The Nabatean to Modern Periods (1st century BC – 20th century AD)\u003c\/i\u003e is the first of three volumes which chart the temporal, and spatial, occupational fluctuations at the site of Khirbat Faris in Southern Jordan and the stories of the communities that lived there. The detailed final excavation report follows the site and its environs throughout their many phases of use and occupation, from the 13th century BC to the present day. It provides a firm foundation for the succeeding discussions on key questions affecting our picture of the Nabatean, Late Antique and Islamic Levant. This well-illustrated book is essential reading for archaeologists, architectural historians, historical geographers, ethnographers: for anyone trying to understand the impact of varied environmental, social and economic forces upon settlement; for anyone seeking to unravel ways in which the use of ethnographic and historical data, together with archaeology and the types of excavation and analysis employed, can best respond to questions about rural settlement; for anyone eager to unpick the relationship between ‘The Desert’ and ‘The Sown’, between nomad and farmer, between tribe and state, between Christianity and Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Introduction\u003c\/b\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Introduction – \u003ci\u003eAlison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Excavation Methodology – \u003ci\u003eAlison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart II: Excavations and Stratigraphy\u003c\/b\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: The Western Edge (Far I) – \u003ci\u003eAlison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: The Central Area (Far II, the Khan (Far IV) and House 2) – \u003ci\u003eAlison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: The Highest Point (Far V) – \u003ci\u003eAlison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: House 1 – \u003ci\u003eAlison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART III: Finds\u003c\/b\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: Bone, Glass and Miscellaneous Finds – \u003ci\u003eHolly Parton with contributions by Mouna Khoury and Alison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: Metal Objects – \u003ci\u003eHolly Parton with contribution by Jeremy Johns\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9: Stone Objects – \u003ci\u003eHolly Parton with contributions by Douglas Baird and Dominique Collon\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart IV: Conclusions\u003c\/b\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10: Building Materials, Architecture and Settlement Morphology – \u003ci\u003eAlison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11: Reflections on the Archaeology of Khirbat Faris and Rural Jordan – \u003ci\u003eAndrew Petersen\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Concluding Remarks – \u003ci\u003eAlison McQuitty\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Bibliography ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAppendices\u003c\/b\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1: Context, Sub-Group and Phase Concordance ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 2: Sub-Group Descriptions ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 3: Group Descriptions ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 4: Sub-Group Matrices ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 5: Ceramic Survey of Site ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 6: The Small Finds Catalogue ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix 7: The Small Finds Tables ;  \u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"Archaeopress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020502565207,"sku":"9781789693898","price":47.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789693898.jpg?v=1750783575","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/khirbat-faris-rural-settlement-continuity-and-change-in-southern-jordan-the-nabatean-to-modern-periods-1st-century-bc-20th-century-ad-volume-1-stratigraphy-finds-and-architecture-9781789693898","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
