This book offers an introduction to the archaeology of the Islamic
world. It traces the history of the discipline from its earliest
manifestations through to the present and evaluates the
contribution made by archaeology to the understanding of key
aspects of Islamic culture. The author argues that it is essential
for the results of archaeological research to be more fully
integrated into the wider historical study of the Islamic world.
Organising the book into broad themes allows a focus on issues that
are relevant across different regions and periods. Short case
studies are included to allow the reader to examine the ways in
which archaeologists collect and interpret material in specific
contexts. The emphasis is on archaeological work conducted in the
area stretching from Afghanistan and the Central Asian republics in
the east to Spain in the west. Comparisons are also be drawn with
Islamic regions of sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent,
reflecting the main focus of archaeological work in the Islamic
world to the present day.
