The Archaeology of Syria
This was the first book to present a comprehensive review of the archaeology of Syria from the end of the Paleolithic period to 300 BC. Syria has become a prime focus of field archaeology in the Middle East in the past thirty years, and Peter Akkermans and Glenn Schwartz discuss the results of this intensive fieldwork, integrating them with earlier research. Alongside the major material culture types of each period, they examine important contributions of Syrian archaeology to issues like the onset of agriculture, the emergence of private property and social inequality, the rise and collapse of urban life, and the archaeology of early empires. All competing interpretations are set out and considered, alongside the authors' own perspectives and conclusions.
Resurrecting the Past
Twenty-nine Syrian and foreign archaeologists who have worked in Syria during Dr. Adnan Bounni's long directorship of the Syrian Excavation Service have contributed to this volume in his honour. The articles deal with a wide range of subjects within the field of Syrian archaeology. To a large extent they are based on field-work carried out by the authors in recent years. Other articles treat certain classes of objects now preserved in museums all over the world. One hundred and forty plates and extensive bibliographies enhance the value of this book for scholars and students in the field of Near Eastern archaeology, anthropology and cultural history.
