Archaeological Research at Tell Feheriye/Syria

自20世纪20年代以来，人们一直在讨论青铜时代晚期Tell Fekheriye定居点作为Khabur源头地区中心的重要性。然而，只有在2006年至2010年的发掘期间，才在泰尔河西坡发现了大片青铜时代晚期的占领区域。有了这些发掘的证据，对这个遗址与米塔尼首都Washshukanni和中亚述省中心Ashshukanni分别的历史鉴定的主要问题的答案变得考古学上切实可行。尽管叙利亚持续的政治危机阻碍了2010年之后的实地研究计划，但已取得的挖掘成果使当地聚居历史和遗址的超区域地缘政治和文化历史地位的问题得到了解答。Tell Fekheriye的野外工作突然结束，要求重新安排工作计划，现在立即针对最终公布挖掘结果。这些出版物将以英文发表在“费赫里耶挖掘报告”系列中，由几位作者编写，涵盖以下主题：(1)费赫里耶的职业顺序和第二千年晚期的建筑；(2)告诉Fekheriye：青铜时代晚期的陶器。陶瓷组合;(3)来自Tell Fekheriye的中亚述印章和印章印痕（对Mittani时期的印章印痕有贡献）；(4) Tell Fekheriye的墓葬；(5)告诉Fekheriye。文化历史发展论文集

The importance of the Late Bronze Age settlement at Tell Fekheriye as central placein the Khabur headwater region has been discussed since the 1920ies. However, only during the excavations from 2006 to 2010 large areas of the Late Bronze Age occupation were exposed at the western slope of the Tell. With the evidence of these excavations the answer to the main question of the historical identification of this site with the Mittani capital Washshukanni and the Middle Assyrian provincial center Ashshukanni respectively becomes archaeologically tangible. And although the ongoing political crisis in Syria has hindered the planned field research after 2010, the achieved excavation results enabled answers to the questions of the local settlement history and the supra-regional geopolitical and cultural historic position of the site. The abrupt end of the fieldwork at Tell Fekheriye demanded the reorganization of the working program which now is immediately directed toward the final publication of the excavation results. The publications will appear in English language in the series "Tell Fekheriye Excavation Reports" and prepared by several authors who cover the following subjects: (1) The Occupational Sequence and Late Second Millennium Architecture at Tell Fekheriye; (2) Tell Fekheriye: The Late Bronze Age Pottery. Ceramic Assemblages; (3) The Middle Assyrian Seals and Seal Impressions from Tell Fekheriye (with a contribution on the Mittani period seal impressions); (4) The Burials at Tell Fekheriye; (5) Tell Fekheriye Through the Ages. Collected Essays on the Cultural and Historic Development
