This book is the result of more than a dozen years of research in
the field of the hitherto unstudied medieval settlement pattern of
the Syrian coastal region in the 12th and 13th centuries. The
conclusions presented in this work were reached with the combined
use of several source types including medieval documents,
travellers' accounts, former research, map evidence, toponymy,
archive and satellite photographs, oral sources and extensive
archaeological field surveys accompanied by documentation between
the years 2000 and 2015. After enumerating the historical events
that influenced the settlement pattern of the coast, its centres,
including the towns and castles (with special regard to the smaller
fortifications of the countryside that seem to have been a Frankish
introduction to the area) are analysed. Following the detailed
examination of the written sources and the architectural material
preserved at these lesser sites, a closer look at the villages and
their environment aims to draw a general picture on the density of
settlements and their basic characteristics. The book also
discusses communication lines and provides an assessment of the
medieval population that inhabited the region in the 12th and 13th
centuries. The text is accompanied by a collection of maps, plan
drawings, tables and illustrations on a selected number of sites
visited during the field surveys.
