by David Oates
On This Page
Description
Joan Oates - along with her late husband, David - first revived excavations at Tell Brak in northern Syria in the 1970s. Those excavations showed signs that civilizations existed in Syria 6,000 years ago, challenging long-held beliefs and changing the current theoretical framework about Earth's first societies.Tags
