Carved Basalt Slab
Description
An account of the resource
This carved basalt slab contains cruciform imagery but is extremely unlikely to have come from a church, as such motifs were widespread in the Roman and Late Antique periods and often were intended as abstract designs rather than having an underlying meaning.

A name given to the resource
Basalt Door
Description
An account of the resource
These basalt doors are found across Syria, but generally most frequently originate from the Syrian Limestone Massif around Aleppo and Idlib provinces. They are found throughout the Late Antique period and were a particular feature of tower-houses occupied by multiple families. In some cases these doors have remained in situ, thus enabling us to see how they would have been far easier to operate than the modern viewer would expect.

Description
An account of the resource
This Roman sarcophagus in the gardens of the National Museum illustrates the working methods of Roman artisans as the decoration is roughly blocked out but crucially left unfinished so that the purchaser could dictate exactly how they wanted the object to be completed.

The Citadel of Zalabiyeh on the Euphrates
Description
An account of the resource
The salvage excavation of the Byzantine/Early Islamic citadel of Zalabiyeh on the River Euphrates in Syria. This project was begun in 2010 as a salvage mission due to the risk to the site posed by the projected construction of a dam as part of a hydro-electricity scheme. The project has been mothballed since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011.<br /><br />The data published here are the records of that first season of fieldwork in 2010. This includes interim site reports for the Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums (DGAM) and funding bodies, photographs of the site fortifications and images of the excavations. It also includes all pictures of the small finds that were recorded and stored in the Deir Ez Zor Museum and are now believed destroyed due to the presence of IS in the city as a consequence of the Syrian Civil War.
