90 years and counting: Ongoing research on Hama, inland Western Syria

Between 1931 and 1938, a team of Danish archaeologists excavated the ancient site of Hama in inland Western Syria. A substantial portion of the discovered artifacts has been preserved in the National Museum of Denmark. Since then, sporadic research on the collection has been carried out. Most recent...

Entre 1931 et 1938, une équipe d’archéologues danois a fouillé le site antique de Hama, situé au cœur de la Syrie occidentale. Une partie substantielle des artefacts découverts est ainsi conservée au Musée national du Danemark et, depuis, des recherches sporadiques ont été menées sur cette collection. Plus récemment, deux projets de recherche interdisciplinaires ont entrepris une série d’analyses, notamment en archéométrie, datation au carbone 14 (14C), archéomagnétisme, analyse des résidus, archéobotanique, archéozoologie et analyse des empreintes digitales, afin d’explorer plus en profondeur l’ampleur et la complexité de l’occupation de cette ville.Hama demeure un site-clé pour l’archéologie de la Syrie occidentale. Cet article retrace l’évolution des recherches menées sur ce site et montre comment des fouilles réalisées il y a près de 90 ans continuent d’apporter des données précieuses pour les études actuelles sur le Proche-Orient. Il permet également de souligner l’importance de réexaminer les collections anciennes, en particulier celles provenant de régions comme la Syrie, où les travaux de terrain restent actuellement impossibles.
