This book presents an investigation into the towns of Palestine
under Muslim rule from AD 600 to 1600. The primary form of evidence
is archaeological reports though historical sources are also used.
Three questions are addressed: Did the towns of Palestine decline
under Muslim rule? Did the towns become Islamic? Does archaeology
provide useful answers? To answer these questions the archaeology
of twenty-six towns is investigated. The towns selected are in
regional groups (the Negev, Eastern Galilee and the Mediterranean
coast) to illustrate different aspects of urban development from
the Muslim conquest to the first century of Ottoman rule. The study
also includes a detailed investigation of Ramla which was founded
by the Umayyads within the first century of Muslim rule.
