Description

A comprehensive four-volume work analyzing the archaeological and linguistic data that pertain to the broad cultural milieu of the ancient Near East, the crossroads of three of the world's most influential religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Ranging from prehistoric times up to the early centuries of the rise of Islam, this work covers the civilizations of Syria-Palestine, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Iran, Arabia, Cyprus, Egypt and the coastal regions of North and East Africa. The work includes 1125 entries, alphabetically arranged, on sites, languages, material culture, archaeological methods, organizations and institutions, and major excavators and scholars of the field.
