Cet instrument entend favoriser la création de partenariats transfrontaliers, faciliter le dialogue et la connaissance réciproque tout en soutenant un processus de génération des projets basé sur le principe d’appropriation commune. Il permet également à l’Autorité de Gestion et au Comité de Suivi Conjoint d’appréhender les orientations thématiques des régions éligibles. La première partie de ce recueil contient les idées de projet envoyées à l’Autorité de Gestion Commune à l’occasion des inscriptions à la Conférence de Lancement. La seconde partie comprend les fiches projet déjà publiées sur le site du Programme (www.enpicbcmed.eu). Les idées de projet sont classifiées par Priorité et Mesure. Le nombre élevé de propositions reçues témoigne de l’intérêt des territoires pour le Programme. L’Autorité de Gestion Commune espère que les efforts de tous les participants pourront contribuer au développement de projets en mesure de produire des effets durables dans les territoires situés le long des côtes de la Méditerranée. Avertissement : les idées de projet n’ont pas été évaluées par les structures de gestion du Programme.

Foreword Through this publication, the Joint Managing Authority of the ENPI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme would like to provide a practical support to potential beneficiaries and partners for the identification of proposals that will be submitted under the first call for standard projects. This tool aims at encouraging the creation of cross-border partnerships, facilitating reciprocal dialogue and knowledge as well as sustaining projects generation based on the co-ownership principle. It also allows the Managing Authority and Joint Monitoring Committee to understand the thematic orientations of the eligible regions. The first part of this volume contains the project ideas sent to the Joint Managing Authority together with the registration forms to the Launching Conference. The second part includes the project sheets already published on the Programme website (www.enpicbcmed.eu). Project ideas are classified by Priority and Measure. The high number of received proposals shows the interest of the territories for the Programme. The Joint Managing Authority hopes that the efforts of all the participants will contribute to the development of projects able to produce sustainable effects on the territories located along both shores of the Mediterranean. Disclaimer : project ideas have not been assessed by the Programme managing structures. The Joint Managing Authority is not responsible for their content and does not guarantee for their eligibility. Project ideas sent within 3rd July 2009 have only been included. 2 Table of contents/Table des matières SECTION 1 - PROJECT IDEAS FROM PARTICIPANTS TO THE LAUNCHING CONFERENCE /S ESSION 1 - IDEES DE PROJET DES PARTICIPANTS A LA CONFERENCE DE LANCEMENT ........5 PRIORITY 1 -

The site is a property included on the World Heritage Tentative List of Syria, submitted in 1999. Occupied from at least the eighth millennium BC onwards, the site was a par- UGARIT ticularly important Bronze Age (third millennium BC) city, although it remained prosperous until the thirteenth century BC. Unlike other contemporary sites, many of its features were constructed in stone rather than mud-brick, and so the foundation courses and many walls have survived well. The site was an important, early, port town and economic centre, and was connected to the harbour, Minet el-Beidha (also covered in this AOI), but it is also notable as the location of the discovery of records of one of the earliest recorded alphabets, leading to its decipherment, as well as the location of the discovery of the earliest surviving, substantial, musical notation and words in the world—the hymn to Nikkal. “The wealth of the kingdom came from agriculture (vineyards, olive trees, cereals, livestock, forestry), crafts that in some areas seem to have reached an unprecedented mastery (metal work, for example, figurines, tools...), workshops (of faience and ivory) and especially commercial activity: Mediterranean traffic was very active with the Aegean and Crete, Cyprus, and all coastal areas of the Levant: Arwad, Byblos, Sidon, Tyre … and with Egypt. Landward, Ugrarit appears as the intermediary between the Mediterranean, Central Syria and Mesopotamia”.(i) Status Overview In addition to a general examination of the site, a sample of key excavated buildings were analysed.

  • An Updated Chronology of the Reigns of Phoenician Kings During the Persian Period (539-333 BCE)
    An Updated Chronology of the Reigns of Phoenician Kings during the Persian Period (539-333 BCE) J. ELAYI* Résumé: L’objectif de cet article est de proposer une chronologie des règnes des rois phéniciens à l’époque perse (539-333 av. notre ère), à partir de toutes les données disponibles dans l’état actuel de la documentation. Cette chronologie à jour et prudente pourra être utilisée comme base fiable par tous les spécialistes du Proche-Orient à l’époque perse. The chronology of the reigns of Phoenician kings during the Persian Period (539-333 BCE)1 is very difficult to establish for several reasons. First, the Persian period remained virtually unexplored until the last 20 years2; moreover, Phoenician studies were for a long time dependent on biblical chronology3. On the other hand, the deficiency of the sources has to be underlined. Monumental inscriptions mentioning kings and dated by the years of reign are rare in Phoenician cities, partly because many of them have disappeared in lime kilns, and perishable official *. CNRS, Paris. 1. 539 is the traditional date for the Persian conquest of Phoenician cities: see J. Elayi, Sidon cité autonome de l’Empire perse, Paris 1990², pp. 137-8. 333 is the date of the conquest of Phoenician cities by Alexander (332 for Tyre). 2. See J. Elayi and J.

