	Qatna
		During the 2nd Millennium BC Qatna was situated near the end of the road connecting the middle Euphrates valley, for example Mari by way of Tadmor/Palmyra to the Mediterranean.
		Qatna, together with other sites in the area (Tell Atchana and Emar), is subject to the investigation of palaeoenvironmental conditions and ancient economy with archaeobotanical methods.
		The archaeobotanical investigations at Qatna by a Spanish-Italian-German group (L. Chocarro-Pena and M. Rottoli and on the remains from the domestic areas, and S. Riehl on the plant remains from the palace) represent an extraordinary chance to approach unsolved questions concerning the Late Bronze and Iron Age economic and environmental history of southern Syria.

	Tell Mishrife (Ancient Qatna)
		It is located on the border between the fertile plain of the Orontes and the expanse of the Syrian steppe stretching eastwards towards Tadmor and to the banks of the Euphrates and cities such as Mari (Tell Hariri).
		The architecture is substantial and extensive, suggesting that as with previous periods, Qatna was an extremely significant urban centre in the Iron Age.
		Culturally, the architecture and artefacts of Qatna place it firmly within the central Syrian Amorite sphere of influence, but links with Mesopotamia, particularly in the Middle Bronze Age, can be seen in both the scale of the architecture and the some of the finds.

	The Empires Strike Back
		In Qatna's last decade as a major political player, it found itself increasingly at the geo-political heart of a vicious military struggle between three empires: the Hittites based in what is now Turkey; the Mitanni in what is now northeast Syria; and the ancient Egyptians.
		It consists of three chambers where members of Qatna's royal family were laid to rest in stone sarcophagi for a few years or even decades, prior to their bones being removed for eternity to a fourth chamber, the royal ossuary (bone depository).
		Some of the bones from the last few royals of Qatna were found still lying in their sarcophagi along with spectacular grave goods: ivory royal insignia, stone vases, one gold and one silver bowl and hundreds of gold rosettes (probably from rich garments).

	Messages from the Dead
		Among the ruins of Qatna's royal palace, archaeologists found a collection of tablets that documents military correspondence between the king of Qatna and other local rulers.
		Inscribed on the small, pillow-shaped tablet is a 3,000-year-old warning to Idanda, king of Qatna, from the Hittite general Hanutti, telling him to prepare for war.
		In the dawn light, Qatna today is a study in stillness, forgotten by all but the archaeologists.

	Qatna - The Lower City Palace
		The urban landscape of the Qatna acropolis during the Late Bronze Age (1600-1200 BC) was distinguished by a structured hub consisting of public buildings distributed over a vast area; these included the Royal Palace, the ‘Small Palace’ of Operation C, and a productive area on the summit of the acropolis.
		All these public buildings seem to have been abandoned during the second half of the fourteenth century BC and were not replaced by other official buildings in the same areas.
		The ‘Lower City Palace’ may have been the seat of a member of the royal family or of a high official of the kingdom, who, from this residence, controlled the administration of matters pertaining to Qatna’s ramparts as well as the transit of people and goods through the northern City Gate.

	Qatna - The Ancient Environment
		Mishrifeh, ancient Qatna, was founded at the eastern edge of the green Orontes Valley, in a region which gradually turns into the semi-arid steppe of the Shamiyah.
		Due to its location, the site acted as a natural interface linking different environments characterised by distinctive land use systems and settlement patterns: irrigation agriculture and permanent settlement in the river valley and dry-farming interlinked with semi-nomadism and pastoral economy in the semi-arid region to the east of Mishrifeh.
		These are regularly distributed along the two wadis to the east (Wadi Mydan) and to the west (Wadi Slik) of the site of Qatna, but not along the central wadi (Wadi Zorat) where the city lay, with the exception of a cluster of four sites upstream of Qatna.

		However, it was completely buried again subsequently, to the extent that even its exact location was no longer known.
		Its latest discoverers happened upon the remains of the palace roughly 200 kilometers to the North of Damascus in a hill of ruins known as Tell Mishrifeh, where an excavation is underway in search of the ruined ancient Syrian city of Qatna.
		Qatna reached its peak as a hub of ancient Syrian activity between 1900 and 1600 BC.

		Daraus ist zu schließen, dass der Korridor keine Verbindung zwischen dem Palast und der Unterstadt von Qatna gebildet haben konnte.
		Stattdessen knickt der Korridor an seinem Ende ab und mündet in eine tiefe Kammer, die auf einer Seite in den Fels gehauen war und auf der anderen Seite mit einer schweren Steinmauer eingefaßt worden ist.
		Es handelt sich in einigen Fällen offensichtlich um ägyptische Gefäße, die Geschenke von ägyptischen Pharaonen an die Könige von Qatna gewesen sein könnten.
