between 2011 and 2019 at Karkemish (modern Karkamış Höyük, Gaziantep). The Karkemish
archaeological project revolves around an international cooperation framework, one which
involves not only specialists from many fields, but also several Universities, Museums, public
Authorities and private Bodies uniting their efforts towards shared goals and priorities, including
the long-awaited opening of the site, laying within a military area, to public visit. This
multidisciplinary and multi-partner perspective responds to a contemporary view in which
integration (also intended as a continuous feedback between all involved participants) is the
method chosen for facing the complexities and the challenges posed by an anthropological
approach, both as far as the past and the present are concerned. What follows is a presentation of
our main results obtained at the field, while we had necessarily to leave out of the present work the
significant results which have been collected through a complete restudy program of the archives
and finds from the British Museum excavations (1878-1881, 1911-1920), for which we have
benefited from the cooperation with the Anatolian Civilizations Museum in Ankara, the
Archaeological Museums in Istanbul and the British Museum in London (and all the colleagues
therein), as well as with several other research centers)] Neue Abfrage | New Search
