Book excerpt: La construction du barrage de Techrine dans la haute vallee de l'Euphrate, au nord de la Syrie, a donne lieu a des fouilles de sauvetage archeologique. C'est dans le cadre de cette operation que Tell al-'Abr a ete fouille pendant cinq campagnes, entre 1989 et 1993, par une mission syrienne dirigee par Hamido Hammade. Le present volume est le rapport de fouille definitif. Il contient la publication de toutes les decouvertes, accompagnees de chapitres d'analyses de laboratoire. La richesse des resultats obtenus permet desormais de considerer Tell al-'Abr comme un site de reference important pour la periode d'Obeid en Syrie. Tell al-'Abr was excavated in the frame of the salvage excavations carried out during the building of the Teshreen dam on the upper Euphrates valley in the north of Syria. A Syrian team, directed by Hamido Hammade, excavated the site during five seasons between 1989 and 1993. The volume is the final excavation report. It contains the publication of all archaeological discoveries and chapters concerning the laboratory analysis. Because of the richness of the results, Tell al-'Abr could be considered now as an important reference site for the Ubaid period in Syria.
