷追求双重目标：一方面，七号墓的349件金器是首次科学地在此公布，通过与皇家地下埋藏点发现的稍年轻的金矿进行比较，另一方面，通过深刻的、跨区域的比较分析，对这些材料进行了全面的评价和解释。分析还包括对金器的功能和意义的质疑。因此，作者从考古学和文献学来源中收集了大量信息，以追溯Qa Qouna和青铜时代中晚期其他叙利亚王国的黄金物品的意义和作用。所展示的手稿是Iwan-Puljiz博士论文的修订版，于2016年12月提交，并于2017年5月进行了答辩。它被三位评审员授予“最优异成绩”的称号，并在评审中一致强调为一项杰出成就。附录由罗兰施瓦布和恩斯特Pernicka提出的结果考古计量分析的黄金对象从Qa Alginna四舍五入的卷。总之，这本书不仅包含了对Qa Algonna黄金物品的最终评价和解释，而且可以说是古代东方黄金的新标准。
