Literary, archaeological and cartographic data were collated to reconstruct the Darb al-Hajj al-Shami, stretching from Damascus to Mecca and bisecting Jordan longitudinally (7th-15th centuries). This was succeeded by the Ottoman route (16th-early 20th centuries), probably planned by Sinan, the famous architect of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and ultimately by the Hijaz Railway. Examination of the relationship between these three routes and landscape elements (altitude, slope, relief, orientation, distance to hydrographic network, springs), while taking into account visibility, security, climate, and obstacles of the terrain, enabled us to define environmental parameters, which were integrated into GIS analyses. These proved how the Umayyad to Mamluk route adapted to the changing terrain, whilst the Ottoman route was an artificial creation that moulded the environment according to a global project of civil engineering.

The last glacial-interglacial transition (LGIT), between 20 and 10 ka BP, saw a global reorganization of climate, as ice caps melted, and a revolution in the way people lived, as agriculture developed. Understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of environmental change over this time period is therefore of interest to a range of disciplines. There are few long-term continuous records of environmental change from Jordan, or the natural archives where these may be found, and yet the eastern desert contains evidence of a long, and sometimes complex, occupation history, suggesting environments in the past were signifi cantly different to those of today. Such evidence indicates that a resource base was available for these communities to survive, or that ancient cultural economies were signifi cantly more advanced than we currently give them credit for. From a palaeoclimate perspective, spatial patterns of environmental change differ through the LGIT in regions north and west of Jordan compared to Arabia and North Africa so understanding where Jordan sits in this regional divide is important for understanding global climate structure through this transition.
20 - 10 ka BP之间的最后一次冰期-间冰期过渡(LGIT)见证了全球气候的重组，冰盖融化;随着农业的发展，人类生活方式发生了革命。因此，了解这段时间内环境变化的时空格局是一系列学科的兴趣所在。约旦几乎没有长期连续的环境变化记录，也没有可能找到这些记录的自然档案，然而东部沙漠包含了长期的，有时甚至是复杂的占领历史的证据，这表明过去的环境与今天的环境有很大的不同。这些证据表明，这些社区的生存有资源基础，或者古代文化经济比我们现在所认为的要先进得多。从古气候的角度来看，与阿拉伯和北非相比，约旦北部和西部地区通过LGIT的环境变化空间格局有所不同，因此了解约旦在这一区域鸿沟中的位置对于通过这一转变了解全球气候结构非常重要。

The Productive Landscapes Project (PLP) was launched in 2014 with the aim of studying the ancient wine- and oil-producing infrastructure of north-west Jordan. The survey region, which comprises ca. 2,000 km2 from the Yarmouk to the Zarqa river, and from the Ghor to the west to the wadi Shellaleh to the east, was among the most densely inhabited of the southern Levant, boasting in the Roman and Byzantine period some of the largest urban settlements of the region. PLP is a GIS and survey project which aims to record and study all of the wine and oil-producing sites within the study region with the goal of establishing technological typologies, estimating production capacities and, ultimately, chronology. During the first season, 186 sites were entered in the GIS of the project, and 67 of them were ground-checked. Ten new sites were discovered through chance discovery during fieldwork. A preliminary typology of four types of presses was established, with a technological portfolio closely mirroring th...

We returned in spring 2009 to continue excavating the 40 × 15 m trench we opened in 2008. The team of 20 professional archaeologists was almost exactly the same as that in 2008, and this year Mohammad al-Najjar was able to be on site almost full-time, which allowed a fl ying start to the season. Our new representative from the DoA, Ashraf al-Khresheh, had little previous experience of prehistoric archaeology, but was an enthusiastic hard worker. There must have been something infectious about the team’s good spirit as our team of 25 Rashaydah, ‘Azazma and Sa‘idiyyin workmen, who normally fi nd the rather slow and fi ddly work on a prehistoric site increasingly tedious, all played an extremely positive and active role in the season. We were also very fortunate in the group of 16 students who joined us for the Easter vacation part of the season, who not only learned something of Neolithic archaeology, but also about Bedouin culture; sadly, although the humour translates very well it is not really suitable for putting into print. Friendships made in the fi eld are now easily maintained by mobile phone and SMS message, but it still surprises me to fi nd a group of Bedouin in Faynan roaring in laughter at a cryptic reference to one of their jokes being transmitted to them from a muddy archaeological trench in the UK.

