Small Objects and the Dog Burials
edited by Helene Sader and Uwe Finkbeiner
The Salvage excavations that have taken place in the Beirut Central District before its reconstruction in the aftermath of the Lebanese armed conflict, have unveiled large portions of the ancient city’s history. The German-Lebanese team in charge of excavating the area labelled BEY 020, was one among fifteen others who were involved in this titanic task, which was continued after the year 2000 by the archaeologists of the Directorate General of Antiquities. The present volume III, “Small Objects and the Dog Burials” is the first of a series of three dealing with the final results of the German-Lebanese excavations on the site BEY 020. Volume I will cover “Architecture and Stratigraphy”, volume II will be devoted to “Pottery”. Followed by an introduction to the historical setting and the stratigraphy, chapters of Part I deals with objects of clay, metal, bone, stone and glass. Oil lamps, terracotta figurines, tools, beads, coins, inscriptions etc. are illustrated on 40 plates. Part II is devoted to the 15 dog burials found and the phenomenon of dog burials throughout the Levant.
