A Study on the Urbanization in West Asia

我们在叙利亚干燥的内陆地区（Al-Raqqa）和湿润的地中海地区（Idlib）进行了考古发掘。这些挖掘的目的是研究每个地区的城市化发展。根据出土资料，我们重建了这两个地区从新石器时代到青铜时代的历史。城市化进程可能与每个地区部落社会的发展有关。我们还对泥板上的古亚摩利人和阿拉姆人的名字以及闪米特人的乌海玛进行了语言分析。

We undertook archaeological excavations in a dry inland area (Al-Raqqa) and a humid Mediterranean area (Idlib) in Syria. The purpose of these excavations was to study the development of urbanization in each area. Based on the material obtained from the excavations, we reconstructed the two regions history from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. The urbanization process may be connected with the development of tribal societies in each area. We also carried out linguistic analysis of the old Amorite and Aramaic names and Semitic urheimat on the clay tablets.
