Abstract

Before standardized context forms, before section drawing, and before photography, archaeology was recorded in field notebooks. Field diaries are perhaps the archetypal archaeological document both in the field and in the archive, and they persist in various contemporary forms as a key means of recording. Based on archaeological field diaries made in Syria during the French Mandate, in particular those of Clark Hopkins at Dura-Europos and Harald Ingholt at Palmyra, this article looks to the inclusions, elisions, and absences in archaeological field notebooks and asks whether it might be possible to reexamine the history of Mandate-era archaeology in Syria through them.

逆向阅读田野日记：叙利亚考古学中的名人与缺席者

在标准化的文脉表、断面图和摄影之前，考古工作是通过田野笔记本记录的。田野日记可能是田野和档案中最典型的考古文件，并以各种当代形式作为一种重要的记录手段持续存在。本文以法国委任统治时期叙利亚的考古田野日记为基础，特别是克拉克-霍普金斯（Clark Hopkins）在杜拉-欧罗巴斯（Dura-Europos）和哈拉尔德-英格霍尔特（Harald Ingholt）在巴尔米拉（Palmyra）的考古田野日记，探讨考古田野笔记中的包含、忽略和缺失，并提出是否有可能通过它们重新审视委任统治时期叙利亚考古学的历史。

期刊介绍： Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies (JEMAHS) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to traditional, anthropological, social, and applied archaeologies of the Eastern Mediterranean, encompassing both prehistoric and historic periods. The journal’s geographic range spans three continents and brings together, as no academic periodical has done before, the archaeologies of Greece and the Aegean, Anatolia, the Levant, Cyprus, Egypt and North Africa. As the publication will not be identified with any particular archaeological discipline, the editors invite articles from all varieties of professionals who work on the past cultures of the modern countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Similarly, a broad range of topics are covered, including, but by no means limited to: Excavation and survey field results; Landscape archaeology and GIS; Underwater archaeology; Archaeological sciences and archaeometry; Material culture studies; Ethnoarchaeology; Social archaeology; Conservation and heritage studies; Cultural heritage management; Sustainable tourism development; and New technologies/virtual reality.
