The Archaeological Research on the 2nd Millennium B.C. in Mesopotamia

为了建立一个确定的公元前2000年的美索不达米亚年表，根据考古证据，实际上是从地层发掘中得到的，我们在慕尼黑举行了第一次和第二次会议（1987-1988）。第三次在东京举行（1989年）。在1987年的第一次会议上，我们研究了分别由日本探险队和德国探险队在伊拉克北部发掘的Tell Jigan和Tall Hamad Aga as-Sagir的地层证据；因此决定解决许多问题，首先，在过去建造的美索不达米亚北部的年表；并在1988年的第二次会议上提出了寻找问题最佳解决方案的观点。除了第三次会议，我们在1989年举行了一个研讨会，整合公元前第二个千年的年表，在伊拉克北部和南部，叙利亚和土耳其，这些都是不同的；然而，这一整合还需要进一步考虑。此外，我们设想一项计划，出版一份报告，其中包括研讨会发言人的专著、这项研究的最新成果等。

In order to establish a firm Mesopotamian chronolgy of the 2nd millennium B.C., based on archaeological evidence which was actually derived from stratigraphic excavations, we held the first and second meetings in Munich (1987-1988). and the third meeting in Tokyo (1989).In the first meeting, 1987, we examined stratigraphic evidence from Tell Jigan and Tall Hamad Aga as-Sagir, excavated by the Japanese and the German Expedition respectively in north Iraq; consequently decided to solve many problems, first of all, in a northern Mesopotamia chronology roconstructed in the past; and had arguments for finding the best solutions of the problems in the second meeting, 1988.Besides the third meeting, we held a symposium in 1989 for integrating the chronologies of the 2nd millennium B.C.,in north and south Iraq, Syria and Turkey that are various; however, further consideration is yet requried for this integration.For the further, we envisage a plan to publish a report containing monographs of speakers in the symposium, the up-to-date outcome of this research, etc.
