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.
