  • Not a place for respectable people, but the ends of the earth converge there

    Open AccessAlexander Wasse, Gary Rollefson et al.ARTICLELevant2024

    New data, recovered by the Eastern Badia Archaeological Project, from substantial structures at Wisad Pools have provided insights into the nature and context of eastern Jordan’s Black Desert Neolithic cultural complex, dating to between c. 7000 and 5000 cal. BC. Hunter-herder-trapper communities, with economies based partially on ante-mortem exploitation of domestic sheep, were adept at maintaining a balance between local and non-local adaptatio…

  • Expediting Reincarnation in the Fifth Millennium BCE

    Open AccessDavid Ilan, Yorke M Rowan et al.ARTICLEOxford Journal of Archaeology2019Citada por: 3Referências: 35

    We examine and reinterpret the phenomenon of containers used for the secondary burial of human remains – ossuaries – in the Chalcolithic period of the southern Levant, c.4500–3700 BCE. Ossuary form and decoration, both plastic and painted, is evocative and symbol‐laden. Since their first discovery in the 1930s, several hypotheses have sought to explain ossuary iconography, but none provides an integrated, holistic interpretation. Chalcolithic ico…

  • The Social Archaeology of the Levant

    Open AccessAssaf Yasur-Landau, Eric H Cline et al.BOOKSocial Archaeology of the Levant2018

    The volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the archaeology of the southern Levant (modern day Israel, Palestine and Jordan) from the Paleolithic period to the Islamic era, presenting the past with chronological changes from hunter-gatherers to empires. Written by an international team of scholars in the fields of archaeology, epigraphy, and bioanthropology, the volume presents central debates around a range of archaeological issues, includ…

  • Droning on in the Badia

    Austin C Hill, Yorke M Rowan et al.ARTICLENear Eastern Archaeology2017Citada por: 1Referências: 11

    Drones, or Unpiloted Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), are quickly changing approaches to archaeological mapping. They are effective tools for documenting smaller ancient features that might be missed by the resolution limitations of satellite imagery. As part of the Eastern Badia Archaeological Project, this article presents the preliminary results of a large-scale aerial survey of Wadi al-Qattafi, Jordan undertaken to map the kites and smaller features c…

  • Introduction. Leave no stone unturned

    Open AccessD Rosenberg, Yorke M Rowan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2016

    Ground stone tools served in many physical and social contexts through millennia, reflecting a wide variety of functions. Although ground stone tool studies were neglected for much of early archaeology, the last few decades witnessed a notable international uptick in the way archaeologists confront this multifaceted topic. Today, with the advance of archaeology as a discipline, research into ground stone artefacts is moving into a new phase that …

  • The Judean Desert as a Chalcolithic Necropolis

    David Ilan, Yorke M Rowan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mediterranean…2016Citada por: 3

    Cave deposits represent a special category of archaeological context that invokes its own set of research questions. The interpretation of these deposits, however, is often based on unfounded assumptions. The idea of ‘cave men’ utilizing caves as domestic space persists to this day, both in the public imagination and in archaeological interpretation. But a cave is not generally a good place to live; the adoption of caves as living space occurs in…

  • Gods and scholars

    Open AccessYorke M Rowan, Yorke RowanARTICLEAntiquity2016Referências: 3

    These two edited volumes reflect the continuing surge of interest in the archaeology of religious practice and belief. Over the past 20 years, archaeologists have turned their focus on the study of ritual and religion, challenging what Hawkes (1954: 162) considered the highest and most difficult to reach rung on his ladder of inference: "religious institutions and spiritual life". Renewed interest in the archaeology of religion and ritual was lar…

  • The Late Neolithic colonization of the Eastern Badia of Jordan

    Gary Rollefson, Gary O Rollefson et al.ARTICLELevant2014

    Pioneering research by Betts and by Garrard in the eastern steppe and desert of Jordan demonstrated the presence of Late Neolithic (c. 7000–5000 cal bc) pastoral exploitation of this currently arid/hyper-arid region, but the scale of Late Neolithic presence in the area was difficult to assess from the reports of their surveys and excavations. Recent investigations by the Eastern Badia Archaeological Project at Wisad Pools and the Wadi al-Qattafi …

  • Mapping with Aerial Photographs

    Austin C Hill, Austin Hill et al.ARTICLENear Eastern Archaeology2014Citada por: 6Referências: 2

    A rapidly expanding array of innovative technologies, combined with traditional techniques, allow more sophisticated photographic and photogrammetric techniques to document and analyze archaeological features, sites, and landscapes. With multiple ways to put a camera aloft over archaeological sites and landscapes, aerial photographs are more than a “bird's eye view.” Over five seasons at the Chalcolithic Period (c. 4500–3700 b.c.e.) site of Marj …

  • Egyptian-Canaanite Interaction at Nahal Tillah, Israel (ca. 4500-3000 B. C. E.)

    T E Levy, David Alon et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…1997

    The nature of the Dynasty 0-Dynasty I Egyptian presence in southern Israel has been a source of debate since the excavations of Tel Erani on the fringe of the northern Negev in the 1950s when numerous Egyptian artifacts were discovered. Since then, a wide range of models have been used to characterize the nature of Egyptian-Canaanite relations. These models include warfare/conquest, commercialization, distance parity, and world systems. The recen…
