This volume presents the results of the Italian excavations and
surveys carried out in Transjordan between 1927 and 1938. After a
first excavation campaign conducted in 1927 on the Amman Citadel by
Giacomo Guidi, the excavations were resumed in 1929 by Renato
Bartoccini (Rome 1893-Rome 1963), who carried out four campaigns on
the Citadel in 1929, 1930, 1933 and 1938. He also travelled across
modern Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, taking photos and writing reports
on several archaeological sites. Bartoccini published a few notes
and reports, but almost all the original documentation of his work
was still unpublished at the time this study was conducted. The
main source of data is the Fondo Renato Bartoccini, i.e. the
private archive of Bartoccini, today held by the University of
Perugia, while other useful documents are kept in other archives in
Macerata and in Rome. Furthermore, some decorated Islamic pottery
from the excavations on the Citadel is held at the Museo
Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza. The retrieved photos,
excavation journals, letters, and administrative documents make it
possible to understand, after almost a century, how the Citadel of
Amman appeared at the time of its first excavation.
