Abstract

During the ninth field season at the Late Bronze Age city of Hala Sultan Tekke, excavations in City Quarter 1 (CQ1) continued and brought to light industrial and domestic structures belonging to three phases of occupation (Strata 3–1) dating to the 13th and 12th centuries BC (LC IIC–IIIA). Finds of more than half a ton of copper slag together with remains of furnaces and tuyères indicate intensive urban copper production. There is also evidence of textile production in CQ1. A magnetometer survey of roughly 23 ha resulted in the discovery of another large city quarter (CQ4) between CQ1 and Area A (the cemetery) with regularly arranged stone-built compounds of imposing dimensions intersected by streets. Several massive walls are faced with ashlar slabs which distinguishes this quarter from the industrial and domestic CQ1–3. A bathroom built of ashlar blocks with an advanced hydrological layout was exposed in CQ4 (Stratum 1, LC IIIA) together with a storage area for large vessels. Another rich tomb (Tomb RR) was excavated in Area A. It contained multi-burials together with tomb gifts from numerous Eastern Mediterranean cultures. One of the finds from Tomb RR is a complete large Mycenaean krater depicting two chariots drawn by two pairs of horses and 13 individuals, several of them with swords.

新瑞典塞浦路斯探险队2018:哈拉苏丹Tekke的发掘(Söderberg探险队)。初步结果，由J. Tracz和D. Kofel贡献

在青铜时代晚期城市Hala Sultan Tekke的第九个考古季节，在第1城区(CQ1)的挖掘工作继续进行，并带来了属于三个占领阶段(地层3-1)的轻工业和家庭建筑，这些建筑可追溯到公元前13世纪和12世纪(LC IIC-IIIA)。发现了超过半吨的铜渣，以及熔炉和熔炉的遗迹，表明城市铜生产密集。在CQ1也有纺织品生产的证据。在大约23公顷的磁力计调查中，在CQ1和A区(墓地)之间发现了另一个大型城区(CQ4)，其中有规则排列的石头建筑建筑群，规模宏大，与街道相交。几面巨大的墙壁上都有石板，这使这个季度与工业和民用CQ1-3区区别开来。在CQ4 (LC IIIA第1层)中，有一个由石砂块建造的浴室，具有先进的水文布局，还有一个大型船只的存储区。在a区出土了另一个丰富的古墓(古墓RR)，里面有多具墓葬和来自许多东地中海文化的墓葬礼物。古墓RR的发现之一是一件完整的迈锡尼大型陶器，描绘了两辆由两对马和13个人拉着的战车，其中有几个人拿着剑。

期刊介绍： Opuscula is published yearly by the Swedish Institutes at Athens and Rome. First issued in 2008 (no. 1), Opuscula replaces the annuals Opuscula Atheniensia and Opuscula Romana published by the Swedish Institute at Athens and the Swedish Institute in Rome respectively. The annual contains articles within classical archaeology, ancient history, art, architecture and philology, as well as book reviews within these subjects. Reports of fieldwork carried out under the supervision of the Institutes at Athens and Rome are regularly reported on in the Opuscula. The annual welcomes contributions pertaining to the ancient Mediterranean world (prehistory to Late Antiquity) and the Classical tradition and drawing on archaeological, historical and philological studies; also, contributions dealing with later periods in the areas, especially in the fields of art, architecture, history and cultural heritage.
