Summary

Recent archaeological research at Byblos has uncovered significant new insights into the site's ancient layers and urban development. The study, published in Comptes rendus des séances de l'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, reveals evidence of continuous habitation from the Neolithic period through the Bronze Age, with particular focus on the Middle Bronze Age (2000–1550 BCE). Excavations and stratigraphic analyses exposed well-preserved architectural remains, pottery, and artifacts that provide a clearer picture of Byblos' role as a major maritime and cultural hub during this era. The research employs advanced stratigraphic techniques, including detailed mapping and artifact analysis, to reconstruct the site's evolution over time.
