Following 13 years of hiatus, the Syrian-Italian mission begins its first excavation season at Ebla archaeological site

The Syrian-Italian archaeological mission at the Ebla archaeological site, registered on the UNESCO Indicative List, began its first season of excavation work on August 29th, after a thirteen-year hiatus due to the terrorist war on Syria.

During a field visit Dr. Davide Nadali gave an overview to the Minister of Culture in the caretaker government, Dr. Lubana Mshaweh, to demonstrate the work plan which will be assisted by young researchers in order to be accomplished.

In turn, the Director of Excavation at the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums, Dr. Hummam Saad, reviewed the damage that affected the site, explaining that the mission will sort the rubble resulting from the excavations that destroyed part of the wall of the ancient city, with the aim of searching for any archaeological pieces to preserve and protect them.
