Dissertation

• Archaeological and geoarchaelogical investigation of the Aleppo hinterland

  The project aimed to obtain a picture of the Aleppo region (north-western Syria) as complete as possible, integrating all available data. Particular attention has been paid to the ancient written sources, and to archaeological and geoarchaeological information. A further objective was to understand the role of Aleppo as central place, and what relationship the core entertained with its periphery.
