This volume records the first systematic archaeological reconnaissance of an area of Jordan extending from the Wadi ibn Hammad at the northern edge of the Lisan peninsula through the 'Ghor' and the northeast Wadi Arabah. It is an area that has been of interest to explorers and archaeologists for over 200 years; this survey builds on the 19th and earlier 20th century records to present an impressive account of the rich and varied archaeological heritage of the region. Extensively illustrated.
