  • To investigate in detail (1) the socio-economic development of northern Syria in later prehistory, ca. 6800-5000 BC, and (2) the organization and structure of the Assyrian kingdom in northern Syria in the Late Bronze Age, ca. 1300-1100 BC. Where and how did people live in the Balikh valley during the past millennia?
