News of the imminent flooding in spring 2000 of the ancient city of Belkis/Zeugma in the waters of the Birecik Dam on the Euphrates River captured media attention around the world, prompting a major local and international last-minute effort to record and excavate the site. Within the scope of this endeavor, Belkis/Zeugma . Halfeti . Rumkale: A Last Look at History was published. Copiously illustrated with a diverse selection of photographs, the book visually documents the most important archaeological discoveries in the area-including the famed Zeugma mosaics, regarded as unparalleled masterpieces of Roman art-and provides a last glimpse of the many archaeological sites and towns and villages on the banks of the Euphrates prior to their submersion in the Birecik Dam reservoir. Besides serving as a vitally important cultural record, the work also testifies to the environmental, economic, and social impact of flooding so much land in the Euphrates Valley. |
