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 Strip, and the Sinai Peninsula. 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 'agricultural revolution' until the conquest of Alexander
the Great that marked the end of the Persian period.
