This book examines the archaeological implications of Islam as a
force which can act upon all areas of life. Islam leaves
distinctive material culture remains and distinctive categories of
evidence which can be detected and described.
The subject and the geographical area of Islam is vast. The
author provides an assessment of the means and the methods of
uncovering Islamic material records in the context of a wide range
of times and places. Separate chapters examine the mosque, the
domestic environment, the Islamic city, death and burial, art,
manufacturing and trade. The author draws evidence from the
perceived heartlands of the Islamic world (Arabia, the Near East),
and from those regions traditionally regarded as the periphery
(Africa and the Far East). Coverage extends from the origins of
Islam in the seventh century AD up until the present.
