The majority of his professional life has, however, been devoted to Palmyra, where he made many significant discoveries as the director of the PCMA UW expedition (since 1973). At the turn of the 1980s, he directed salvage excavations in Iraq, and for many years, he headed the archaeological-conservation expedition working in the mithraeum in Hawarte (Syria). His most recent archaeological project took him to Saudi Arabia, to the site of Aynuna on the Red Sea coast. Prof. Gawlikowski is also a prominent lecturer and has supervised several dozen MA theses and over a dozen PhD dissertations. He has also authored many publications, a choice of which can be found in “Scripta selecta”.
