This concise and illustrated book highlights the contributions of
North American archaeologists to the archaeology of Jordan - a
critical transition zone along the Levantine corridor that links
the continents of Africa and Asia. For over 150 years, North
American researchers have played a pivotal role in the exploration
of Jordan, the development of archaeological methods there and the
construction of theoretical approaches to study the deep-time
archaeological record of this key part of Middle East. The volume
focuses on the many peoples and cultures that have crossed Jordan
from the earliest prehistoric times to the present. In this sense,
this book contributes directly to the conservation of Jordan's
heritage. The chapters are written primarily by the North American
archaeological expedition directors giving this book an
authoritative and 'cutting edge' view of the most recent
discoveries and interpretive models of archaeology in Jordan
today.By looking at the archaeology of the southern Levant through
the lens of North American archaeological research in Jordan, the
entire history of this crucial part of the Middle East's Fertile
Crescent is highlighted - from Prehistory to Ottoman times. As a
richly illustrated book with the best photographs produced by over
50 archaeological expeditions, Crossing Jordan is the most
up-to-date guide to the archaeological heritage of Jordan and an
important resource for scholars, students, citizens, NGOs, embassy
personnel, and tourists.
