Summary/Abstract: In 2007–2010 an extensive program of tomb excavations was undertaken by the Palmyra Museum. As a result many structures (tower tombs, house and temple tombs, as well as hypogea) located in the southwest, Northwest and Southeast Necropoleis were cleared, surveyed and duly restored. The paper reviews some of this work and the most important accompanying finds (paintings, sculpture, reliefs and sarcophagi).
