An overview of the practice and several remarks on the evidence from the Sanctuary of Baalshamin = Le remploi de matériaux de construction et de sculptures à Palmyre dans l’Antiquité tardive et la période islamique ancienne (273-750 de n. è.). Aperçu des pratiques et remarques sur les indices découverts dans le sanctuaire de Baalshamin

This article aims to provide the first scholarly overview of the practice of reuse of building material in late antique and early Islamic Palmyra (273-750 ce) and to examine this phenomenon more systematically within the Sanctuary of Baalshamin. To achieve this, it makes use of previously unpublished archival data. The way in which this material was used at Palmyra varied depending on the function of the buildings. By examining evidence from the Sanctuary of Baalshamin in more detail, the article also advances several hypotheses on building practices and the organisation of the workforce.
