Beydar Studies 1 constitutes the first volume of a new
sub-series dedicated to the excavations at Tell Beydar (NE Syria),
and its neighbourhood. It includes archaeological, environmental,
and landscape archaeology papers. The contributions included in
this first volume present progress reports on categories of objects
discovered at Tell Beydar, 3rd Millennium BCE (sealings, beads and
jewellery, basalt artefacts, metal finds, moulds and metallurgical
workshops). Two studies concern the settlement pattern in the
Syrian Jezirah and the Neolithic occupation of the region.
