Khirbat Faris: Rural Settlement, Continuity and Change in Southern
Jordan. The Nabatean to Modern Periods (1st century BC - 20th
century AD) is the first of three volumes which chart the temporal,
and spatial, occupational fluctuations at the site of Khirbat Faris
in Southern Jordan and the stories of the communities that lived
there. The detailed final excavation report follows the site and
its environs throughout their many phases of use and occupation,
from the 13th century BC to the present day. It provides a firm
foundation for the succeeding discussions on key questions
affecting our picture of the Nabatean, Late Antique and Islamic
Levant. This well-illustrated book is essential reading for
archaeologists, architectural historians, historical geographers,
ethnographers: for anyone trying to understand the impact of varied
environmental, social and economic forces upon settlement; for
anyone seeking to unravel ways in which the use of ethnographic and
historical data, together with archaeology and the types of
excavation and analysis employed, can best respond to questions
about rural settlement; for anyone eager to unpick the relationship
between 'The Desert' and 'The Sown', between nomad and farmer,
between tribe and state, between Christianity and Islam.
