A street of late Roman-Byzantine shops and houses was excavated in the Souks site in 1995-96. The preserved foundation walls and doorsills of FOUR of these shops and their mosaic pavements were removed to the Normandy landfill after excavation, with the intention of re-integrating them into the future Souks site of Beirut as ‘re-created Byzantine shops.’ . What kind of shops have we proposed and what could they offer to the public? What purpose can they serve within the future Souks area now under construction? . What aspects of the Byzantine Souk presentation can you identify with best? Any suggestions are welcome. é a At ANTS, \ . aN WAS ROC ONS er VAN AN AN AW a) SAAN. y SASZScNe' oe Ss SO A xa VAT AY) TTS
