基本説明
Die reich bebilderte Publikation stellt erstmals den restaurierten Sammlungsbestand detailliert von und beschreibt die Arbeit an einem der faszinierendsten Restaurierungsprojekte der Berliner Museen.
Description
When the Tell Halaf-Museum was destroyed in an air raid on Berlin in November 1943, one of the most important collections of antiquities from the Near East was thought to have been lost forever. Although over 20,000 basalt fragments were recovered from the ruins in 1944, and stored in the Pergamon Museum, it was not until the early 1990s that it was felt that the sculptural objects, which are over 3,000 years old, could possibly be restored. In a relatively short period of only eight years a group of archaeologists and restoration experts has succeeded in reconstructing over 90%of the objects.
This generously illustrated work presents for the first time the sculptures, orthostats, stone tools and vessels, so complementing and extending the study of A. Moortgat on the sculpture from Tell Halaf published in 1955.
The book describes the fascinating work of identification and restoration and includes previously unpublished documents, as well as a scientific contribution on the origin of the basalt and a reconstruction of the catastrophic fire, and so is of great interest outside the field of Near Eastern Studies.

"In seinem umfassenden Herangehen ist'Tell Halaf V' wie eine Werbung für den Archäologenberuf. So mancher wird nach der Lektüre die Lust verspüren, sofort in ferne Länder aufzubrechen und sich der Erforschung unbekannter Welten und Altertümer hinzugeben. Was will man mehr?"
