The third edition of Crusader Archaeology updates previous editions
to include coverage of important recent work in the field. It
examines what life was like for European settlers and travellers to
the crusader states during the centuries of Latin rule. Examining
past, recent and ongoing archaeological discoveries, and research
in the field from Israel, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, and Cyprus the
volume includes recent findings and approaches including new
exploration work in urban sites such as Jerusalem, Acre and
Caesarea, new work on industrial sites and new discoveries in
research including DNA studies, the field of weaponry and many
other topics. It covers such topics as settlement types,
fortification, daily life, day-to-day activities, warfare,
religious life, arts, industry, leisure pursuits, building
technology, agriculture, medicine, death and burial. It considers,
in all these fields, the manner in which the Frankish population
was influenced by the local and neighbouring populations, and how,
in many of their endeavours, the Franks evolved and developed their
own, unique and often remarkably advanced material culture.
Together with the archaeological evidence, Crusader Archaeology
provides a historical background to the various topics in order to
provide context to each of the discussions. Crusader Archaeology
remains the only comprehensive study of the architecture and
material finds of the Crusader period. This well-illustrated volume
serves as a basic textbook for students and scholars with an
interest in the Middle Ages and in particular the Crusades and the
Latin East.
Crusader Archaeology examines what life was like for European
settlers in the Latin East and how they were influenced by their
new-found neighbours. Incorporating recent excavation results and
the latest research, this new edition updates the only detailed
study of the material culture of the Frankish settlers in Israel,
Cyprus, Syria and Jordan. Adrian Boas provides comprehensive
coverage of the key topics connected to crusader archaeology,
including an examination of urban and rural settlements,
agriculture, industry, the military, the church, public and private
architecture, arts and crafts, leisure pursuits, death and burial
and building techniques. There are also entirely new chapters on
domestic architecture and disease, injury and medical treatment.
Drawing on the extensive experience of an established writer in the
field, Crusader Archaeology effectively combines a broad body of
material to introduce readers to the archaeological research of the
region. This well-illustrated volume is a crucial survey for all
those interested in the Middle Ages, and in particular the
Crusades.
Adrian Boas's combined use of historical and archaeological
evidence together with first-hand accounts written by visiting
pilgrims results in a multi-faceted perspective on Crusader
Jerusalem. Generously illustrated, this book will serve both as a
scholarly account of this city's archaeology and history, and a
useful guide for the interested reader to a city at the centre of
international and religious interest and conflict today.

On 15 July 1099 the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem beginning an innovative and prosperous Frankish rule over the city, which lasted a little over a hundred years and ended with the Khwarizmian conquest in 1244. This time of Crusader rule can be considered one of the most important in the history of Jerusalem. Through systematic renovation and repopulation, the Crusaders transformed a provincial town into the capital city of an eponymous kingdom: the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Adrian Boas's combined use of historical and archaeological evidence together with first-hand accounts written by visiting pilgrims results in a multi-faceted perspective of Crusader Jerusalem. This book will serve both as a scholarly account of this city's archaeology and a useful guide for the interested reader to a city at the centre of international and religious interest and conflict today.
The Crusader World is a multidisciplinary survey of the current
state of research in the field of crusader studies, an area of
study which has become increasingly popular in recent years. In
this volume Adrian Boas draws together an impressive range of
academics, including work from renowned scholars as well as a
number of though-provoking pieces from emerging researchers, in
order to provide broad coverage of the major aspects of the period.
This authoritative work will play an important role in the future
direction of crusading studies. This volume enriches present
knowledge of the crusades, addressing such wide-ranging subjects
as: intelligence and espionage, gender issues, religious
celebrations in crusader Jerusalem, political struggles in crusader
Antioch, the archaeological study of battle sites and
fortifications, diseases suffered by the crusaders, crusading in
northern Europe and Spain and the impact of Crusader art. The
relationship between Crusaders and Muslims, two distinct and in
many way opposing cultures, is also examined in depth, including a
discussion of how the Franks perceived their enemies. Arranged into
eight thematic sections, The Crusader World considers many central
issues as well as a large number of less familiar topics of the
crusades, crusader society, history and culture. With over 100
photographs, line drawings and maps, this impressive collection of
essays is a key resource for students and scholars alike.
