Jordan: Archaeological Reader

Adams, Russell

After a lengthy and difficult process of gestation (you may remember an earlier short-lived hardback predecessor) this expansive one volume synthesis is at last fully available. Fifteen leading scholars provide a comprehensive overview in chronological chapters of Jordan's archaeology from the palaeolithic down to the end of the Ottoman period. Introductory essays provide background to the history of archaeology in Jordan and to the changing landscape and environment of the area. The chapters are all fully updated from their earlier incarnations in the book's abortive 2001 predecessor. A comprehensive and authoritative summary and analysis of a vast amount of material, together with suggestitions for future areas of study. 581p b/w illus (Equinox Press 2008)
