Description: A Unique Monumental Building dating to the early part of the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 1900-1700BCE) was uncovered at the southern Lebanese coast by the joint Lebanese-German excavation project at Tell el-Burak.  The impressive architecture of the building was exposed in eight excavation sites during the years 2001-2011.  Inside the largest room of the Monumental Building (room 10) the excavations broat to light the discovery of the Middle Bronze Age mural paintings in situ on lime plaster covering the inner faces of the mud-brick walls.  This volume consists of all excavation results concerning the Middle Bronze Age at Tell el-Burak (area 1 and area 2).  It furthermore includes an introduction to the joint Lebanese-German excavation project, chapters relating to the site, and the final publication of the excavated remains of the Mamluk-Ottoman periods in area 1.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 413-440).
