Introduction

Quantitatively, this is the second largest portion of the website, after the Record. It includes the full online version of the volumes that constitute the official series or reports and studies on the excavations.

The volumes are available in book form from Undena Publications. CDs are also available from the same publisher at nominal cost; they offer higher resolution versions of all graphic files. Other books are also available on AVASA website.

The major series is entitled UMS – Urkesh/Mozan Studies: it presents traditional reports on various aspects of the project, including both the ancient dimension (Urkesh) and modern persepctives (Mozan – e.g., geomorphology or ethnography).

[N.B.: The series Urkesh/Mozan Studies continues directly the earlier series which was simply entitled Mozan and which has been discontinued (hence there are no volumes 1 and 2 in the UMS series).]

For each monograph, the website page will provide the reader with a summary (reporting an abbreviated version of the table of contents) and hyperlinks leading directly to the PDF version of the publication. Under each singular page, abstracts about specific publications are sometimes offered.

UMS – Urkesh/Mozan Studies

This first section is dedicated to the major series related to Tell Mozan, entitled Urkesh/Mozan Studies; it continues directly the earlier series which was simply entitled Mozan and which has been discontinued (hence there are no volumes 1 and 2 in the UMS series).

The series Urkesh/Mozan Studies evolves directly from an earlier series entitled Mozan, of which it continues the numeration. The sequence of volumes is as follows.
