Thompson, Henry O.: Archaeology in Jordan

This book reports on the towers of the Ammonites, the excavation of Tell Siran and studies of its artifacts, and special archaeological features of the Levant. Archaeology has been growing in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as an academic subject in the schools, as an Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at the new Yarmouk University, as the ongoing publishing and digging and preservation efforts of the Jordanian Department of Antiquities as growing numbers of foreign expeditions dig into Jordanian soil. The 15 essays and reports in this volume share the experience and finds of several excavation and study efforts carried out with the Jordanian Department personnel who contribute to these studies.
