Extract

The eleventh and twelfth seasons of excavations at Tell Brak in North-eastern Syria took place in the spring of 1990 and 1991, from about the middle of March to the end of May in each year. The work was sponsored and generously supported by the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge. Generous contributions were also received from the National Geographic Society, the British Academy and the British School of Archaeology in Iraq. It is a pleasant obligation, as always, to record our gratitude to our sponsoring bodies and also to Dr. Ali Abou Assaf, Director General of Antiquities and Museums, and to Dr. Adnan Bounni, Director of Excavations, both for their generous cooperation in administrative matters and for their scholarly and friendly interest in our work. Our thanks go also to their staff in Damascus, Aleppo, Deir ez Zor and Hasake for all the practical help we have received from them, and especially to Sayid Assad Mahmud, Director of Antiquities, Deir ez Zor Museum, in whose keeping the antiquities from Tell Brak now are, and to our representatives, Sayid Bassam Jamus and Sayid Hussein Yusuf in 1990, and Sayid Heitham Hassan and Sayid Ibrahim Mustafa in 1991. Once again, HE the Governor of Hasake Province and all local officials with whom we came in contact gave us encouragement and support. We owe much to all our Syrian friends.
