Summary/Abstract: The sanctuary of Athena-Allat in the western quarter of the ancient city (later Diocletian's Camp) was excavated by the Polish mission between 1974 and 1980. While the preliminary results have been consigned to several papers, the final report has yet to be offered. Work on the publication turned up some uncertain points concerning the architectural layout of the sanctuary and it is with the purpose of checking these that two seasons of excavations were carried out in 2005 and 2006 inside the Camp of Diocletian. Meanwhile, the team’s restorers added early statues to the exhibition in the Palmyra Museum.
