Cette monographie porte sur l'etude d'un etablissement portuaire (Bey-144), qui a fait l'objet d'une fouille de sauvetage a Beyrouth en 2003. Elle comprend un essai d'interpretation des vestiges architecturaux et stratigraphiques du site ainsi qu'une etude du materiel ceramique qui en provient, dans une fourchette chronologique qui s'etend de la fin de la periode perse/ debut de l'epoque hellenistique a l'arrivee des Romains dans la region. L'interet de ce travail reside dans son apport a l'histoire et a l'archeologie de Beyrouth et dans les perspectives de recherches qu'il permet de livrer aujourd'hui sur plusieurs aspects politiques, economiques et socio-culturels de la cite et sur sa place dans les reseaux levantins et mediterraneens.
This monograph investigates Bey-144, a site located in the harbour area of Beirut that underwent a rescue excavation in 2003. It includes a study of its architectural remains and its stratigraphy, as well as a comprehensive catalogue of the ceramic assemblage that came from the site, with a chronological range that extends from the end of the Persian/beginning of the Hellenistic period until the rise of the Roman era. The interest of this work resides in its contribution to the archaeology and the history of Beirut, and in the research perspectives it yields on several political, economic and socio-cultural aspects of the city and its place in the Levantine and Mediterranean networks.
