In the Middle Euphrates Valley, excavations are currently carried out at Tell Hariri (ancient Mari) and several sites near Tell Ashara. Our research area is Terqa and its surroundings. Terqa lies on the right bank of the Euphrates, about 60 km to the north-west from the ancient city of Mari. In 1996, excavation work was extended beyond ancient Terqa onto the area 6 km away to the north, to Tell Masaikh. Initially, it was rescue excavation, but with time it became regular archeological work. The paper is a summary of anthropological research conducted in 2008.We have been excavated 82 human skeletons (58 individuals from Tell Masikh, and 24 from Tell Ashara).

The middle Euphrates valley (Syria) is a very interesting and important region for the history of Mesopotamia. The excavations are currently carried out at Tell Ashara and Tell Masaikh. The first site is primarily the remains of a Bronze Age (ca. 2700–1500 BC). At Tell Masaikh were discovered the remains of settlement from the Chalcolithic (c. 4500 BC), and the middle Bronze Age, as well as a huge governor’s palace from the times of the Assyrian empire’s days of glory (c. 800–650 BC). The paper is a summary of anthropological research conducted in 2009.We have been excavated 80 human skeletons (50 individuals from Tell Masikh, and 30 from Tell Ashara).

One of the most important features discovered at the site 2 in Modlniczka is a deposit of burnt human remains with elements of grave goods, having been placed into a boggy basin adjoining to the fossil river bed. The deposit contained a part of burnt human bones and tiny elements of grave offerings that were left on the spot of cremation and were not put into the graves. It was laid in a single event. Bones with grave goods had been accumulated within some sort of 'houses of the dead' and afterwards, at the moment of abandonment of the settlement by its inhabitants, they were sunk in nearby swamp. The deposit from Modlniczka is distinctive in terms of wide chronological frames of artefacts gathered within it. The oldest of them are dated to phase A2 of the younger Pre-Roman period (Tyniec group), whereas, the youngest ones are ascribed to phase C2 of the Roman period or slightly later (Przeworsk culture). Co-existence in the deposit may be considered as a confirmation of cultural continuation between above-mentioned taxonomic units.

In 2015, the grandchildren of Endre Orosz, a self-thought archaeologist and collector who operated mainly in Cluj County, donated his archaeological collection to the Mureş County Museum. Cremated human remains of one of the Late Iron Age graves in Apahida, Transylvania were also found among the findings. From the nearly one hundred Late Iron Age graves, this is the only known finding suitable for anthropological analyses.
