Preliminary Report on the Excavations at Tell Rifa'at
Tell Rifa‘at, in the ‘Azaz Casa, is situated in the midst of the village of the same name, thirty-five kilometres to the north of Aleppo in the Syrian Region of the United Arab Republic.The modern village, with a population of 5–6,000, is the seat of a Mudir Nahir; it lies five kilometres east of the Aleppo-‘Azaz road, close to the Turkish border, and is on the railway line from Aleppo to Istanbul. Trial excavations were made on this site by the …
A Painted Pottery of the Second Millennium from Southern Turkey and Northern Syria
So many different types of painted pottery have been found in the Near East and left unrelated that it seems important to recognise the constituent members of a single family where possible. Here an attempt will be made to identify a distinctive group of pottery which was made more or less contemporaneously in various parts of Turkey and North Syria between c. 1900 and c. 1550 B.C. This fabric is sufficiently similar in form, design and colour to…
The Excavations at Sakce Gözü
It is now just on forty years since Professor Garstang made his first excavations in the mounds of Sakce Gözü (then known as Sak je Geuzi) accompanied by Mr. (now Canon) Phythian Adams and Mr. Hamilton Beattie. The first indication of the site had been the discovery of sculptured Hittite blocks on the surface in 1907. The excavations were conducted in the autumn of 1908 and 1911, and the weather was hot and sultry. To avoid malaria, the excavator…

Neolithic Burnished Wares in the Near East
This paper is solely concerned with that group of burnished and incised Neolithic wares which occur in various sites in the Near East, chiefly in North Syria, Iraq and South Turkey. Sufficient excavation has now taken place to make some comparison between the wares found on these sites possible. There is still, however, much to be done and there remains an unfortunate lack of agreement among archæologists as to what shall be termed Neolithic. In …