Based on ethnographic work carried out in Jerusalem's Old City over a period of fifteen months, this article outlines the historical background necessary to understand the development of the diversity of Christianity in Jerusalem and explores the nature of relationships that are forged between resident monks as well as between local Palestinian Christians within the context of everyday life in a major shrine of Christianity, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, or Anastasis, in Jerusalem. Focussing upon the social lives of people within the Greek (called Rum) Orthodox community as they interact with intra-communal networks as well as those linking them with members of other Christian communities this paper suggests that the kind of relations that get established between people living in and around the Church of Anastasis are often symbiotic relations.

AbstractThe growing influence of Public Archaeology from within the discipline and the agendas of government, international organizations and funders from outside it mean there are increasing expectations that archaeologists will mobilize archaeological resources and knowledge to directly benefit present and future generations. As a result, archaeologists are encouraged to contribute to development agendas and are becoming increasingly involved in projects featuring local economic benefits and tourism. Such projects usually require skills and perspectives which go outside archaeologists’ traditional education, and are often challenging undertakings. International institutes, including the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) in Jordan, are well placed to respond to these challenging requirements in their role as facilitators of research and researchers. International institutes are fundamental in helping archaeologists to realize the potential of their work to support these agendas while main...

This article examines British-Southern Palestine Bedouin relations through the lens of collective memory and oral history interviews. It argues that British Mandatory authorities achieved a greater degree of control and stability in southern Palestine by incorporating Bedouin tribesmen into the Palestine Police and strengthening the frontier of their empire. Without the Bedouin being employed as mobile police forces, it would have been impossible to govern southern Palestine. However, there were occasions when Bedouin police supported the actions of rebels, particularly during the Great Revolt (1936–39). Nevertheless, the forces were rebuilt after the Revolt and they continued to be crucial for maintaining control during the British Mandate.

AbstractThe history of Christian pilgrimage in Syria-Palestine has captivated scholarly and public audiences since the first waves of research in the region in the nineteenth century. This subject continues to generate vibrant debate among scholars of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Central to this discourse is John Wilkinson’s seminal publication Jerusalem Pilgrims before the Crusades, first published in 1977. This text still offers the most systematic study of descriptions of pilgrimage to the region between the fourth and eleventh centuries, yet in spite of its popularity and central status to the subject, few of the texts collected in Wilkinson’s volume have received systematic study as literary compositions in their own right, or as products of individual writers and communities. This article offers an overview of issues which have emerged from a preliminary study of one of the texts published in the revised second edition of Jerusalem Pilgrims in 2002: Bede’s De locis sanctis, a survey of ...
摘要自19世纪该地区的第一波研究浪潮以来，叙利亚-巴勒斯坦基督教朝圣的历史一直吸引着学术界和公众的关注。这个问题在古代晚期和中世纪早期的学者中继续引起激烈的争论。这一论述的核心是约翰·威尔金森的开创性著作《十字军东征前的耶路撒冷朝圣者》，该书于1977年首次出版。这本书仍然对四世纪到十一世纪之间朝圣的描述提供了最系统的研究，然而，尽管它很受欢迎，在这个主题中处于中心地位，威尔金森的卷中收集的文本很少作为他们自己的文学作品，或者作为个人作家和社区的产物，得到了系统的研究。本文概述了对2002年《耶路撒冷朝圣者》修订版第二版中发表的文本之一的初步研究所产生的问题:Bede 's De locis sanctis，对…

In this article, the author, who normally concentrates on writing about the monuments of Petra, considers the Bdūl Bedouin, the last people to inhabit the site of Petra, who were a large part of the reason she was attracted to study the ancient city. Here, she reflects upon the Bdūl, their relationship with the monuments, tourists, and archaeologists, such as herself. She argues that their relationship and identification with Petra has grown stronger rather than weaker since they were relocated from the site to purpose-built housing in the village of Umm Sayhūn in 1985, even as intimate familiarity with living among the monuments recedes. Yet, still, the continued activities of the Bdūl in Petra help the author to imagine more ancient times.
