The public s continuing fascination with Near Eastern archaeology
has often been frustrated by highly technical and specialized
studies. This volume masterfully rectifies that situation. Here, in
concise and readable form, is a comprehensive introduction to
Palestinian archaeology (the region encompassed by the State of
Israel, the West Bank, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan) from
the Stone Age to the Islamic period. Readers are provided with
clear explanations of unfamiliar terms, geographical locations,
dates, archaeological procedures, links with biblical text, and the
like. Photo illustrations enhance the presentation throughout.
Selected bibliographies for each chapter direct readers to
appropriate resources for additional information. Through the Ages
of Palestinian Archaeology constitutes a handy reference both for
those already familiar with archaeology and for those who know
little of why archaeologists do what they do and what can be
learned from their work and their discoveries. Walter E. Rast is
Professor in the Department of Theology at Valparaiso University in
Indiana. He is second vice-president of the American Schools of
Oriental Research and former editor of the Bulletin of the American
Schools of Oriental Research. With R. Thomas Schaub, he is
author/editor of The Expedition to the Dead Sea Plain Series whose
first volume, Bab ed-Dhra, is now in print.
