From Edessa to Urfa: the Fortification of the Citadel is the
outcome of an archaeological research project focused on a specific
monumental area in the city of Urfa: its citadel. Urfa is better
known to the general reader by its ancient name, Edessa. Three
seasons of fieldwork were carried out (2014-2016), concentrating on
the study of the evidence preserved above ground and employing the
methods of stratigraphic analysis to identify the building sequence
of the citadel and to characterise the various building phases.
Transformation of the relative sequence into absolute chronology
depended primarily on inscriptions in situ, but also on typological
elements (masonry type, decorative elements, specific architectural
forms). Data from the written sources also contributed relevant
information regarding the development of the fortification works
and the establishment of an absolute sequence.
