The volume publishes areas of completed excavations and various categories of finds recovered over the first decade of excavations at this important Hellenistic site in North Syria.

“This volume includes thoughtfully considered, well-written, and satisfyingly synthetic presentations on a broad selection of remains and artifacts … This is a terrific report in all respects – a full, clear, and interesting view of real life in Seleucid Syria. The team’s goal, as stated in Clarke’s introduction, was ‘to gain insight into the daily living of the inhabitants’. They have succeeded, and beautifully.” (A. Berlin, Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research 331, 2003, 88-91)
