Originally focused on the Orontes Watershed of southern Turkey and northwestern Syria, the goal of the project is to provide researchers with a collaborative framework in which to leverage the full array of data produced by archaeology in order to shed light on the rise and development of complex societies in the region. The pooled resources and skills of collaborators have allowed the project to visualize and model connections between social, economic, and environmental factors across a range of temporal and regional scales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/King-Suppi-1-1024x515.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/King-Suppi-1-1024x515.png 1024w, https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/King-Suppi-1-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/King-Suppi-1-768x386.png 768w, https:\/\/insidecrane.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/King-Suppi-1.png 1240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> King Suppiluliuma II stands in front of one of the gates leading to the Neo-Hittite city of Kunulua (modern Tell Tayinat) (Image by Dominique Langis-Barsetti).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dominique Langis-Barsetti Reposted from Near Eastern Archaeology, Vol. 84, No. 1, March 2021 Abstract The Computational Research on the Ancient Near East (CRANE) Project, directed by Tim Harrison of the University of Toronto, has united scholars from a variety of disciplines across several institutions around the globe since 2012.
