This is the last volume in a series of reports from the Danish
excavations on the ancient Tall of the Syrian site and town of
Hama.;It presents the medieval architecture of the mound from the
Arab conquest in 636 to 1401 when the citadel of Hama was destroyed
by Timur Lenk. The excavations revealed that the early Islamic town
was not as insignificant as previously believed. The periods of
Hama's greatest strength were, however, the 12th and 13th centuries
when many different structures were built on the mound such as a
bath, mills and other industrial structures (among these a workshop
for the production of grenades). Its fortifications mainly dated
from the 12th century, although an older - Byzantine wall was also
found. On the whole the citadel of Hama must have resembled that of
its neighbour to the north, Allepo. The medieval ceramics and other
minor finds have been published in previous volumes.
