10.0 RECENT FINDS
AT UGARIT
by Claude Schaeffer
Ever since 1929 the French Department
of Antiquities has been carrying on excavations
near the modern Syrian town
of Ras Shamra. Ugarit, as the town was
anciently called, is now known to have
been one of the most important centres
of Bronze Age . civilisation;' its palace
one of the biggest and most luxurious
in the ancient Near East. In this talk
Professor Claude Schaeffer, the eminent
French archaeologist, who has been in
charge of the excavation from the- beginning,
tells of the results of last .year's
work. The talk is a shortened version of
Professor Schaeffer's address delivered
yesterday before the Academie des
Inscriptions in Paris.
