Research Abstract

This research is one of the Planned Researches in a Scientific Research on Priority Areas entitled "Formation of Semitic Tribal Communities : Integrated Research in the Bishri Mountains, Middle Euphrates, Syria". To play a part in this integrated research, following studies on human remains have been conducted: the global surveys on the human remains of the West Asia origin, the development of the system for the analysis of the skull morphology with CT scanner, field works in Bishri Mountains, and the chronological analyses of human remains from Bishri Area and surrounding regions.
