Document Details : Title: Medieval Pottery from Beirut's Downtown Excavations Subtitle: The First Results Author(s): EL-MASRI, Sami Journal: ARAM Periodical Volume: 9 Issue: 1-2 Date: 1997 Pages: 103-119 DOI: 10.2143/ARAM.9.1.2002170 Abstract : Downtown Beirut, an area destroyed and abandoned throughout the war, is cur- rently the object of intense urban reconstruction. Endowed with more than 4000 years of history stretching from the Bronze Age until the present day, the devastated city arouses the interests of developers and archaeologists alike. Investigating the city's ur- ban history and material culture is a process concomitant with and contributing to the current urban reconstruction and development processes of the city centre. |
