The book series is dedicated to the results of fieldwork in the city of Doliche, located in modern Gaziantep, South Turkey. Founded in the Hellenistic period, Doliche became a regional urban centre in Roman times and continued to thrive in the Middle Ages. Today, Doliche offers the unique opportunity to study urbanism and urbanity in the region of ancient North Syria. The volumes deal with all aspects of the history and archaeology of Doliche.
This book accounts for the results of fieldwork in Doliche, located in Gaziantep, South East Turkey. Doliche was an important city of ancient North Syria which continued to thrive into the Middle Ages. For the first time, an international research project started to explore the site in 2015. The chapters collected in this volume discuss the main discoveries of the first seasons. It is divided in two parts. The first part considers the main excavation results, with a particular emphasis on a newly discovered early Christian basilica and its decoration. This section also contains the first comprehensive discussion of a newly discovered Roman Imperial hypogeum from the city necropolis. The chapters of the second part deal with the preliminary findings from an intra-urban intensive survey. Between 2017 and 2019, a significant portion of the city area has been investigated, and the results of the survey offer new insights in the spatial and chronological of the city. The chapters consider methodological questions, but also discuss artefact groups. In general, the results presented in this volume add to the knowledge of urbanism in Roman and Late antique North Syria.
