Bassit 2 (Syrie) – Fouilles Paul Courbin (1971-1984)
Le tell du XVIe siecle av. J.- C. au VIe siecle ap. J.- C.
by Frank Braemer and Pascal Darcque
A 50 km au Nord de Lattaquie, le site cotier de Bassit a ete etudie sous la direction de Paul Courbin : apres lacropole (19711972) (periodes hellenistique et romaine), et la necropole du Fer (19731974), le tell a ete fouille de 1972 a 1984. Sont presentes ici une description detaillee de la stratigraphie et de larchitecture du tell , des ensembles ceramiques associes, ainsi que le corpus du mobilier datant du Bronze Recent I et II. Bassit est installe aux marges Nord du royaume dOugarit a partir du milieu du XVIe s. av. J.-C.. Les importations chypriotes sont nombreuses durant tout le Bronze Recent, mais la ceramique egeenne apparait tres rare. Le site est detruit bien avant le passage des peuples de la mer (vers 1200). A lage du Fer, la fonction constante de Bassit est de controler lacces maritime depuis Chypre et le cabotage littoral. Le commerce de la ceramique chypriote domine le Fer I et II, celui des ceramiques egeennes et etrusques, puis attiques, le Fer III. A lepoque hellenistique, la production damphores et de monnaies confirme lidentification de Posideion avec Bassit. Lepoque romaine est egalement marquee par une importante production de ceramique.
