Document Details : Title: What Happened to Arabic-Geometric Pottery in Beirut? Author(s): VAN DER STEEN, Eveline J. Journal: ARAM Periodical Volume: 9 Issue: 1-2 Date: 1997 Pages: 121-127 DOI: 10.2143/ARAM.9.1.2002171 Abstract : In 1994 several excavations were conducted in the former suq of Beirut, by a number of different teams. One of these teams was that of Leiden University, headed by Dr. Margaret Steiner. Excavation of the site had to be finished within two months, after which the site would be demolished. In order to get as much information as possible within the time and means available, it was decided to divide the site into three areas, running from north to south. In the northernmost area the Islamic layers were fully excavated. In the middle area, the Islamic layers were removed and the Roman layers were excavated. A narrow street was found here, as well as rows of small rooms adjoining on either side, which were thought to be shops. The findings will be published by Dr. M.L. Steiner. |
