| Summary: | The unmistakable architecture of a Syrian Christian church surprised the excavators of Tuneinir, a site of many ruins in northeastern Syria. Finds including a bread mold and stains on the church's plaster floor produced by dripping chandeliers re-animate the life of this medieval place of worship. Painted plaster lintels recapture the color and beauty of this uncommon mud-brick church. |
