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.

通过此应用程序，将要求发布Qaṭnastudien系列第10卷的印刷成本补贴。该系列的目的是介绍Qaṭna的德国叙利亚档案发掘的最终出版物。第十卷包含来自Qaṭna的GoldObjects的合成。金色的物品是大约1700件，是在Qaṭna发掘期间揭示的最广泛，最重要的发现。金色物体几乎毫无例外地出现了两个皇家坟墓，即皇家缺宗墓，皇家坟墓。这些非凡的发现环境提供了从叙利亚和黎凡特知道的两个最大的黄金库存。同样，关于类型学组成和功能形式光谱，Qaṭna的黄金清单在提到的地区的考古学中没有相似之处。这里介绍的材料的另一个重要方面是，与后期的皇家年龄较高的皇家矮人和中间青铜时代的坟墓VII有两个发现的金属背景，它们在时间顺序上有所不同。这是第一次可以仔细研究叙利亚金色工艺品在公元前第二个千年中的直言性发展。另一方面，该材料经过全面评估和解释，对深度，超区域的比较分析的卑鄙。该分析还包括有关黄金对象的功能和意义的问题。因此，作者从考古和语言学来源汇编了可实现的信息，以追踪黄金物品在Qaṭna和其他中期和后期布朗兹时代的重要作用。该手稿是提出的手稿。 ThreeReviewers并一致强调了评论的杰出成就。 Roland Schwab和Ernst Pernicka撰写的Anappendix呈现了来自Qaṭna的金色对象的考古分析结果。总而言之，这一卷不仅包含对Qaṭna的黄金对象的最终评估和解释，而且还可以合理地声称是古代东方黄金的新标准作品。
