Monasterios cristianos primitivos en el Alto Éufrates Sirio: el complejo rupestre de Magāra Sarasat

Byzantine or Paleochristian monasteries (4th-7th century) along the Upper Syrian Euphrates are studied here. The historical information relative to this area and the chronological period are revised in this work. We present some archaeological findings discovered in this region according to the surveys that the IPOA-Universidad de Murcia has been coordinating for many years in the area. These discoveries fill a gap in the investigation of this region, and they extend the geographical field of activity of the studies and works done by I. Peña, P. Castellana and R. Fernández in the North of Syria during the same period.
