La Missione Archeologica Turco-Italiana a Karkemish, che opera dal 2011 sotto la direzione di Nicolò Marchetti (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna), ha implementato una strategia di ricerca a lungo termine sul campo con l’obiettivo di fornire una nuova interpretazione della storia della città, attraverso la ricostruzione dell’impianto urbano e dello sviluppo della cultura materiale. Questo rapporto finale, riguardante gli scavi nell’area G (localizzata ai piedi dell’acropoli a ovest del Lower Palace), svolti tra il 2012 ed il 2014, si inserisce all’interno di tale programma di ricerca, fornendo nuovi dati sulla sequenza cronologica della Inner Town di Karkemish e sul significato di questi dati per la storia dell’occupazione della città bassa. Oltre all’analisi stratigrafica delle evidenze strutturali e alla caratterizzazione della cultura materiale, sono qui inclusi in appendice tre studi di zooarcheologia, paleobotanica e numismatica.
The aim of the Turco-Italian Archaeological Expedition at Karkemish, directed by Nicolò Marchetti (Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna) since 2011, is to implement a long-term research strategy seeking to elucidate the history of the town, explore its urban layout and cultural sequence through the ages. Within this framework, this final report on the 2012-2014 excavations in Area G, located to the West of the Lower Palace Area, at the foot of the Acropolis, presents the results on the chronological sequence of the Inner Town of Karkemish as well as the significance of this area for the reconstruction of the urban layout of this site. Beside the stratigraphic analysis of the structural evidence and the characterization of material culture, three Appendices on zooarchaeological, paleobotanical and numismatic studies are included.
