This book, edited by Nancy L. Lapp and with contributions by
Michael S. Zimmerman, Daniel Ulvoczky, Nicholas Hudson and Adam
Hartman, is the second volume of reports from Paul Lapp's
excavations at 'Iraq al-Amir in 1961 and 1962. The first appeared
as the Annual of the American Schools of Oriental Research Vol. 47,
in 1983. The presentation by Michael S. Zimmerman of the stratified
corpus of the Hellenistic and Roman pottery in the Village
excavations, from approximately 200 BCE to 200 CE, is a major
portion of the volume. Along with the smaller pottery collections
of the Iron Age, Early Bronze, and Byzantine periods, a major
contribution is made to the growing quantity of characteristic
pottery of Transjordan and its relation to the ceramic assemblages
of ancient Palestine to the west and Syria to the north. Although
early Iron Age pottery is present in the collection, the main Iron
Age occupation was later in the period, even into early Persian
times, and it is doubtful that there was an Iron I fortress there
as Paul Lapp suggested. The pottery studies are introduced by a
review of the history of the excavations at the site from the time
of the early explorers and, further, by an introduction describing
camp and excavation life in an area not yet touched by modern
conveniences in the middle of the twentieth century.
