PALMYRA
by Michal Gawlikowski
This 34^ season lasted from August 30 to October b, 1993,
continuing the excavations in the sector allotted to the Mission bv
the Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums in 1988,
covering three blocks north of the Great Colonnade between the
Tetrapyle and the Funerary Temple, and south of the two
unexcavated churches to be seen in the direction of Zenobia Hotel.
The excavations concerned this year, for the third time, the
residential part of this area (House N). In previous seasons (1988
and 1990) over 1000 have already been cleared, revealing
incompletely a single house divided into two separate units and
extending beyond the excavation limits. This year a further 450
rn^ were uncovered, bringing the total house area up to about 1500
m^. We think indeed that the house is now excavated in its
entirety, in spite of two passages going beyond the southern limit
1 The mission included, beside the present writer, Dr. Maria Krogulska, Dr.
Grzegorz Majcherek, Mr. Janusz Bylinski, Mr. Slawomir Kowalski, Mr.
Waldemar Jerke, Miss Dagmara Wielgosz, Miss Anna Witecka. Thanks to the
support of the Foundation Max van Berchem, Geneva, we had the assistance of
Messrs. Mario Borges and Constantin Socratidis, both professors at the Ecole
d’Architecture, Geneva University. Mrs. Krystyna Gawlikowska, an art
historian, was present in private capacity.
We gratefully acknowledge the unfailing hospitality and helpful
cooperation of the officials of the Palmyra Museum, Mr. Khaled As‘ad, Director
I Antiquities and Museums of Palmyra region, and his associate Mr. Ali Taha,
b ih of whom served as inspectors attached to the Mission.
