Al-Andalus, the Iberian Islamic civilization centred on Cordoba in
the tenth and eleventh centuries, has been a 'lost' civilization in
several respects. Its history suppressed or denied for much of the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it was regarded as a kind of
'historical parenthesis' with no lasting influence. Over the past
twenty-five years, however, the history and archaeology of the
Islamic period in the Iberian peninsula has undergone a complete
transformation. Lost Civilization presents an introduction to this
debate as it has played out in archaeology, taking a comparative
civilizations approach that puts the formation of al-Andalus in
context with corresponding developments elsewhere in Europe, North
Africa and the Middle East.
