TELL RAD SHAQRAH 1994
by Piotr Bieliński
The 1994 season was our fourth on Tell Rad Shaqrah and
the seventh in the Hassake Dams Area/ The season was rather
short, lasting from September 3 until October 9.
The main effort was concentrated on excavating a larger part of the
settlement itself in order to investigate the organisation of space
within the settlement as well as the domestic architecture. In was
also desired to establish the true nature of the Early Dynastic
settlement on Tell Rad Shaqrah.
Exploration concentrated in areas where living quarters had already
been exposed: "B" (in the southern part of the mound), "C"
(western part of the tell) and "D" (northern slope). The old
' The staff led by the author included: Mrs. Dorota Bielińska (Polish Academy
of Sciences), Miss Dorota Ławecka, Miss Anna Smogorzewska and Mr. Rafał
Koliński (all from the Institute of Archaeology, Warsaw University),
Mr. Andrzej Reiche (Warsaw National Museum) and Mr. Mirosław Olbryś
(Ateliers for Conservation of Cultural Property).
The effective operation of our mission was possible thanks to the
encouragement and help offered by the Direction General of Antiquities and
Museums of the Syrian Arab Republic. In first place 1 would like to express my
warmest gratitude to Dr. Sultan Muheissen, Director General, and to Dr. Adnan
Bounni, Director of Excavations for constant support and friendly advice.
The mission is much in debt to Mr. Jean-Simon Lazar, Director of Regional
Department of Antiquities in Hassake who helped us in solving many practical
problems. We acknowledge also the help of Mr. Ibrahim Mrad and Mr. Ahmad
Serriye who worked with us as representatives of the Direction General.
Mr. Serriye's help in the field was especially important during the last days of
the excavations. Finally we should mention here with gratitude
ELEKTROMONTAŻ Co. from Warsaw and its President Mr. Jerzy
Lewandowski for the financial support which was essential to the success of this
campaign.
