C. the vast steppes of Central Asia, were first described by Herodotus (5 century B. C.) as mounted nomads and feared warriors. This view was only little altered through the times until today. Even modern archaeology tries to verify this picture from antique times. Archaeological research nowadays is still considering the Scythians as nomads and concentrates mainly on the investigation of their burial buildings so called kurgans and on their admirable craftmenship and art style especially for metal work. Although one would think that these capabilities, the organisation and management of numerous people for constructing the huge kurgans, and the highly developed art style in metal work arc not likely for people living in the saddle. But the idea of searching for permanent habitations or settlements of the Scythians still would cause a mild smile by most scholars in the field of Central Eurasian archaeology. In the course of a joint project the Russian colleagues offered the opportunity for investigating a small fortified settlement of the Scythians which was recently discovered in the Baraba steppe south of Barabinsk in Southern Siberia near Cicah. Trial trenches excavated by the Russian archaeologists unearthed a grubenhaus inside a rather small ditched enclosure at the steep shore of a lake. Dating by typological reasons of the ceramics indicates a narrow spectrum in the 8\"' and the 7 century B. C , which would be clearly Scythian period. It seems rather astonishing that there are still archaeological structures from the late Bronze Age or the Early Iron Age visible on the surface and well preserved, but the steppe seems to be almost resistant against erosion (Fig. I). In preparation of the planned excavation of the site at a bigger scale in 2000 the Department for Archaeological Prospection and Aerial Archaeology of the Bavarian State Conservation Office was asked for a geophysical prospection measurement in 1999.Thc Scythian site of Cicah, partly ploughed in the surrounding area, was also surveyed by field walking through our Russian archaeologist colleagues under Marina Chemyakina from the Siberian Academy, which resulted in a vast distribution of ceramics, stone tools and slags far beyond the ditched site visible on the surface. On the base of this distribution a 40 m grid over 400 x 120 m, laterly enlarged to 400 x 200 m (8 hectare) covering the whole area was topographically surveyed and marked by wooden pegs.

Khaldoun Kotaish. Bassam al-Shamali, Nazih Jaramani. Dafer Saif). Around the end of the 5 or beginning of the 6 century the city Resafa-Sergiupolis had been fortified. The reliquary of Holy Sergius held in the chappel beside the basilica was not only a centre for pilgrimage of Christians but also of Muslims. One of them was Hisam b. Abd al-Malik, who built at the northern side of the reliquary chappel with an direct entrance to the sanctuary the Great Mosque. Hisam already as prince loved this place in the desert, when the valley of the Euphrates became more and more contaminated by pestilence. It was also here in the desert, when Hisam got the news of his appointment to be caliph (reign from 105/724 to 125/743). and he decided to built south of Resafa-Sergiupolis his new residence Rcsafa-Rusafat Hisam, which became the new name for the city too. In this huge area (about 3 square kilometres) 1977 a basic survey by fieldwalking and a topographical survey were made, followed 20 years later by a first geophysical prospection. which will be described here. From the first survey in 1977 a rather extensive idea about the charakter of Hisam's residence could be drawn as a loose agglomeration of six palaces with farmhouses and public utilities. The archaeological investigations of the city and the surrounding landscape resulted in a rather precise dating of the place by numismatic evidence from the early Abbasid period to the second half of the 8* century (136/753-54 or 146/763-64). This means that in the seconde quarter of the 8\" century there existed besides the fortified byzantine city, which still was a centre for pilgrimage until the 13 century, the Islamic residence, which was never fortified. Nowadays in the whole area of this residence many relicts of mudbrick-buildings still can be seen by their sunken walls, which form features like dikes. In the extremly wet spring in 1997 and 1998 many details of the architecture could be observed as damp marks on the ground. These marks were not stable at all and vanished few hours later. Therefore it was impossible to document these phantom features. But for some cases when the magnetization contrast of the mudbrick buildings against their surrounding becomes negligible this would be the only method of tracing theses houses, because there is almost no contrast in resistivity too. After the test measurement in 1997.
