The book series is dedicated to the results of fieldwork in the city of Doliche, located in modern Gaziantep, South-East Turkey. Founded in the Hellenistic period, Doliche became a regional urban centre in Roman times and continued to thrive in the Middle Ages. Today, Doliche offers the unique opportunity to study urbanism and urbanity in the region of ancient North Syria. In 2015, an international research project started to explore the site for the first time. The data retrieved in the project is presented and discussed in this series. Monographs and edited volumes deal with all aspects of the history and archaeology of Doliche. The scope of the series is interdisciplinary and includes a wide range of topics spanning from the study of single monuments and buildings, find assemblages, and scientific analyses to synoptic and comparative discussions of the larger historical and cultural framework. In doing so, the volumes of this series contribute significantly to the understanding of urban development, cultural milieu, and material culture of Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Early Islamic North Syria.
