Palmyra, renowned for its historical significance and cultural richness, fell victim to the ravages of conflict, leaving its architectural wonders in ruins and its community displaced. This article explores the transformative potential of community-led reconstruction in safeguarding Palmyra’s heritage. By intertwining tangible restoration with the revitalization of intangible traditions, this holistic approach seeks to empower the Palmyrene community, reignite cultural pride, and foster social cohesion. Drawing inspiration from successful models of community involvement in heritage restoration, such as Timbuktu in Mali and Al-Resafa in Syria, the article envisions a future where the Palmyrenes become active participants in the restoration of their city’s identity. Through capacity-building initiatives, awareness-raising programs, and inclusive decision-making processes, the Palmyrenes can reconstruct the intangible threads that connect them to their past. By placing the community at the forefront of preservation efforts, this article proposes a pathway toward healing, resilience, and the revival of Palmyra’s timeless legacy.

N. Silberman
What has been achieved—or can realistically be achieved—by calls for the decolonization of archaeology? In the Middle East and the eastern Mediterranean, as elsewhere, discourse about the past is often closely entangled with concerns of the present, and the idea of decolonizing archaeological practice in this war–torn region has particular relevance to its intractable ethic and political cultural conflicts. By more deeply examining the ideological roots and possible political outcomes of decolonized archaeology, this contribution attempts to contextualize the increasingly prominent intellectual trend of archaeological activism within the broader field of postcolonial theory and explores its relationship to other forms of authorized heritage discourse. This Forum showcases an essay by Neil Silberman that explores new frontiers in decolonizing archaeology and four book reviews of Yannis Hamiliakis and Raphael Greenberg’s timely book entitled: Archaeology, Nation, and Race: Confronting the Past, Decolonizing the Future in Greece and Israel.
考古学非殖民化的呼吁取得了什么成果，或者说现实中能够取得什么成果？在中东和东地中海地区，与其他地方一样，关于过去的讨论往往与对现在的关注密切相关，而在这个饱受战争蹂躏的地区，考古实践非殖民化的想法与该地区棘手的伦理和政治文化冲突尤其相关。通过对非殖民化考古学的思想根源和可能的政治结果进行更深入的研究，这篇论文试图在更广泛的后殖民理论领域内对日益突出的考古学行动主义思想潮流进行背景分析，并探讨其与其他形式的授权遗产话语之间的关系。本论坛展示了尼尔-西尔伯曼（Neil Silberman）探索非殖民化考古学新前沿的文章，以及扬尼斯-哈米利亚基斯（Yannis Hamiliakis）和拉斐尔-格林伯格（Raphael Greenberg）及时出版的题为《考古学、民族和种族：在希腊和以色列面对过去，非殖民化未来》（Archaeology, Nation, and Race: Confronting the Past, Decolonizing the Future in Greece and Israel）一书的四篇书评。

Before standardized context forms, before section drawing, and before photography, archaeology was recorded in field notebooks. Field diaries are perhaps the archetypal archaeological document both in the field and in the archive, and they persist in various contemporary forms as a key means of recording. Based on archaeological field diaries made in Syria during the French Mandate, in particular those of Clark Hopkins at Dura-Europos and Harald Ingholt at Palmyra, this article looks to the inclusions, elisions, and absences in archaeological field notebooks and asks whether it might be possible to reexamine the history of Mandate-era archaeology in Syria through them.

Archival material from archaeological fieldwork contained in private and public collections has long been the object of study within various archaeological contexts. Often, however, such material is used as a backdrop or as anecdotal information and not as a point of departure. In this special issue, contributions focus on a variety of ways in which archival material and other kinds of legacy data can usefully be integrated into or provide the ground for archaeological projects and archaeological research, including preparations of new projects or for gaining a deeper understanding of ongoing projects or past projects. Modern developments, conflicts, wars, and the recent pandemic, have all accentuated the need for the curation of archival material and legacy data to an even higher degree than hitherto suspected and revealed that such material often holds information just as crucial to the project as archaeological raw data directly from the ground.

Utilizing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography and photogrammetry, this project created a digital elevation model of the Agora and Acropolis of Athens in order to understand the evolution of the city’s built environment in the Hellenistic and early Roman period (ca. 300 BCE–50 CE). Populated with 3D block models, the digital elevation model enabled advanced viewshed analyses that clarify which monuments were visible to—and interacted with—one another. This article demonstrates the capabilities and analytical potential of such modeling by examining the monuments dedicated to and by the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon and how these constructions affected the experience of the city’s built environment.
