One Hundred Years of American Archaeology in the Middle East

This volume represents some of the most respected archaeological research available on the historical periods in the ancient Near East. Not written simply for specialists, the essays provide a helpful synthesis of the past century's excavation results and their historical and anthropological implications for the informed public, as well as for lay persons and students of archaeology in academic institutions. The objective of both the original public presentations and their publication in this volume is to provide an integrative approach, tied to the major historical archaeological periods, while at the same time covering geographical areas and larger arenas of concern, including technology, religion, and economic and political realities. Contributors are concerned with a prospective view, seeking to address how archaeologists should proceed with their work at the beginning of the twenty-first century.Douglas Clark is the author of 'One Hundred Years of American Archaeology in the Middle East', published 2003 under ISBN 9780897570671 and ISBN 0897570677.
