This Handbook aims to serve as a research guide to the archaeology
of the Levant, an area situated at the crossroads of the ancient
world that linked the eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, Mesopotamia,
and Egypt. The Levant as used here is a historical geographical
term referring to a large area which today comprises the modern
states of Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, western Syria, and Cyprus, as
well as the West Bank, Gaza, and the Sinai. Unique in its treatment
of the entire region, it offers a comprehensive overview and
analysis of the current state of the archaeology of the Levant
within its larger cultural, historical, and socio-economic
contexts. The Handbook also attempts to bridge the modern scholarly
and political divide between archaeologists working in this highly
contested region. Written by leading international scholars in the
field, it focuses chronologically on the Neolithic through Persian
periods - a time span during which the Levant was often in close
contact with the imperial powers of Egypt, Anatolia, Assyria,
Babylon, and Persia. This volume will serve as an invaluable
reference work for those interested in a contextualised
archaeological account of this region, beginning with the tenth
millennium BCE 'agricultural revolution', until the conquest of
Alexander the Great that marked the end of the Persian period.
