It was just good enough for Jupiter and his gigantic temple. For columns that were 18 metres high the architects needed no more than three drums each; they measured 2.2 metres in diameter. The tem- ple podium is constructed of colossal lime- stone blocks that fit precisely together. The upper layer of the podium, today called the "trilithon", was never completed.

The period under examination is the late medieval period, from the 11th to the 14th centuries, encompassing the time when the region was under the control of various Islamic dynasties and the Crusaders. The archaeology of Le banon has been somewhat neglected over the years, despite its importance for our understanding of the region in the medieval period, mainly because of the civil war (1975-1990), which made excavations and surveys in the country impossible and led to the widespread looting of sites (Hakiman 1987; Seeden 1987; Seeden 1989; Fisk 1991 ; Hakiman 1991; Ward 1995; Hackmann 1998; Sader 2001.

  • The Archaeology of Conflict-Damaged Sites: Hosn Niha in the Biqaʾ
    The archaeology of conflict-damaged sites: Hosn Niha in the Biqaʾ Valley, Lebanon Paul Newson1 &RuthYoung2 Archaeological and cultural heritage is always at risk of damage and destruction in areas of conflict. Despite legislation to protect sites and minimise the impact of war or civil unrest, much archaeological data is still being lost, not least in the Middle East. Careful Hosn Niha research design and methodological recording Beirut strategies tailored to sites destroyed by conflict or looting can, however, provide much more Method information than previously imagined. This is illustrated by a case study focusing on the Roman settlement and temples at Hosn N Niha in the Biqaʾ Valley, which were 0 km 50 severely damaged in the 1980s during the Lebanese Civil War. Sufficient information was recovered to reconstruct many details, including the chronology and development of the site. Keywords: Lebanon, Roman settlement, conflict archaeology, looting, Cultural Resource Management, GIS Introduction When faced with the destruction of archaeological sites through conflict and the accompanying loss of knowledge, what can archaeologists do? In this paper, we use the example of a site in Lebanon, which has been severely damaged by multiple conflict episodes, to show that a great deal can be learned from an apparently destroyed site by careful fieldwork and analysis. Conflict is arguably an integral part of human interaction, and archaeological studies have provided evidence for conflict from as early as the Palaeolithic (Thorpe 2003). Conflicts have occurred throughout prehistory and history, and they are an inescapable evil in many parts of the world today (Boylan 2002). The human cost in any conflict is high and, obviously, protecting people has to be the first priority during such periods.
