| Izvleček: | This collective publication brings together the work of researchers that contribute to highlighting the interest of conducting systematic archaeological research in the context of partly rock funerary spaces, occupied from the Hellenistic to the Islamic period, in the middle valley of the Euphrates. The site of Apamea on the Euphrates, now submerged under the waters of a dam lake, was explored from 1996 to 1999 by still unpublished salvage excavations conducted in the city itself, as well as in the funerary spaces around it. The latter are the subject of this work. Thirty-two tombs have been studied, sometimes partially, to which are added two tombs previously identified. Despite the difficulties inherent in this type of salvage excavations, the team approached these contexts with the desire to integrate all the data from the field by applying the most rigorous multidisciplinary methodology possible, very rarely used in Middle Eastern funerary contexts marked by numerous reoccupations that often discourage archaeologists. Taking into account the data delivered by the architecture of the tombs, but also by all the material brought to light, however modest it may be, its spatial distribution and, in less disturbed contexts, stratigraphy, this approach makes it possible to propose new hypotheses. One can follow the evolution of the occupation of the territory on the eastern bank of the Middle Euphrates during the millennium when these funerary spaces were in use. New elements allow to propose a chronology for different types of rock cut tombs, until now very poorly dated for lack of excavation. These tombs also provided many new data on the typology of vases or lamps of regional production, still little known, but also about funerary practices and their evolution as well as on the links maintained by the populations of this bank of the river with local traditions, but also Anatolian, Greek and Western contributions. |
