Ceramics and Change in the Early Bronze Age of the Southern Levant
This book sets out the primary issues and current debates in the use of ceramics to reconstruct and explain cultural economic and social processes in the Early Bronze age. By bringing together research on pottery from various parts of the southern Levant, it allows direct comparison of contemporary material from different regions. Alongside these empirical studies are discussions of general ceramic issues, so that the book highlights the potential of pottery as an investigative tool, and indicates fruitful directions for future research within the traditionally conservative field of Levantine archaeology.

Gaza à la croisée des civilisations
Entre terre et mer, Gaza - ville et territoire - suscita six mille ans de convoitises.

Les chercheurs palestiniens ...
