Tell el-Hayyat, the focus of this volume, is situated in the Jordan
Rift Valley approximately two kilometres east of the Jordan River
on the first terrace above the present floodplain. This work
details the authors investigations of agrarian economy and ecology
as they illuminate the roles of rural communities in the larger
context of the first urbanized civilizations. The study explores
the ways in which small farming villages like Tell el-Hayyat
contributed and responded to the rise and fall of Bronze Age town
life in the southern Levant. A rural perspective is particularly
appropriate for this region amid its long legacy of sedentary
agriculture, dynamic urban-rural relations, and their ecological
consequences.
