| Summary: | 30 years after S. Helms’s paper “Land behind Damascus: Urbanism during the 4th Millenium in Syria/Palestine.”, new fields works and surveys allow the definition of specific landscapes (from the basaltic Hawran and Jawlan to the Kalamun mountains) in which the physical setting induces particular systems of water management and agricultural or pastoral organization. On one another hand, an analysis of architectural techniques and forms, pottery exchanges, lithics, defines “archaeological territories” or “cultural entities”. The topic of people mobility between territories is central. Changes which occurred during the Bronze Age are pointed out, and a historical frame for the 4th and the 3rd millennia proposed. |
