Geophysical Survey at archaeological sites in north-eastern Syria

Original language description

During the period of August 25 to September 4, 2008 geophysical surveys were carried out at the Neolithic, Copper Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age Tell- and Non-tell settlements (Tell Arbid Abyad, Tell Arbid (West-hill), Tell Khirbet Shane, Tell Khirbet Bezi) in the Khabur region - Northeast Syria (Syrian-Polish-Czech expedition). Total prospected area was 11,25 ha. The results of geophysical survey in Khabur territory are in several places different. The survey registered a number of circular and oval-shaped anomalies. Some of these anomalies can be interpreted as a possible fireplaces or kilns. Other magnetic anomalies can be interpreted as trace of intensive agricultural activities. Survey registered also anomalies, they can be interpreted like a houses. A clear definition of detected archaeological structures is in most cases impossible. However it turned out, geophysical prospection has a big potential also in this region of Syria.
