Baalbek, Libanon. Feldforschungen und Konservierungsarbeiten. Die Arbeiten des Jahres 2020

Résumé

In Baalbek, the development of the city from a prehistoric tell to a Roman city and its constant metamorphosis into the early modern period has been the subject of research for many years. Adapting to travel and work oppor­tunities and taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic, fieldwork in Baalbek also took place in 2020, but in several working stages and for a shorter period than planned. Work continued in three areas: with photographic and photogrammetric documentation in the Roman sanctuary of Jupiter, with exca­vations in the medieval quarter in the so-called Bustan Nassif, and for the preparation of conservation measures in the ›Bustan el-Khan‹ with its public buildings from the Roman period.
