Abstract

V originále

During the period of August 25 to September 4, 2008 geophysical surveys were carried out at the Neolithic, Copper Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age Tell- and Non-tell settlements (Tell Arbid Abyad, Tell Arbid (West-hill), Tell Khirbet Shane, Tell Khirbet Bezi) in the Khabur region - Northeast Syria (Syrian-Polish-Czech expedition). Total prospected area was 11,25 ha. The results of geophysical survey in Khabur territory are in several places different. The survey registered a number of circular and oval-shaped anomalies. Some of these anomalies can be interpreted as a possible fireplaces or kilns. Other magnetic anomalies can be interpreted as trace of intensive agricultural activities. Survey registered also anomalies, they can be interpreted like a houses. A clear definition of detected archaeological structures is in most cases impossible. However it turned out, geophysical prospection has a big potential also in this region of Syria.
