Poblamiento romano en el Alto Éufrates Sirio

Abstract

Since 1989, among the works carried out by the Spanish Archaeological Mission in Syria, was an program of surveys and study of the territory in which there was digging (Tell Qara Quzaq and Tell Jamis). This program didn't only include a wide land area but also an extensive chronological horizon. This way, taking advantage of this archaeological research in the Euphrates you could verify the existence of numerous figured caves, of funeral nature some and monkish others. Soon after this line of initial research, this Thesis sees the light from the Instituto del Próximo Oriente Antiguo (IPOA) that offered me the possibility to study directly and in more intensity all the remains of Roman and Byzantine time that had been located in its continuous excavations and surveys in Syria, concretely in Qara Quzaq's environment, main centre of the archaeological mission from where the IPOA acted in this region.
