Based on extensive architectural and archaeological research, these
papers present a series of studies on the art, buildings,
settlement patterns, and land use in Iraq, Yemen and Oman, from the
pre-Islamic period to modern times. Many of the monuments and sites
were studied here for the first time, and have subsequently
disappeared or become inaccessible. Among the main themes emerging
from Professor Costa's work are the continuity of Arab
craftsmanship, in both technical and aesthetic terms, from Late
Antiquity into the Islamic period; the relationship between the
natural and the built environment; and the dependence of
architecture and settlement patterns on the exploitation of natural
resources, especially water.
