Tell Tweini or ancient Gibala is located in the Syrian coastal plain and
represents the southernmost harbour of the Ugaritic Kingdom in the Late
Bronze Age. As one of the few sites under excavation in the Northern
Levant with a full archaeological sequence spanning the Early Bronze Age
IV (ca. 2400 BCE) up to the Iron Age III period (ca. 500 BCE), Tell
Tweini (Field A) is a key site for the study of the developments in the
Northern Levant especially where the Bronze to Iron Age transition is
concerned.
The yearly missions at Tell Tweini conducted by a
Belgian-Syrian team have halted since 2011; however, the continuous
research of the prodigious amount of data available has not. Over the
past years the research team headed by Joachim Bretschneider (University
of Ghent) has focused on the study of particular groups of artefacts,
ecofacts and landscape, resulting in new and exciting insights on
various aspects of the settlement of Tell Tweini presented in this book.
