A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Jordan is a key area of migration within the Levantine corridor that links the continents of Africa and Asia. 'Crossing Jordan' examines the peoples and cultures that have travelled across Jordan from antiquity to the present. The book offers a critical analysis of recent discoveries and archaeological models in Jordan and highlights the significant contribution of North American archaeologists to the field. Leading archaeologists explore the theory and methodology of archaeology in Jordan in essays which range across prehistory, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Hellenistic and Roman periods, Nabatean civilization, the Byzantine period, and Islamic civilization. The volume provides an up-to-date guide to the archaeological heritage of Jordan, being an important resource for scholars and students of Jordan's history, as well as citizens, non-governmental organizations and tourists.

Revue de presse :

'The volume contains a rich and interesting collection of various studies, covering many of the periods, cultures, and topics that are of interest to any archaeologist working in Jordan, the Levant, the Near East, and, to a large extent, any part of the world.' --Review of Biblical Literature

'The 54 contributions succeed admirably in demonstrating the fundamental contribution of North American researchers to all periods of Jordanian archaeological endeavor, stretching from deepest prehisotry to the recent past. It is an impressive record of sustained scholarly enterprise and also a tribute to the welcoming partnership of the Department of Antiquities of Jordan and local Jordanian universities, which promote research at every turn.' --American Journal of Archaeology
