The third edition of Crusader Archaeology updates previous editions
to include coverage of important recent work in the field. It
examines what life was like for European settlers and travellers to
the crusader states during the centuries of Latin rule. Examining
past, recent and ongoing archaeological discoveries, and research
in the field from Israel, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, and Cyprus the
volume includes recent findings and approaches including new
exploration work in urban sites such as Jerusalem, Acre and
Caesarea, new work on industrial sites and new discoveries in
research including DNA studies, the field of weaponry and many
other topics. It covers such topics as settlement types,
fortification, daily life, day-to-day activities, warfare,
religious life, arts, industry, leisure pursuits, building
technology, agriculture, medicine, death and burial. It considers,
in all these fields, the manner in which the Frankish population
was influenced by the local and neighbouring populations, and how,
in many of their endeavours, the Franks evolved and developed their
own, unique and often remarkably advanced material culture.
Together with the archaeological evidence, Crusader Archaeology
provides a historical background to the various topics in order to
provide context to each of the discussions. Crusader Archaeology
remains the only comprehensive study of the architecture and
material finds of the Crusader period. This well-illustrated volume
serves as a basic textbook for students and scholars with an
interest in the Middle Ages and in particular the Crusades and the
Latin East.
