   This page is edited by G. Buccellati, director of the archaeological mission at Tell Mozan (Syria), the ancient Urkeš, an important center for the Hurrian culture. The site offers exhaustive information about the history of the city and its role in the Hurrian civilization of the Syro-Mesopotamian area. Besides this, there are reports about the excavations and the restoration techniques of the findings.
   
2. Institut für Altorientalistik - Freie Universität - Berlin
   The institute is developing a research project, "The Hurrian Texts from Emar – An Example of Knowledge Transfer in a Multilingual Environment", dedicated to texts in Hurrian language and cuneiform writing found in the Syrian city of Emar (today Tell Meskene). These texts related to hepatoscopy will be studied from a comparative perspective by associating them with similar texts found in the Hittite capital Hattuša.
