Roman-Period and Byzantine Nazareth and its Hinterland presents a
new social and economic interpretation of Roman-period and
Byzantine Nazareth and its hinterland as a whole, showing the
transformation of a Roman-period Jewish village into a major
Byzantine Christian pilgrimage centre. Although Nazareth is one of
the most famous places in the world, this is the first book on
Roman-period and Byzantine Nazareth by a professional
archaeologist, the only book to consider the archaeology of
Nazareth in the context of its adjacent landscape, and the first to
use contemporary archaeological methods and theory to explore
Nazareth's archaeology. Taking as his starting point a systematic
survey of the valley between Nazareth and the Roman town of
Sepphoris, Dark offers an interpretation of communities elsewhere
in the Roman world as networks of interlocking cells, with
interactions along routeways being more important in cultural and
economic terms than the relationship between urban centres and
their surrounding countryside. His conclusions have implications
for the wider archaeology of the Roman and Byzantine worlds, as
well as for archaeological theory, and demonstrate the importance
of Nazareth to world archaeology. This unique book will be
invaluable to those interested in Nazareth and its surrounding
landscape, as well as to archaeologists and scholars of the Roman
and Byzantine worlds.
