A corpus of 270 cemeterues containing around 25,000 burials have
been recorded in the Levant and western Arabia dating to the 4th
and 3rd millennium BC. This volume presents a discussive inventory
of some of these sites, arranged according to construction type.
These grave monuments with their stone-built superstructures are
compared in terms of the construction techniques employed, the
grave furniture or internal layout, finds, the form of the
monument, their distribution and situation. Speculation on what
type of society, whether nomadic or semi-nomadic pastoralists, made
such monuments is presented at the end. French text.
