Description
Book SynopsisLandscape Archaeology in the Near East: Approaches, Methods and Case Studies contains original research presented at the third international symposium of SNELA – the Society for Near Eastern Landscape Archaeology. SNELA was established in 2016 with the first symposium (held in Jerusalem) with the express aim of providing a meeting ground for all landscape archaeologists working on the Near East, especially local researchers.
The theme of the third meeting was ‘Archaeology and Anthropology of Resource Use in the Near East’. The papers are wide ranging, from the Palaeolithic to the classical Near East, with some focusing on settlement and movement for trade, but with the overarching threads of conservation of important archaeological landscapes and developing technology for the study of landscapes. The society is quite young and still finding its voice; this volume is a snapshot of a developing field.
