| Summary: | This article presents the results of the excavations at Tell Hadidi in Syria between 1974 and 1978. It concentrates on the Bronze Age remains, in particular the Early Bronze Age sequence not presented in detail in previous reports. It is now possible not only to elucidate a complete sequence of the periods at Tell Hadidi but also to fill in the basic outline with significant detail in many chronological phases. The sequence at the beginning of the Bronze Age provides a particularly important bridge between earlier Protoliterate remains and the beginning of the Early Bronze Age tradition. Stratified diagnostic sherds define the EB I and EB II phases and provide solid links to other excavated sequences. A large corpus of tomb pottery fills out the basic stratified sequence for EB III through EB IV and provides significant material with which to refine a rich ceramic inventory. Limited but valuable evidence for parallels with different regional traditions are noted. The Middle and Late Bronze Age sequences, reported previously, are reviewed only briefly. |
