Hellenistic Jebel Khalid on the Euphrates,North Syria: the archaeology and history of a Seleucid settlement

杰贝勒哈立德是守卫幼发拉底河上一个战略过境点的一个设防大镇，似乎是在塞琉西时期早期作为军事殖民地而建立的。挖掘揭示了移民希腊/马其顿殖民者在多大程度上定居下来，与当地居民生活在一起。它还揭示了许多关于希腊国防系统的信息；关于希腊建筑和城市规划(公共和国内)如何适应当地条件的信息；关于公民便利设施以及国内和宗教生活的信息；关于经济和贸易联系的信息。对希腊陶器的年代测定也建立了重要的地层控制，无论是进口的还是当地的陶器。

Jebel Khalid, a large fortified town guarding a strategic crossing-point on the Euphrates, appears to have been established as a military colony early in the Seleucid period (?=Syrian Amphipolis). Excavation is revealing how far the immigrant Greek/Macedonian colonists settled down to live with the native populations. It is also revealing much about Greek defence systems; about adaptations of Greek architecture and town-planning (both public and domestic) to local conditions; about civic amenities as well as domestic and religious life; about economic and trading contacts. Important stratigraphic control is also being established over dating Hellenistic pottery, both imported and local wares.
