Once Again in this Amazing amphitheatre 🏛

25/12/2022

Une équipe de l'Institut national du patrimoine s'est lancée dans une fouille de sauvetage suite à la découverte de vestiges archéologiques de plusieurs citernes romaines susceptibles d'avoir fait partie des monuments de la ville romaine de Maxula, sous la supervision scientifique du chercheur Nizar bin Suleiman et les conseillers des conservateurs du patrimoine de Saad Zamzami et Amina Al-Ferjani. L'Institut est intervenu après le début des travaux de construction d'un complexe culturel dans l'église de Radès, et lors du creusement des fondations, des vestiges archéologiques ont été découverts spontanément, les travaux ont donc été arrêtés pour permettre l'intervention de l'Institut national du patrimoine.

A Siliana la découverte d'un moulin datant de l'époque romaine :
Le chercheur et représentant de l'Institut National du Patrimoine à Siliana, Shukri Touahri, a déclaré que dans le cadre des interventions de terrain de l'Institut National du Patrimoine et de l'impact des fouilles urgentes en conséquence de fouilles aléatoires dans certains sites archéologiques de la région de Sija au sud de Siliana, un fossile datant de la période romaine et byzantine a été découvert et mis en valeur.

La découverte est représentée, selon l'équipe de recherche archéologique, dans une presse et une habitation rurale, notant que la plupart des artefacts sont constitués de poterie faite à la main, de pierres polies et de récipients en poterie de grande taille, qui ont été transférés sur le site archéologique de Pyjama, où ils seront restaurés.

Les travaux sur le site se sont poursuivis pendant trois semaines, espérant être programmés d'une excavation de décombres à une excavation programmée pour révéler le reste des fouilles d'excavation.

Iraq: a 3,400-year-old city emerges from underwater.

-In northern Iraq, the dry season has brought to light the ruins of an ancient city dating from the Bronze Age, previously buried under the waters of the Mosul Dam. A race against time to excavate and document the site has just been launched by a team of Iraqi and German archaeologists, before the city disappears again under water.
More than 100 cuneiform tablets, perfectly preserved despite the decades spent under water, have also been unearthed. Dated to the Medio-Assyrian period, its antiquities are of interest to researchers who hope to discover information about the city and the beginnings of the Assyrian occupation in the region.

-The site is now submerged again by water. However, precautions have been taken to protect the excavated buildings. Hermetically sealed tarpaulins cover the remains, in order to preserve their condition until their next rise above the water level. Moreover, according to Dr. Qasim, head of the archaeological excavations, more than 500 archaeological sites have been brought out of the water due to the lowering of the water level on the eastern bank of the Tigris. These sites, still untouched, promise to be rich in history.