There is no question that Athens developed, named and re- fined democracy in the late 6 th and early 5 th centuries BC but a number of scholars have pointed to evidence that suggests the ideas and institutions that constitute democracy had previously been tested in other Greek city states and even further afield, in the Middle East. This paper explores the political environment in the eastern Mediterranean in the 6 th century and earlier to establish whether any Phoenician cities had their own form of democratic government and whether Phoenician trade into the Greek sphere might have contributed to democratic experiments in other polities before Athens. Keywords: Athens, democracy, Phoenicia, Greek, city, state 1. Introduction Most accounts of the origins of democracy suggest that the idea and its institutions sprung into life, fully-formed, in Athens in the late sixth century BC.

  • The Historical Earthquakes of Syria: an Analysis of Large and Moderate Earthquakes from 1365 B.C
    ANNALS OF GEOPHYSICS, VOL. 48, N. 3, June 2005 The historical earthquakes of Syria: an analysis of large and moderate earthquakes from 1365 B.C. to 1900 A.D. Mohamed Reda Sbeinati (1), Ryad Darawcheh (1) and Mikhail Mouty (2) (1) Department of Geology, Atomic Energy Commission of Syria, Damascus, Syria (2) Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria Abstract The historical sources of large and moderate earthquakes, earthquake catalogues and monographs exist in many depositories in Syria and European centers. They have been studied, and the detailed review and analysis re- sulted in a catalogue with 181 historical earthquakes from 1365 B.C. to 1900 A.D. Numerous original documents in Arabic, Latin, Byzantine and Assyrian allowed us to identify seismic events not mentioned in previous works. In particular, detailed descriptions of damage in Arabic sources provided quantitative information necessary to re-evaluate past seismic events. These large earthquakes (I0>VIII) caused considerable damage in cities, towns and villages located along the northern section of the Dead Sea fault system. Fewer large events also occurred along the Palmyra, Ar-Rassafeh and the Euphrates faults in Eastern Syria. Descriptions in original sources doc- ument foreshocks, aftershocks, fault ruptures, liquefaction, landslides, tsunamis, fires and other damages. We present here an updated historical catalogue of 181 historical earthquakes distributed in 4 categories regarding the originality and other considerations, we also present a table of the parametric catalogue of 36 historical earth- quakes (table I) and a table of the complete list of all historical earthquakes (181 events) with the affected lo- cality names and parameters of information quality and completeness (table II) using methods already applied in other regions (Italy, England, Iran, Russia) with a completeness test using EMS-92.

  • KARUS on the FRONTIERS of the NEO-ASSYRIAN EMPIRE I Shigeo
    KARUS ON THE FRONTIERS OF THE NEO-ASSYRIAN EMPIRE I Shigeo YAMADA * The paper discusses the evidence for the harbors, trading posts, and/or administrative centers called karu in Neo-Assyrian documentary sources, especially those constructed on the frontiers of the Assyrian empire during the ninth to seventh centuries Be. New Assyrian cities on the frontiers were often given names that stress the glory and strength of Assyrian kings and gods. Kar-X, i.e., "Quay of X" (X = a royal/divine name), is one of the main types. Names of this sort, given to cities of administrative significance, were probably chosen to show that the Assyrians were ready to enhance the local economy. An exhaustive examination of the evidence relating to cities named Kar-X and those called karu or bit-kar; on the western frontiers illustrates the advance of Assyrian colonization and trade control, which eventually spread over the entire region of the eastern Mediterranean. The Assyrian kiirus on the frontiers served to secure local trading activities according to agreements between the Assyrian king and local rulers and traders, while representing first and foremost the interest of the former party. The official in charge of the kiiru(s), the rab-kari, appears to have worked as a royal deputy, directly responsible for the revenue of the royal house from two main sources: (1) taxes imposed on merchandise and merchants passing through the trade center(s) under his control, and (2) tribute exacted from countries of vassal status. He thus played a significant role in Assyrian exploitation of economic resources from areas beyond the jurisdiction of the Assyrian provincial government.
