Tracing the patterns
Archaeological research in Lebanon often focuses on settlement from the Bronze Age to Roman periods, while surrounding landscapes, earlier and later periods are under-represented. Large datasets collecting information from all periods and site types, such as the Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa (EAMENA) database, address this imbalance. EAMENA predominantly uses satellite imagery to identify archaeological sites and the …
The Public Archaeology of Death by HowardWilliams, BenedictWills‐Eve, and JenniferOsborne Sheffield
The Jawz Valley. Reconstructing an Ottoman ‘waterscape’ in Mount Lebanon
Mount Lebanon, with its complex topography, abundance of water and often dense vegetation cover, has rarely featured in the new and growing field of medieval and Ottoman archaeology of the Levant. The historiography of Lebanon, by contrast, is rich and varied for this period, and addresses rural communities directly. This contribution presents the first results of cross-disciplinary research on a case study, the Jawz Valley, in northern Lebanon. …
From Above and on the Ground
The EAMENA (Endangered Archaeology of the Middle East and North Africa) project is a collaboration between the Universities of Leicester, Oxford and Durham; it is funded by the Arcadia Fund and the Cultural Protection Fund. This paper explores the development of the EAMENA methodology, and discusses some of the problems of working across such a broad region. We discuss two main case studies: the World Heritage site of Cyrene illustrates how the p…
Engaging with the Dead
Engaging with the Dead adopts a cross-disciplinary, archaeologically focused, approach to explore a variety of themes linked to the interpretation of mortuary traditions, death and the ways of disposing of the dead. Nineteen papers highlight the current vitality of ‘death studies’ and the potential of future research and discoveries. contributors explore changing beliefs and practices over time, considering how modern archaeology, ethnography and…

Settlement in the Upper Orontes Valley from the Neolithic to the Islamic Period
This paper presents the main developments in settlement organization in the Orontes Valley around the modern city of Homs from the Neolithic through to the Islamic period. Data drawn from ten seasons of fieldwork undertaken by the project “Settlement and Landscape Development in the Homs Region, Syria (1999-2010)” are used to delineate the main developments in settlement distribution and organization in each of three contrasting landscape units. …
Making the Dead Visible
Fitting upland, steppe, and desert into a ‘big picture’ perspective
Across the Levant a strong dichotomy exists between lowland valley landscapes, often characterized as cultural and economic hubs, and regions of perceived economic, social, and cultural marginality (e.g. uplands, steppes, and deserts). Despite the growing number of surveys and excavations being carried out within these regions there have been few attempts to collate this work into a broader landscape study. This study will demonstrate the potenti…
Pre-Classical Activity in the Basalt Landscape of the Homs Region, Syria
The article presents new evidence for activity of 4th and 3rd millennium BC date, from the basaltic landscape west of the Orontes River, near modern Homs, which provides an indication of the nature and extent of human activity at this time outside the main riverine basins. Through a consideration of the potential of the landscape, an analysis of the form, distribution and function of the main categories of structural evidence, and of the associat…
