| Summary: | The archaeological results of 18 excavation campaigns at Tell Kazel have shed considerable light on relations between the ancient city of Sumur/Simyra and the eastern Mediterranean. The vast number of Cypriot imports from the late 14th until the beginning of the 12th century B.C. at Tell Kazel shows a significant quantitative contrast with other sites in the Homs gap. Both Cypriot and Mycenaean pottery tend to disappear before the major destruction of the site during the transitional LB II/Iron I phase. It was during this same phase that the imported pottery was replaced by locally made Mycenaean ceramics as well as by two new wares: Handmade Burnished Ware and Grey Ware. |
